This is weird -- photos from King Fahd's funeral

Postby maggrwaggr » Sat Dec 03, 2005 5:28 am

I've been trying to find photos from King Fahd's funeral.<br><br>They seem to have all pretty much vanished.<br><br>Either that or my ability to find them is, well, terrible.<br><br>I remember during the funeral seeing several photos of all the neo-con insiders -- Including Bush 41 -- all hanging out with Saudi royalties like old buddies ..... No other Americans seemed to be there, not even Clinton. It was strictly a neo-con sausage fest.<br><br>And in trying to find them again, well, I cannot.<br><br>I've tried Google, the AP, Getty Images .....<br><br>I can't find a single photograph of a single neo-con at King Fahd's funeral.<br><br>Anybody got any tips on where to find them? Or do you think they had them all scrubbed? <p></p><i></i>

Did you try the Wayback Machine?

Run the URLs of the pages you did find with photos of the funeral through it and see if there are older versions with the Usual Suspects.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.archive.org/web/web.php">www.archive.org/web/web.php</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

for the idea, but the trouble is, I don't have the urls. I just remember seeing all these photos at the time, and now they don't seem to exist anywhere on the web.<br><br>Unless I'm just a dumb-ass about finding them. Which is possible, seeing as how any of those names, typed into a search engine, will give you about twenty million gazillion hits.<br><br>I can't help but think they were, you know, cleaned up. <br><br>Any more holding-hand pics of the Bush family with Saudi royals .... you know, it doesn't look good.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

I remember that hand-holding... now that you mention it like that! It made the rounds of the now-defunct cloud-busters forum. <br><br>Guess the homo jokes just got to be too much for our Prezz. --MaryK <p></p><i></i>

All I can find of the US delegation is GHW Bush, Dick Cheney, and Colin Powell. Try "previous photo" for one of Cheney.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/08/05/world/main760624.shtml">www.cbsnews.com/stories/2...0624.shtml</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>
