Riviera the place for George Bush to train the big guns
George Dubya is looking in the wrong place for al-Qaeda. The US supreme commander should train his guns on the French Rivieria where one of Osama bin Laden's brothers owns an exclusive villa in Cannes just down the road from Nice. It is only a stone's throw from Saddam Hussein's former villa.
As if that wasn't a big enough hint the nearby Villa Bagatelle is owned by a Saudi prince. Another Arab royal owns the Villa al-Ryan and neighbours include the eldest son of King Fahd of Jordan, who paid millions for the Palais des Horizons. Only problem, the Arab Riviera is an gated-community with enough security to keep out Bush and his tomb raiders. There are more security than you can shake a stick at and no one is allowed to walk the streets.
