But in this situation the Bin Ladens the Bush's associated with close relatives of Osama not some remote distant surname.
Truly I'm just having fun with this topic I don't seriously believe this. Though all the cookie crumbs are certainly interesting.
There are something like 600 members of the Bin Laden family who are closely related in having the same set of brothers as their parents or grandparents. Some of the men had as many as ten wives, explaining the rapid growth. Osama was disowned by the family in 1994 and also had his Saudi passport and citizenship revoked at that time.

North Vietnamese patrol boats fired on a US warship sailing close to North Vietnam gathering intelligence to support the ongoing program of South Vietnamese commando raids on North Vietnam. The NVs got their tails whipped. A second supposedly more serious attack by North Vietnam two days later in fact was fictional but was used as an excuse to bomb the NV Navy. Shortly after that Congress gave the President authorization to do whatever he wanted in Vietnam.
Please note that this is in the History section of the official US Navy web site and has been there since at least Bush 43's first term. I used to link to it years back.
