FEMA Head Becomes Latest Bush Team Departure

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday December 27, 2002 06:32author by Reuters - Reuters Report this post to the editors

Joe Allbaugh resigned as FEMA director. He has a long history as a Jackson Stephens operative.

Mon December 16, 2002 02:50 PM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Joe Allbaugh, one of the "Iron Triangle" of aides who helped George W. Bush win the presidency in 2000, has resigned as head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, a White House spokesman said on Monday.
It was the latest in a string of departures of senior Bush administration officials following mid-term elections in November. Two top economic officials have been ousted and a senior White House aide is also leaving.

White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said Allbaugh left "to pursue other endeavors" after nine years of working with Bush.

"Joe is one of the president's staunchest supporters and good friends ... The president is going to miss him a great deal. He's a great guy, a real kind man, a gentle giant and we'll miss him," Fleischer told reporters.

Allbaugh was the manager of Bush's 2000 presidential campaign. Allbaugh, Karl Rove and Karen Hughes -- the "Iron Triangle" -- were considered Bush's innermost circle of advisers, known for managerial and organizational skills.

Allbaugh said in a release he would assist as FEMA is moved into the new Department of Homeland Security and would leave the administration in March. He said he was leaving to enter the private sector and spend more time with his wife and children.

As head of FEMA, Allbaugh was deeply involved in the federal response to the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States and in preparing emergency workers across the country to deal with any future attack.

Last week, the White House announced the resignation plans of Mary Matalin, top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney and an adviser to Bush.

Matalin is expected to remain heavily involved with the White House, in a capacity similar to that of Hughes, who left a top job at the White House last year but still works closely with Bush.

Bush earlier pushed out Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill and White House economic adviser Lawrence Lindsey to revamp his economic team.

Rove remains at the White House as a senior adviser and top political strategist.

"Irish Foreign Minister Brian Cowen was tonight forced to admit that the Government had granted Irish citizenship to a brother-in-law of Osama bin Laden.

Sheikh Khalid bin Mahfouz was given an Irish passport along with nine associates in 1990 by the then Prime Minister Charlie Haughey in "dubious" circumstances, the Irish Parliament heard.

Sheikh Mahfouz went on to channel millions of dollars into bin Laden's network through front charities, it was claimed........."

Just because the brother-in-law of Osama got Irih citizenship does not mean much, really.

Arab families, like the bin Laden's, are often huge - even by Irish standards.

still, it is interesting - but says nothing about why his brother-in-law was/is here. Perhaps, he was escaping the harsh Saudi life?

it´s more fun than playstation on this the third day of christmas.
Passports for sale. and ye thought you´d heard the last of that.
oh no.
Little rascals.
Osama´s *Yemeni* citizenship has been revoked.
his clan is huge.
Osama´s personal fortune was estimated by Jordanian intelligence in 1995 [one year after the remit of the "Irish passports for sale" inquiry] to be $300,000,000.
The Jordanians warned everyone.
But many western interests were "using" such people bach then. Western interests often "use" such people. The Supreme little Rascal was only doing his true job.
Maybe there is no mention of his "true job" in bunreacht na h-Eireann, but there you go,
-live and learn.

"Allbaugh is expected to be a senior adviser to Bush’s re-election campaign"

http://stacks.msnbc.com/news/848113.asp


he is just leaving to work on Bush's re-election, and will probably have a Homeland Security/FEMA appointment again, if/when Bush is re-elected.
