Salem bin Laden 

brother of Osama bin Laden, in 1979 he provided financing for George W Bush to start a small oil company called Arbusto this was the beginning of a long friendship and business relationship between the Bush family and the bin Laden family

Bush's friendship with Salem bin Laden has surely clouded his judgement in dealing with Osama bin Laden. Instead of aggressively persuing Osama, Bush invaded Iraq, removed Osama's mortal enemy Saddam Hussein from power and turned Iraq over to al Qaida.
