Politics & Government - 23 July 2006

Please discount that Bush has had six years in office and that Carter was lucky to get through four.

We attacked Iraq because of vague implications. We're enjoying the show as Israel tromps through Lebanon. Hell, we're sending them more weapons and money to help in their holy war against the Hezbullah spectre. We threaten Iran with war if they continue to try to become our equals. But Saudi Arabia is our friend? Even though we know that several of the 9/11 terrorsts are there right now. Even though we know that Osama traveled through the country unfettered shortly after 9/11. I guess they're just better at bribing our leaders.

was missing happy hours to meet his National Guard requirements? Is it because they are all named John? Is it a conspiracy? All that time in combat and they did not save one single stem cell. No wonder Christian soldiers support President Bush. Pass the Jack Daniels around and let's bow our heads.

Get in trouble for refusing to pay the judgment? I have won a judgment but have received nothing. Is there anything legal wise I can do? Can I reopen the case? Can the judge demand them to give me the money or will they help me collect or is it all up to me to collect? Also if i can reopen the case can I charge that fee to the defendant? Can they be arrested for not following the court order?

Right now they are a pretty scary nation. They would take Taiwan in a second if it wasn't for the US and who knows what else. I think them being a democracy would have the citizens more say in the matter and hopefully prevent imperielistic wars. so will they ever be a democracy?

According to the Saudi Arabian Embassy, the following "hijackers" are living quiet lives in Saudi Arabia:

Said Al-Ghamdi, Mohand Al-Shehri, Abdulaziz Al-Omari, Salem Al-hamzi, Khalid Al-Midhar.

Wail M. Al-Shehri, accused of hijacking AA flight 11, is also not dead. He is a pilot, his father a Saudi diplomat in Bombay. According to the LA times, 9/21/01, Gaafar Allagany, head of the Saudi Embassy’s information center talked to them both.
Waleed M. Al-Shehri, also on the flight 11 list, is a Saudi national who took flight training classes in Daytona Beach, Florida. He now lives in Casablanca and works for Royal Air Morocco. On Sept. 22nd according to the Associated Press he showed up at the U.S. embassy in Morocco. In their article they reported, “His photograph was released by the FBI and has been shown in newspapers and on television around the world. That same Mr. Al-Shehri has turned up in Morocco, proving clearly that he was not a member of the suicide attack.”

Satam Al-Suqami, who’s passport was found in the rubble of the World Trade Center, is also alive. He lives in the United Arab Emirates.

There are two men who claim to be Abdulaziz Al-Omari, both of them are alive in Saudi Arabia. One is a pilot with Saudi Airlines, the other an engineer with Saudi Telecoms who says he had his passport stolen in Denver Colorado in 1995. He reported the theft at the time to the Denver Police. The date of birth attributed to the Al-Omari on the FBI’s terrorist list matches that of this second Abdulaziz Al-Omari living in Saudi Arabia.

Marwan Al-Shehhi, said to be on UA flight 175, was born in the United Arab Emirates and has been dead since 1999.

Saeed Al-Ghamdi, an alleged hijacker on UA flight 93, who, along with Abdulaziz Al-Omari appears on the list of alleged terrorists still alive provided by the Saudi Embassy was in Tunis at the time of the attacks with 22 other pilots learning to fly an Airbus 320 and was interviewed by the London based Asharq Al Awsat newspaper.

Ahmed Al-Nami is an administrative supervisor with Saudi Arabian Airlines in Riyadh. He said he had “never even heard of Pennsylvania where the plane I was supposed to have hijacked” crashed, he had never lost his passport and found it “very worrying” that his identity was stolen and published by the FBI.

Taking all of these reports into account, Satam Al-Suqami, Waleed M. Al-Shehri, Wail M. Al-Shehri and Abdulaziz Al-Omari (AA flight 11); Mohand Al-Shehri (UA flight 175); Khalid Al-Midhar and Salem Al-Hamzi (AA flight 77) and finally Said Al-Ghamdi and Ahmed Al-Nami (UA flight 93) are all alive, Marwan Al-Shehhi was dead at the time of the attacks. None of these men were in the United States when the attacks occurred. This accounts for 10 of the alleged hijackers.

Is there any significance to the fact that three of the 10 are pilots and one an administrator for an airline company? Are these cases of mistaken identity or were these men’s identities stolen by the terrorists? Al-Mihdar, wanted in connection with other terrorist acts may have allowed his identity to be used so that he would be presumed dead. All we know is that the Saudi Embassy claims he is alive. Out of the three photos released of Kahlid al-Mihdar by the FBI one looks completely different than the other two.

Waleed M. Al-Shehri says he is indeed the same man who’s name, personal data and photo were published by the FBI and that he attended the flight school in Daytona Beach just as the FBI claims, but that he left the U.S. a year before 9/11 and had nothing to to with the attacks.

The personal data on Saeed al-Ghamdi that the FBI published matches that of the real Mr. al-Ghamdi, though the photos are different. Hamza Al-Ghamdi is not one of the hijackers who claim to still be alive, but his family claims the FBI’s photo of him bears “no resemblance to him at all”.

First thanks to "philip y" for the germ of the idea for this question.
Stay tuned. I've got another one for tomorrow with a wild life preservation theme.

Rules for answering.

1. Keep it clean, no obscenities.

2. Make a statement about one then about the other. E.g., “Peace Keepers wear blue helmets. Ref wears striped shirt.” If the statement applies to both then it’s OK to say “Both have selective blindness”. Setting up columns is OK if you can figure it out.

3. Back your answers up with reliable sources. Your cousin isn’t a reliable source unless she has special KNOWLEDGE of the subject (e.g., The ROCK or UN Peace keepers). Obvious bias (overlooking or exaggerating pluses and faults) may get you disqualified.

4. Spelling and grammar count.

I will judge the answers as fairly as I can. So, take your best shot. And no, this is NOT a homework assignment.
