AP reported that truckloads of cash from SA are being sent over to the insurgency.
If the US were to follow Bush's vision that "we will go after those that commit terror, and those that harbor it ", then does that mean we really have more enemies then we originally thought at this point?
Why would SA bother, what is their interest to help one side, and NOT help everybody...being they are supposedly so noble?
Should we sock them in the eye, or just turn our cheeks to this?
If we turn our cheeks...this GREATLY reduces Bush's already bad image. And our's.
And will it work out the whole middle east will war over oil-rich Iraq soon?

Mark, I agree with that assessment.

maybe not Muslim, but Islamic radicals and such.

They are funding the Sunnis, Iran is funding the Shiites. Saudi is afraid of the Shiites getting too much power in Iraq and Iran having control over the region. It's going to get worse no matter what. Without Iran Hezbollah and the Sunni militias are out of funding, Syria is not strong enough to do it on its own, and Lebanon would settle back into their democratic government if Hezbollah was to lose its funding and training thru Iran. The only possible way to stop the wars in the Middle East is actually to destroy Iran's ability to fund and train. But I do not see that happening. The anti war crowd would go nuts on us for that. Iran and Syria can subsidize war and terrorists and no one says anything about them? Why is that? Funny isn't it?

Who cares about Iraq?
The Saudis funded AL QAEDA pre 9/11. They gave over $300 million in protection money to Al Qaeda in 1998 in exchange for a guarantee Al Qaeda wouldn't attack targets in Saudi Arabia.
Bin Laden made good on this agreement until after 9/11 when the Saudis essentially broke their side of the agreement by supporting our military action in Afghanistan.
The Saudi government is our enemy in the war on terror. It would have been more appropriate to take action against them than Iraq in the first place. And not only did they fund Al Qaeda, they continue to finance virtually every group of militant Islamic terrorists all over the world.

besides the fact that Saudi " may well be" the birthplace of AlQaeda yet what manifested this ideology is from the united states's unwavering help for Israel's terrorism on the Palestinians. 9/11 became into not an attack on your freedom it became into an eye fixed for an eye fixed, tooth for a tooth. i don't help or condone them nor do i help Americas pull down your pants and enable me f*** you coverage the two.

it works out that we are funding saudi from all our oil cash. so then the saudi's use that to fund terrorist groups exspecially the suni's cuz they dont want the power to tip in iraq in any way or form... also we also think the saudi's may be capable of making a nuke ... that isnt good news... do i think there next on america's list? possibly but are allies are going to have to help us considering we have problems w/ north korea and all muslims...

We arent fighting Iraqis. We are fighting muslims from all over the world, but on Iraqi soil.
This war has turned out to be muslims v. others
