-In July 2005, a Treasury official testified before Congress that Saudi Arabia-based and funded organizations remain a key source for the promotion of ideologies used by terrorists and violent extremists around the world to justify their agenda. In addition, according to State's 2005 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report, Saudi donors and unregulated charities have been a major source of financing to extremist and terrorist groups over the past 25 years. In July 2003, a former State Department official testified before Congress that a Saudi-based charity, al-Haramain Islamic Foundation, had allegedly financed assistance to the Egyptian terrorist group Gamma al-Islamia. In May 2004, the same former State official also testified that some half dozen of the most visible charities, including two of Saudi Arabia's largest, the International Islamic Relief Organization and the World Muslim League, have been linked to supporting Islamic terrorist organizations globally. In addition, a former Treasury official identified Wa'el Hamza Julaidan as a senior figure in the Saudi charitable community who provided financial and other support to several terrorist groups affiliated with al-Qaeda operating primarily in the Balkans. Moreover, the 9-11 Commission report states that al-Qaeda raised money in Saudi Arabia directly from individuals and through charities.

never assume you have all the facts....especially as it relates to terrorism
you only know what the intelligence forces in power allow you to know
maybe look back to the reasons money or wealth are always thrown in the mix........because its something Americans want to believe.......the same reason they throw Islam into the mix....American people in general know little about Islam and see it as something strange and foreign.......enough for the average American to fear and dislike....
the American public is easy to manipulate.....as evidenced by your child like question and limited knowledge given to you by the news media
did you even know Iran has a sizeable Jewish population ??? other countries in the Middle East have a totally different profile than what we expect........maybe worse or maybe better,,,,but certainly not what the government wants us to accept
there is so much about the Middle East that Americans stereotype without question
I am a veteran of Viet Nam..........I will NEVER EVER blindly believe the government or the news media ever again
the news media has fed lies to the American public before and will do so again whenever the government says it is for national security
forget Saudi Arabia.....thats a diversion
Russia, Ukraine etc still collectively have several thousand nuclear weapons capable of reaching anywhere on the face of the earth..........and now that country is run by who..............................?
be ready for the war to spread
and dont be surprised if a "pre-emptive" strike is justified due to terrorism......and American people will believe every word............
we dont have bomb shelters anymore
Russia has shelters for over 11 million people it considers important...............basically the people in power and the government and military functionaries
wake up people

"Because they have nothing to do with it. If they believe and supported terrorist, why would they sell us Oil."
LOL, how old are you?
Edit:
My answer is that Saudi Arabia wants to control Iraq or take out Iraq. All this was pre-planned.

The same way the US funded the Taliban; the same way the US loved Saddam until he tightened his control over the oil supplies; the same way the US wants to put missiles on the Russian border when the same US threw a hissy fit when Russia wanted to do the same thing in Cuba.
