Please put holes in this story?

Question

George Bush and his crew are tight with the elite class of Saudi Arabia, which has a population of the most radical Muslims on the face of the earth, the Wahhabis. Some of these Saudi Wahhabis flew jets into a couple NYC skyscrapers and the Pentagon in 2001, killing 3000 Americans.

Two years later, the Bush Administration uses the fear of terrorism, cultivated by the Wahhabi pilots, to invade Iraq, a comparably moderate Muslim nation which had a population of zero terrorists.

Now, the executive branch of the US government wants to arm Saudi Arabia, disregarding its status as a terrorist breeding ground

Answer 1

No can do. The story is both factual and sound. The conclusion is that Bush and Cheney are in this war to make money for their defense company benefactors. It is as plain and simple as the nose on our faces.

edit: neo-cons won't even admit that Saddam and Al-Q were at odds. There were no terrorists in the Saddam controlled regions until Bush invaded the country.

Answer 2

George Bush and his crew are tight with the elite class of Saudi Arabia, as to which is President Clinton and Hillary, which has a population of the most radical Muslims on the face of the earth, but their leadership are not extreemist, the Wahhabis. Some of these Saudi Wahhabis flew jets into a couple NYC skyscrapers and the Pentagon in 2001, killing 3000 Americans.

Two years later, the Bush Administration uses the fear of terrorism, cultivated by the Wahhabi pilots, to invade Iraq, a comparably moderate Muslim nation which had a population of zero terrorists. If you don't want to consider a man who threatens to havve WMD and wants to kill us a non-terrorist.

Now, the executive branch of the US government wants to arm Saudi Arabia, disregarding its status as a terrorist breeding ground as we have done to many countries in the middle east for many years.

The New York Sun reports: “President Clinton’s new $165 million library here was funded in part by gifts of $1 million or more each from the Saudi royal family and three Saudi businessmen. The governments of Dubai, Kuwait, and Qatar and the deputy prime minister of Lebanon all also appear to have donated $1 million or more for the archive and museum that opened last week.”

Answer 3

A couple holes:
The Wahabis that flew planes into the WTC are actually part of a group whose goals include overthrowing the Saudi Government, to say that they're the same is like saying the US and Timothy McVeigh are the same
"Iraq had zero terrorists" is wrong and hurts your point, there were terrorists there. Hell there are terrorists in America, there's probably a terrorist in your state.

Answer 4

This situation is the result of the nature of Saudi Arabia:

Its rich.
Its under the control of a single aristocratic family.
The other power base is Wahabi-ism

The house of Saud want to keep the cash, the Wahabis want Islamic laws.

America wants the oil, and supplies the military hardware to protect the status-quo - along with the potential for more support.

So, for now, everyone's pretty happy, except the non-Wahabi, non-Saud segment of the population.

But sooner or later push is going to come to shove - the Wahabis and the capitalist princes are an uneasy combination. It could turn very pear-shaped very quickly and very messilly.

Wahabis + Weapons + OIL + Cash = Trouble.

Answer 6

Bush groupies will defend anything Bush tells them to. They'll label Iraq and Iran as terrorists states but defend Saudi Arabia and Pakistan because Bush is friends with those people.

The only people more pathetic then Bush and Co. are the morons who defend and support them.

Answer 7

Iraq's alleged terror camps were in areas more under the control of the US than of the Hussein government, in the remote northern regions of the country. Nice try, but your pathetic grasping at straws in trying to paint Iraq as a terrorist haven over a couple of sketchy details falls well short of undermining the truth of the statement (minus possibly the part about zero terrorists being there).

Answer 8

Iraq had training grounds for Al Quaeda . It also had an active campaign of terror against its own citizens. That is a hole you could drive a tank through.

I don't forgive the Saudi leadership for their careless sponsorship of Wahhabis but that doesn't make them terrorists. Saudi Arabia is very important to keeping the price of fuel from skyrocketing. It is better to respect foreign leaders than treating them as sugar daddies like other presidents have.

If you are not paying attention there is another country in the region threatening stability. That is Iran and its ally Syria.

Answer 9

No, can't shoot any holes in it... but I can add another wrinkle from a news article early last month:

U.S. Backs Off Saudi Bank Linked to Militant Funding:
http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=07/07/27/144210
"The Wall Street Journal is reporting the U.S. has opted to take a hands-off approach to a Saudi bank U.S. intelligence has linked to the financing of militant Islamic extremists. The Al Rajhi bank is among vast holdings belonging to the Saudi billionaire Sulaiman Al Rajhi. The banks activities’ reportedly set off an intense debate within the Bush administration on how to take action. But confidential reports show the administration has ultimately chosen to quietly lobby Saudi monarchs rather than take punitive steps. U.S. intelligence says Al Rahji Bank has held accounts and accepted donations for charities formally designated as fronts for al Qaeda or other militant groups. The CIA concluded the Al Rahji family was knowingly involved."

And another wrinkle... shortly after 9/11, planes were chartered to fly members of of the bin Laden family and other Saudis from the US to Saudi Arabia:
-- FBI's 9/11 Saudi Flight Documents Released
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/062207A.shtml
"Newly released documents reveal the FBI suspected that a plane hired to transport members of the bin Laden family from the United States back to Saudi Arabia might have been chartered by Osama bin Laden himself."
(Article contains links to FBI documents)
-- Bin Ladens allowed out of U.S. after 9-11
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=34405
"... planes sanctioned by the Bush administration flew about the country gathering some 140 high-ranking Saudi Arabians – including several relatives of al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden – who were then spirited out of the country."

Sorry for the long quotes... I thought we were committed to stopping the flow of money to terrorist groups, so this bit of news really shocked me! Something really stinks here!!

Answer 10

The worlds worst terrorist is George Bush. Your country has trained and armed every terrorist the world has seen. Then you claim to be the good guys and try to get rid of them when they stop following orders.
Even the people fighting our troop in Iraq are shooting at us with our own guns and funded by our own money

Answer 11

Wish I could. Go war on terror!!!

Edit: Thought I would fill two supposed holes with one link. Read it and see that the terrorists came after the invasion not before.
