would Americans finally be appalled by our government's alliance with Saudi Arabia, the world's largest and most prolific exporter of global terrorism?
'The charities were part of an extraordinary $70 billion Saudi campaign to spread their fundamentalist Wahhabi sect worldwide. The money helped lay the foundation for hundreds of radical mosques, schools, and Islamic centers that have acted as support networks for the jihad movement, officials say.
U.S. intelligence officials knew about Saudi Arabia's role in funding terrorism by 1996, yet for years Washington did almost nothing to stop it. Examining the Saudi role in terrorism, a senior intelligence analyst says, was "virtually taboo." Even after the embassy bombings in Africa, moves by counterterrorism officials to act against the Saudis were repeatedly rebuffed by senior staff at the State Department and elsewhere who felt that other foreign policy interests outweighed fighting terrorism.'

i certainly hope that doesn't happen. don't want another attack, and don't wish to contemplate an attack on Saudi Arabia. sure the wtc gang were mostly Saudi, and too probably with knowledge of at least part of the Saud leadership. the thing is, there's this place in saudi called Mecca. they have this rock they're real proud of. an incursion into Saudi could very well be considered an attack on that rock. in which case, moslems from the west coast of africa to the mid pacific, and even in south america, hell, even in north america would probably turn violently against us. there would be no holding them back. there are a billion and a half moslems in the world. while they may fight among themselves presently... , it wouldn't be pretty.

During all of the Bush years (Sr. and Jr.) Saudi's have had total freedom because of the deep business ties of the Bushs. It has nothing to do with foreign policy because we have no foreign policy, just foreign interests, of the Bushs, Cheney, etc.
Someday after Lil Bush's reign, we will probably hear more and more about this and what will Bill O, Hannity and Rush have to say about that?! How will they spin that to a positive?!
That's where their greatest entertainment value comes from, their ability to completely change course and make it believable!

No, in fact there is not any longer something that would desire to help his acceptance as he's liable for each thing it somewhat is happening. (no longer me) that's what Hollywood thinks and by using ways which one is next to be voted off the island? the optimal flow press is heading for an iceberg. that is been genuine in previous couple of elections that, the voters rally for the underdog. So Dubya's low scores propose republicans would be out in stress. on an identical time as the Dem's. would be whining approximately some thing or yet another that they only might get elected to, to the terrific option. i'm going to attend and notice for myself, as political background is regarding the main mundane repetitive mire.

Blaming the saudis would make too much sense.

This is my biggest beef with Dubya and his inept leadership. We should have declared war on Saudi Arabia a long time ago.

I know I already am/have been.
And, in such an event, I would want to make an ashtray of Mecca and Medina.
Yes, I would.

Keep your freinds close and your enimies closer.
The US is trying to change the shape of the Mid East.
Not sure if it is going to work but we ignored it and that did definately not work.
It is easy to play arm chair President and shoot things down while never trying consider the option present.
