''BUSH AND THE HOUSE OF SAUD'' - read it and weep.

[Carry_Okie]

One for you.

Gutless, spineless, balless US CongressCritters. I'd like to get rid of all 535 of the worthless traitors, and elect Real Conservative Americans into the US Congress, to get done what needs to be done to save America. With those 535 seditionists, we're being thrown under the bus on a daily basis.

Does anyone know what the roll call for the bill is?

[Dark Skies]

Good question...I'll see if I can find out.

Every time I read this stuff,

I remember that years ago,
when a conservative tried to give Yale 20 million dollars for a Western Civ.department,they refused the money.

"Congressman Dan Burton®"

Odd, is his name trademarked? :)

[rob777]

It looks like a version of the bill passed on 3/30 see:

I wonder what the difference was? In both cases most of the Dems voted against it.

Thanks for the ping.

I have pink PKM. She can tell us a lot of potential horror stories of the impact of Saudi/Opecker Prince money at the University of Oklahoma with its oil/petro research and classes.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for posting this.

One part "Most of the terrorists who are killing American soldiers in Iraq have been found to be Saudi nationals."

I would like to see the data on this. My money would be on the Iranians and their paid Islamofascists from the middle east.

I always thought that Clancy's book "Debt of Honor" had a happy ending...

[butternut_squash_bisque]

I've read some reviews, but didn't read the book. What happened?

[Cicero]

I have often heard that all the Arabists in the State Department retire on generous Saudi pensions if they have been good little supporters of the Saudis, which they always are. I believe this may be true of others who are in positions of influence concerning matters that the Saudis are interested in.

A Jap flew a 747 loaded with fuel into the Capitol during a joint session of Congress with the President, Cabinet and Supreme Court present - no survivors. (They had just sworn Jack Ryan in as Vice President.)

Yet for all the “educational assistance” sent abroad, Saudi Arabia’s own illiteracy rate has remained at nearly 50% of its population.

Literacy isn't the point of the madrasas. Indoctrination is.

[butternut_squash_bisque]

Wow. Art almost imitating life, on Flight 93...

Did it ever come out as a movie? I remember the 'Sum Of All Fears' on CATV, a few months ago.

How deep does the money go? Apparently with the failure of this bill, we won't know. There have been reports of top-flight Arabic-language American university departments refusing to cooperate with students funded by our intelligence agencies. Perhaps they do this for financial as well as ideological reasons.
