More than $5 million in cash and a large stockpile of weapons were also seized in the raids.

I am sure they will get court appointed lawyers, duck with wild rice for their dinner entrees and be called “freedom fighters” by certain left wing elements in their society...

Hey S.D.!

Gee! I wonder?. Mmmm....

Will the DEMOCRATS come out with a " Great JOB! WEll DONE! " type of press release?...or..

Will they simply ADVOID the whole conversation?

Will REID, KENNEDY, DICK " Gulag " Durbin even bring up if the Saudi's used TORTURE TECHNIQUES to get their information?

Too bad this all happened AFTER the Great , Big Democrat-Debate-Spin-off debate last night!!! But you know--that not ONE LIBBIE TALKING HEAD would DARE even bring up this " Fighting Terrorism Alliance of George Bush's / Capturing of Terrorists into ANY interview!!

Great Post Sub Driver!

Hello Second Banana!

Let's all play a Game!!

Can YOU , or anyone else here, guess : WHICH " Interigation Technique " did the Saudi's use to get Their Information from captured Terrorists to stop this plot?

Torture Technique A : Liberal Technique:The " It's only a Law-Enforcement problem " Solution;

or..Torture Technique B : the Saudi Technique : " It's worked in the PAST!..it's good enough for US!.." Technique ;

(Technique "B" : Approved by 9 out of 10 Saudi's Interigators since 748 B.C.!!...)

Of course you know PGalt ; The WHOLE "Terrorists Plot Un-Covered " thing was actually :

1) George Bush's Idea to Scare the World into believing that Terrorists are behind every bush!! hahaha! or...

2) A PLOT by the BUILDEBERGer's! and other SECRET ORGANIZATIONS like Skull & Bones to Raise the Price of OIL!! of which AGAIN: George BUSH is a Member of!!

Where ARE all those Great Conspiracy Theories that always come out during times like this??!!

DA ...

True, True F-15!

We are " Disney Land " compared to the Saudi's which is more towards a " Dante's Infernal " approach to "Questioning"!

ANOTHER Reason why , when asked, SADDAM'S Royal Gaurds told our soldiers- they couldn't WAIT to surrender to the UNITED STATES Troops- rather than other nations!--BECAUSE of the DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP HERE that would fight for THEIR RIGHTS!!

HEY! EUREKA!

You just reminded me!!

Even at last night's " Demo-Rat's DEBATE "--I haven't heard a single LIBBIE with , " WHY aren't we chasing Bin Laden???-WHERE'S Bin Laden??? " in WEEKS!!

( Although..I HAVE been hearing the " WE WERE MIS-LEAD " Lines over and over-- we do you THINK they keep presenting that DOOMED/Veto-Gauranteed Support Bill to Bush?--

SO ( they Think ) they can , hopefully, TRY to make the rest of the War ALL George W's "Fault"--and make America FORGET that fact that THEY WERE VOTING FOR THE WAR based on the very same info!

Since Their Big Mouths ( ALL for Politcal gains only ) about " Saddam MUST GO! " will be the rope around their necks with their base for ever!(Until the libbies manage to Re-Write the History books again!)

Given that the Saudi royals are afraid of these folks some of them will likely get beheaded.

Why take chances? All will probably make a one-way trip to Chop-chop Square, after disclosing all of their secrets.

hey S.D.?

Who do YOU Think will be the "one" Libbie/Demo-Rat ;Talking Head, Politician to Bring this UP? Or do you think they will even acknowledge this capturing?

President Bush BETTER Play this Capture out for all it's worth!

I am SICK & Tired! ( to borrow Schrillary's High-Voice Scretched one-liner!) of Presdient Bush AND his Administration (AND ESPECIALLY our own so-called " Republican Politicians in office " ) for NOT "Bragging" about their and their Allies Great Strides in stopping Planned Terrorist Attacks!

If this were an Demo-Rat Administration- THEY and their media talking head counter parts would be BLASTING This news all over the place!!---right?:

"...today!...another GREAT Bill & Hillary plus against the War on Terror was achieved as the CLINTON'S TERRORIST AGENDA single handedly prevented a MAJOR TERRORIST STRIKE against our Prcious , Courageous Allies the Saudi's!..."

Did you catch where almost all of these fools declared that they would NOT immediately conter attack following another 9-11 assault, but would rather engage the world in a ‘conversation’ to find out what we did to bring about such a fate.
