[history]
February 10, 2004 -- Saudi authorities have arrested a fighter pilot under suspicion of planning to crash a jet in Israel in a Sept. 11-style terror attack, it was reported yesterday.
The pilot had allegedly been recruited by al Qaeda to carry out the homicide mission against an undisclosed target, Israeli TV reported. Saudi investigators are rounding up other people who may have been involved in the plot, and the investigation is continuing, the report said.

I looks like I might have to make an iron on of it in a few months, maybe talk one of the local Tshirt shops into doing a silk screen.
I have never felt so against a candidate until now.

Exactly, Brad Cloven.
The potential Saudi threat is taken seriously because 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudis, and al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden is Saudi-born.
Another chance to "connect the dots".

Very true, however I firmly believe that Jordan ( In this given scenario) would assist Israel in some form or another. They have got to much to loose!

Been my thoughts all along. A lot of good a fist full of dollars will be when your family/friends are dying around you because the economy came before our security.

Algeria is one country you cannot get a work visa if you have an Israel stamp in your US passport. Don't know about others.

In 2002 there was an odd incident at Pax River -- A Saudi AF trainee collided his plane with another, resulting in the deaths of all four(?) aviators.
The incident got almost NO press.
Always struck me as rather suspicious.

SOME Saudi's are our allies. The trick is telling which is which.

The game is not over until the House of Saud falls.
I must beg to disagree. If the House of Cards, I mean Saud falls, it means Al-Qu'aida has won and the game will be ON(!)

"homicide mission against an undisclosed target" Was he going after Veep Cheney?
They don't have the Gravitas to go after Dick "Big Time" Cheney.

>>Most these guy's were schooled in Great Britian or the US and have aquired a taste for western culture...
The danger is the younger officers, some of whom have not been trained in the west since Zia began the Islamization of the country.
You're correct; outward manifestations of cordiality can't be taken at face value, even from those nominally proAmerican.
But then, as has been pointed out often, I'm biased and have an agenda, being from Inja and all. :>>

Someone needs to send him multiple copies of the Freeper terror thread...the latest suggestion was that there are some 30 WMD devices deployed in US cities. Do you have a URL for that part of that thread handy? If it's one of those thirty thousand post threads, I'll never be able to wade my way through it at modem speeds. (I live in modem-only rural "flyover country".)

Exaggerated? Yes, of course, exaggerated, absolutely. Technology has come a long way in the past couple of years. All of those voters can now be replaced by computers, casting their "Internet votes" through untraceable proxies in China.

That idiotic quote from Kerry will be his undoing. I guarantee it. Only if the "controlling media authority" decides for some reason to turn on him. I guarantee it. They'll meet every question about it with a vein-bulging red faced screamfest about, "Where are Bush's duty records?"
Meaningless? Pointless? Stupid question for them to scream?
Yeah, so? So what. They don't do things because they're the right thing to do. They do 'em to steer the agenda. The entire leftward media-entertainment-"news" machine will close rank to cover his slimy ass over this one.

I hope you explained to them that they've got to pry off the labels and open the case of each hard drive to check if any of the platters say "Made in Israel".
