Saudi Arabia is a terrorist state which funds international terrorism against America and Israel. It also incites terrorists to committ murder through its militant Islamic ideology present in its country, as well as it is present throughout the Arab world. What will it take for us to treat the Saudis as a terrorist government? Another 9/11?

They will eventually require the attention of our war on terror IMO!

I think Bush intends to act.

We probably need to do two things first, before we can deal with the Saudis: Get the Iraqi oil fields pumping large volumes of crude, and get the election out of the way. Our worst enemies in the War on Terror are the Democrats and the Media.

Saudi Arabia will make a great parking lot someday. Though, there will be plenty of oil pumping rigs to maneuver around while parking......

I hear what you're saying Yonif, but I'm not sure you or I have an answer. Yes Saudi Arabia has been on the wrong side all too often recently. The question is, what do we do about it?

If we took out the leadership of Saudi Arabia and installed another government with free elections, the result would probably be far worse than what we have now.

We're seeing how difficult it is to set Iraq up with a good government.

I'm not saying I'd never sign on to this, but for right now, I think it would be best to finish the job in Afghanistan and Iraq, expand it to Iran and Syria, then clean out Saudi Arabis. Perhaps Africa should be next.

During this process the oil supply needs to be kept flowing because we still haven't pursued an alternative energy supply. Until we do obtain an alternative energy supply, we'll be prostrate over an oil barrel.

There's a lot of work to be done. We're doing part of it.

Terror Probe Follows the Money

WASHINGTON -- For two and a half years, terrorism investigators have scoured the globe for evidence of where exactly al Qaeda has acquired its funds. Not long ago, they made what could be a milestone discovery.

From January 1998 through August 1998, bank records show, a Saudi investor named Yassin Qadi transferred $1.25 million from his Geneva bank account through an associate to an alleged al Qaeda front company in Turkey, known as Maram.

Even before the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Mr. Qadi, like some other wealthy Saudis, faced questions about whether his prolific charitable endeavors funded terrorism. But the 1998 transaction, never disclosed publicly before, marks the strongest documented link to date between the terror organization and Saudi financiers, who combine their great wealth with support for radical Islam.

Because it connects Mr. Qadi directly to alleged al Qaeda terrorists, the Maram connection "has the potential to be extremely significant," said former National Security Council aide William Wechsler, an expert on terror financing.

Despite many outsiders' suspicions, Saudi financiers long avoided scrutiny by their own monarchy, which used its strong ties to the U.S. to help shield them. Even today, after their own country has been attacked by al Qaeda and many Islamic charities have been exposed as fronts for terrorism, many devout Saudis take great offense at the global effort to restrain and regulate their charitable undertakings. The trail that Mr. Qadi's money took after it reached Turkey underscores just how blurry the line is between funding charity and funding jihad.

Of the 1998 transactions, Mr. Qadi's lawyers insist his gifts were meant merely to help the worthy cause of religious education -- in this case, an Islamic school in Yemen -- not to buy arms. However, the school itself has come under scrutiny partly because it is run by an alleged associate of Osama bin Laden. Its most famous alumnus is John Walker Lindh, the so-called American Taliban who is serving a 20-year sentence.

Mr. Qadi's lawyers say his donations originally were made to a personal friend and business associate whom the U.S. accuses of being an alleged al Qaeda operative. The funds, records show, were then transferred to Maram, a Turkish travel and trading firm.

While I am sure this is all true, and should be dealt with accordingly, I have to wonder why Newsweek is printing it.

IMO, probably several 9-11's. The "world community" will be VERY slow to pick up on militant (wahabbi) islamists, IMO. I recommend stocking up on LOTS of weaponry and ammunition. Only after these fantasy-oriented fanatics understand that every person around them has the will to fire a bullet into their skulls will they stand down.

Ho hum. Nothing to see here. Move along.

The house of Saud pitches and the Bush boys catch. Same ole same ole. So long as the money flows a few thousand dead Americans are insignificant.
