I don't usually give statements attributed to UBL or his lackies much credence, but it does sound plausible, especially when you consider the people in Saudi Arabia that support the agenda of Al Qaeda, e.g. Prince Nayef, and Khaled Bin Mahfouz.
I think it is the good sense of the American public that it would be far easier for al Qaeda to penetrate an Arab firm than a British or American firm. Let the critics play the PC race card with that all they want. Personally, I think we ought to look for a Danish firm to manage the ports....
Absolutely correct. These sheikdoms play both sides. And it is one thing to use them for oil and whatever else we must, it is quite another to let them in the henhouse and reward them with chickens.
