Bush to Welcome 10,000 Saudi Students to American Schools
--Foreign Student Visas, Easy Avenue for Terrorists Entry to US
Directly following the monstrous attacks of 9/11, the US government took a step back from the routinely lightly vetted approvals for student visa applications, especially from Saudi Arabia. Previous to 9/11, Saudi citizens were also offered quick entry to the USA with a policy called "visa express" where their applications routinely escaped close scrutiny and were easily rubber stamped ahead. Three of the 9/11 hijackers took advantage of this easy access.
After 9/11/01 the quick visa approval slowed. It was also a prudent policy to approve fewer foreign students from certain segments of the world after 9/11 (as it would have been before), but it is a policy that seems to have come to an end.
In 2003 I wrote an Op Ed (What is wrong with Foreign Student Visas?) warning that the student visa program offers an easy access to our shoes for faux students who are really terrorists seeking an unguarded entry. In 2004, according to Stephen Schwartz of the Weekly Standard, only about 1,000 visas were granted to Saudi men wishing to attend an American University as a result of our government's 9/11 heightened concern.
But, that number could climb to as much as 10,000 Saudi students in the 2006/2007 fall semester. And that climb is being blessed by a Bush administration initiative to increase the number of Saudi men approved for these student visas.
How soon we forget.
15 of the 19 barbaric, murderers that hijacked planes and destroyed the World Trade Center and other targets were Saudi citizens and these extremists were driven by the official religion that is still to this day sponsored by that very same Saudi government; Wahhabism.
And now Bush wants to give the go ahead for 10,000 more people driven by the evil of Wahhabism to come to our shores? He wants to roll out the red carpet and hand them an education at the best schools we have, schools that are out of the reach of most of our own citizens?
The Saudis hope it will be even more than 10,000.
Nail Al-Jubeir, spokesman for the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington, D.C., said the leaders of the two nations are committed to reversing the recent trend of Saudi students staying out of the United States.As Schwartz notes, the Saudis have a singular failure in their educational system as it is geared to dispense an indoctrination into Wahhabism as opposed to any useful knowledge. And that is why the Saudis want to send their young men to our Universities. Theirs are unsuitable to the task.
"Hopefully, the goal is to get something like 20,000 in the United States in all fields," Al-Jubeir said.
So, what is the Bush administration's policy, why would they throw open the doors for 10,000 young men trained all their lives to hate everything this country stands for?
The Bush administration's idea is the kind of feels-good, empty multiculturalism that has opened the west up to these kinds of attacks in the first place. Apparently, the plan is to open the doors wide for these Wahhabi infused students to give them an introduction to "American values". It is those same values, we seem to need reminding of, those that the 15 Saudis that perpetrated 9/11 were here to destroy, the American values that the hijackers were taught to hate in the same schools in which the 10,000 to 20,000 students the Bush administration is suddenly warming to were also taught.
And we are about to let them flood into our country to bring that hatred with them at our invitation?
It is nonsensical at best and suicidal at worst.
As the Democrats in Congress who are advocating a cut and run strategy in the Global War on Terrorism reveal, too many Americans have already blanked the horrible morning of 9/11/01 out of their memories. Now, even the Bush administration is sponsoring a policy to allow many hundreds more times those 19 terrorists into our country in the guise of "students". Even if that worry is somehow overblown or absurd to some, Bush is opening wide the doors of our Universities to people who have been brought up on a state sponsored program of hatred for the USA.
The question can only be, why? Why be so quick to such suicidal policies?
This is just one more example of why the west could possibly loose this war against Islamofascism.
I believe Bush and the rest of DC just use the Saudi money to enable their true goal.
That is the destruction of the USA in order to bring about the new world order.
10,000 less American students attending college.
my how we like to give away possibilities for our own citizens.
Will you stop this thinking and making sense! You're ruining a prefectly fine bash the Saudis thread for everyone.
Then we need to start teaching them in preschool not college. They will never join the modern world unless by force.
Ann Coulter had it right from the beginning. Conquer them and convert them to Christianity.
It's no secret that he sees the problems as they are, but instead of making the obvious fixes to solve the problem, he applies grandiose political half measures, which have their roots in liberal thought, in order to change the outcome of the situation.
This is the reason why things are going so lousy in Iraq. Instead of dealing with the insurgent problem, he chose to ignore it, thinking the Iraqis would eventually drive them out, because they would prefer us to them, when in fact we should have been bombing Tehran and Damascus every time we saw the insurgents coming over the border.
Most Americans can see this, and therefore dislike and distrust him when it comes to leading this nation in war.
But with that said, I still prefer him over anything else the Democrats have been trotting out as leaders.
I got no problem with this.

Islam in it's original form is a bad joke to play on the modern wold.

"Stupid, greedy, corrupt politicians will be the death of America, and a whole lot of Americans!!"
I agree.
I have a feeling that the request/demand for our surrender will come in the form of a letter to the sitting president at the time. Compliance will be granted immediately in order to avoid death and destruction to U.S. citizens.
Is Bush an idiot or a puppet, or both? I say he is a puppet to his masters, the Globalists (Socialists), CFR, Trilateral Commission, NWO etc.
Watch closely during the next presidential address and I swear you can actually see the strings.
Funny that we haven't seen any of the Bush-Bots chime in as of yet?
Don't these RICH countries have any decent schools??? I just don't get it.
Your experience with Iranian students was very different from ours in the late seventies. They were very friendly and fairly social.
The senior leadership of both parties believes too many things which are not true.
The central fallacy of the post-1945 world, domestically and abroad, is that all people are basically the same, or, that "it's a small world after all".
Really? That's a first. I've had discussions here in the past with others who agreed the Iranians at their colleges were just as hate-filled at being here as my experience.
Amen
The End is Near.
Coopt with guys like Khalilzad and punish guys like Ahmadinejad. Cold war won't work. MAD won't work. They'll just build their terror WMDS and smash into us without regard to consequences.
I know daddy Bush was into that nwo stuff. He is also a member of the illuminati, along with some other president I won't mention who came after him. Hmmmm....
Here now is the crop of "ignorance gone to seed", that was planted by liberal thought from generations ago.
We are now witnessing the harvest in the corruption of thought which has infected those in both parties of our nation, and there is no political party, that cares about the wellbeing of people within our own nation any longer. Oh sure they talk up their phony concerns well enough, because it gets the voters to the booth. But the crumbs they spread around are only a means of soothing the savages, so as to keep them in line. ( no one does this better than the Democrats!)
It appears that America's politicians are consumed with being world famous,and loved, as they so willingly display greater concern for the people of other nations, rather than elevating and providing for those of our own.
There is another Revolution coming in America, and they will have perpetuated it!
