Jerusalem — Saudi Arabia has been identified as the source of the growing Islamization in the U.S. military.
A leading analyst asserted that Saudi Arabia spent millions of dollars in its effort to convert U.S. soldiers to Islam. Dr. Gal Luft, co-director of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security in Washington, said the campaign pioneered by the Saudis began during the 1991 war against Iraq, which involved the deployment of nearly 500,000 U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia.
"Nearly two decades have passed since the Saudi conversion campaign, and most of the converts may no longer be in uniforms," Dr. Luft said.

This story should be on the front page of every major newspaper in the United States.
The Saudis are invisible in America. The Swishy Sheikhs of Araby have us by the proverbial financial short hairs.
Their largesse makes riding the Saudi Gravy Train all but irresistible.
Politicians wilful ignorance of the machinations of the Tragic Kingdom ensure the spilling of not only infidel, but fellow Muslim blood far into the future.
Another exhaustive, depressing piece.

IMHO, this is why energy independence is a matter of national security.
If we never get off of their oil and confront them and their Mosques of hate across America, we will eventually lose.
The issue of energy independence is one of endless pontifications and political correctness since we refuse to do anything meaningful about it - US Coal, Offshore/Onshore Drillinig, Nuclear Generation, instead focus on feelgood technologies that MAY pay off decades in the future.
Wind and Sun are not going to power the US or China or India.
They are more statements of intent and wishful thinking for now.
In the meantime, politicians, on the take from the Saudis via a variety of means, keep fooling the people with their rhetoric while the Gravy Train keeps chugging on.
When I speak of energy independence, I mean nuclear, US oil (off shore & on-shore),opening Anwar, US coal & natural gas.
Conceptually solar power is appealing, but it is my understanding, that the technology has a long way to be viable.
(Of course, it would be wonderfully ironic if an American (not global) company made a break through in solar so that it became cheaper than oil.)
It wasn't a fluke that so many of the 9/11 killers were Saudis...
