Hillary Clinton memo highlights Gulf states' failure to block funding for groups like al-Qaida, Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiba
Saudi Arabia is the world's largest source of funds for Islamist militant groups such as the Afghan Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiba but the Saudi government is reluctant to stem the flow of money, according to Hillary Clinton.
"More needs to be done since Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaida, the Taliban, LeT and other terrorist groups," says a secret December 2009 paper signed by the US secretary of state. Her memo urged US diplomats to redouble their efforts to stop Gulf money reaching extremists in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Well, well.
Wow total shock there. Man who would have guessed that? Especially when you look at the tolerance they have for other religions.
I am shocked! s/
Saudis aiding terrorism? I’m shocked I tell you, shocked!
One thing and one thing only which we could do to fix this: Get the United States out of the oil market ASAP: develop every energy source available to us, move the world towards a thorium/supercapacitor economy, and put the new IC engines on a war footing for whatever unavoidable use of IC engines remains. By that last item I mean that AngelLabs engine and the Ecomotors OPOC engine.
We knew that before the leaks...
Yup. Which makes me wonder what Assange is sitting on...
So. Nuke Riyadh now, and we can reset the DHS security level to Green.
my thoughts too. Directional drilling baby all the way.
Yes, we did.
The question is, when will HRC resign?
Hillary said WHAT?
We should not allow the Saudi financing of any more mosques in US.
Pound for pound...for every single “leak”...we knew fifty percent of the Wiki-dope before Julian ever took the package. The Saudis may be shocked that we know the inside angle to their schemes...and that might be interesting to watch play out over the next year.
Next, the leakies will be telling us that the Yemenis harbor terrorists — as if we didn’t already know that.
Yemenis harbor terrorists it could not happen there too. That is just to far out to believe.
Gee, many of us realized this all along before we went to “war” in order to kill them over there so we wont have to kill them over here, all the while the feds are importing muzzies by the tens of thousands and ignoring the fact that saudi arabia funds schools as well as terror attacks with the money we give them for their oil.
The US gov.con lies about everything while enslaving we the people
