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.
"Donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide," she said.

Which makes me wonder about the purpose of this release. Is it to establish that Assange has actually got the goods? Or has the admin already done a deal with Assange, and this release of the obvious is just to obfuscate the admin submitting to blackmail?
>>>The question is, when will HRC resign?
Never.
If she were still in the Senate, and this leak had come in the Bush administration, she’d be leading the charge for ousting the entire administration.
my personal opinion....we should not allow ANY mosque to be build from this day forward. I realize this is not the prevailing view of our elected. There must be a time where all mosques are suspended and perhaps that may need to be permanent. I quake when I see our president (little p) when I see him with these people in SA. These people need to be placed on notice. The planning continues, by these people, to harm Americans. I could become enraged by this fact. These people are so evil, wanting to kill Americans, and we continue to bow to them. I can only shake my head in disbelief. The last five sentences, including this sentence, I believe to be more than a personal opinion.
Nuclear is the answer - one way or another.
If we don't have leaders with enough spine to Nuke Riyadh (we don't and never will) we could at least demand they build nuclear power plants to provide low cost power to help wean America off foreign oil.
Thats how they stay in power. The House of Saud funds the terrorists as payola to keep them from taking over Saudi Arabia.
well, lets not do something dumb like sell them $60-billion in arms....
oh, wait...
Ben, I know you have noticed how low 0 is in this photo. He has made himself lower than anyone in the room. Are there others (pics) of our leaders doing the same? Being lower than anyone else in the room? This is a form of submissiveness to All who are in that room. This is disturbing. Submissiveness causes people to die, in this animal kingdom in which humans live.
Ex-CIA apostate Richard Baehr wrote “Sleeping with the Enemy” in ‘03 anticipating the terrorists taking out the Saudi oil infrastructure but they never went through with it. They could have done it easily enough but why kill their golden goose?

Yep. Somebody does not want Hillary to run for POTUS.
Only a black man with the race card can escape scandal up until now.
Obama’s race card won’t work anymore and Hillary is political toast. Good news for our country.
I fear the clean up of corruption will be too big. It has gotten way out of control.
Are ye fookin’ kidding?!? The Washington establishment is bought and paid for by the Saudis. “You take care of us now and we take care of you later” is the unofficial Saudi motto to Yanqui pols, diplos and bureaucrats. The State Dept. is owned lock, stock and barrel by them.
Serve them well now and you will be guaranteed sweet, sweet bennies when you retire. Consultancies, contracts and advisory positions with the multitudinous think tanks, scholarly institutes, lobbying shops, councils and associations funded by the perfidious princes exist to feather the nests of their faithful servants.
This thread has proof that BO is directly linked to WikiLeaks.

Our entire government is rife with dismal mismanagement and badly needs a total reforming. Getting Christianity back into every department would go a long way. Maybe then we could bring the Constitution to the forefront.
And meanwhile, the Saudis are pushing the USA to go to war with Iran.
Why do I feel that George Bush got played by the Saudis into doing their bidding in Iraq?
Three other Arab countries are listed as sources of militant money: Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.
Ever get one of those headaches?
RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, WikiLeaks did not “leak” anything. I don’t know who leaked it, but since there’s no mention of Obama and his administration, the regime, in any of these tens of thousands of documents, I’d have to say somebody in the regime leaked ‘em. But WikiLeaks did not leak ‘em. They just published ‘em. WikiLeaks is just a sponge, a useful idiot sitting there over in the UK and some disgruntled military guy in Afghanistan somehow has access to all of this and hands it over. ...
“.....Isn’t it amazing that 91,000 secret documents have been published and not one of them mentions the Obama regime? Not one! ......”
RUSH: “....Obama clearly is not acting upset about it because the perception is it hurts America, and you got enough diplomats saying, “This is very devastating to American foreign policy,” which is the Obama idea. So in that sense he even likes it. There’s Eric Holder out there, this incompetent guy threatening to bring him up on charges. Big deal. We know that will never happen. Holder is still trying to secure a trial for the grand sheik mastermind of 9/11.”

Good to see reality dawn on one previously clueless Leftist: hillary!
Sarkozy is look way down, too far down for a bow and his eyes seem trained on something. I think Odungo kissed his hand. I don’t think it was just a bow.
