I came to the conclusion early on that Al Qaeda, and Bin Ladin, and all of his guerrilla movements from Central Asia to the Philippines, were simply the visible effects of Saudi intel operations.

But as time goes along, and as more information becomes available, the full reality is starting to raise the hair on the back of my neck. Some of our rowdy friends here have been calling for an attack on Riyadh for some time. I am starting to arrive at the same conclusion.

We have been addressing the Saudi connection by simply trying to close subversive bank accounts, which, Saudi banking secrecy being what it is, we will never be able know if we are successful or not. And, anyway, we are talking about Royal banking accounts here. Fat chance closing them without some armed muscle.

The Saudis involved in financing the Wahabis have names we know, and many of them start with "S". In the aftermath of the victory parade in Baghdad, we need to be seizing these people's bank accounts. Oil fields too, if necessary. You know the old saying, to kill a snake, you have to cut off the snake's money.

Those American statesmen who also have Saudi bank accounts need to start preparing for a post Saudi future. Be a shame for retired presidents to have their banking habits made public. Of course, most of them have enough on each other to make sure no one shoots off his mouth. Still, they should be finding another safe haven for their money.

"S"

Mysterious you!

BTW, the Georgians aren't much inclined to sympathize with Russia's pleas to help them maintain their territorial integrity since they have the same problem with Russia in Abkhazia and couple other areas.

They got paid off, for sure. But then the Second Chechen War came, and took on a religious Wahhabi overtone. And that pipeline money is good too.
