(Saudi) Crown Prince Sends Message To America

Saudi Embassy ^ | 10 September 2002 | Saudi Crown Prince

[Grampa Dave]

I don't know if this has been posted or not.

It is seems to be a step in the right direction instead of all the Bravo Sierra that has come from the House of Saud since 9/11/01

Very interesting!

[Cold Heat]

It is better, but Muslims still are liars.

[Libertina]

Good sentiments, I appreciate his acknowledgement of the role Saudi citizens played; but do we have to keep using the term "anniversary?"

[Mo1]

Yes it is very interesting

I am wondering .. will the rest of Saudi Arabia read this letter??

[kellynla]

Word is that as soon as we finish the bases we are building in Kuwait we will be bugging out of Saudi Arabia for good. Semper Fi

[white trash redneck]

Good point. I wonder if it's been translated into Arabic.

[Freedom of Speech Wins]

Look a little closer and you see the $ 27 million he donated to the parents of the Palestinian suicide bombers fund that 60 Minutes reported last week.

Wonder if this guy's money went to the Shoe Bomber Richard Reid.

[Mo1]

Don't get me wrong ... It's a nice letter but I can't help but wonder will the rest of their country read this also??

Or is the Crown Prince playing both sides of the fence??

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

It's a good move by the Saudi's rulers!

The Wahhabi's Mullas feel differently of course!

[BossLady]

Hmmmmmm...it all sounds good and well in 'theory'.....

[aynrandfreak]

This was written by their PR firm. Don't fall for it. They were denying that Bin Laden or even any Saudis were responsible for months after it happened.

[Conservababe]

Interesting, yes. The House of Saud is getting a little scared, no?

[hawaiian]

This is a wonderful letter. It's just too bad the Saudis will NEVER let their own people read it.

[Grampa Dave]

So far the heads of the various Islamakazi countries don't have too much of a track record for honesty!

[Vidalia]

THIS is the brain set of the toy-boy Royalty...

Muslims are liars bump.

[Grampa Dave]

I really don't know what to make of this letter.

It is interesting, and the fact that we had AF jets and the UK had jets take off from Saudi Bases last week to provide air cover in that 100 plane attack was very interesting.

Very interesting in that the byline just mentioned that fact as if so what. Up to that time, we had been told no combat missions and not even rescue missions could be flown off of Saudi air bases.

All of this has happened since this prince made his last trip to GW Ranch.

[jedwardtremlett]

It's interesting, and a cause for some hope, but:

"But their evil was turned against them, for all humanity united to fight terrorism,"

We have yet to see the House of Saud pull out all stops to uproot the seeds of terror in their Kingdom. One hand is doing one thing while the other does another, no one's really sure who's in control.

I just hope these words are part and parcel of some forward action on their part.

It is right off of their embassy web site. Go to the link and see. So any SA with a computer and an internet connection can log on and read it.

I don't think that the Sauds censor the net like Iran and Iraq try to.

[Grampa Dave]

I keep hearing that and seeing it.

They might feel a little naked without the Great Satin's air power on those Saudi Bases.
