Sad to watch. They have turned on their own, they will lose the only friends they may have had left now. Even moderate Arabs will now have to live in fear of their attacks. These attacks no doubt take place because this is the last place where they could pull them off. It was alos the last place to want American help against terrorism, that may change now. It is a desperate action in the least.

My sympathy goes out to the Saudis who have now been touched by terrorism.

That isn't a TIVO by chance?

I am a big fan of the TIVO!

"Sad to watch. They have turned on their own"


I'm not sure they simply turned on their own..... there were "American Interests" there.......

I think all americans should leave the country. Period. If it becomes another Iraq and a REAL terrorist state, then we take care of it as a country, like we did in Iraq,,,,,,,

But we can do that while we're working with them, even in civilian capacities.

Exactly what I was thinking.
Bad for the Saudis, but good in that we are being effective.
IMHO AQ is running scared. Their big puff-up the other day about US intelligence was key- it was a Bagdad Bobism for sure.

"Even moderate Arabs will now have to live in fear of their attacks."

I doubt it. Everyone knows that "Westerners" are the targets of their attacks. Arabs won't have anything to fear until it goes beyond Westerners. The first three attacks were on occupied Western compounds, where people were present. The fourth attack was on a joint Saudi-US owned company, where no people were present because it was 1:00 am. So the fourth attack sends a message, but doesn't harm many (if any) people physically.
