Why didn't this "presidential envoy" warn the Americans in the Kingdom?

He did. The State Department even broadcast the May 1st warning.

Warnings were given to ALL Americans in the middle east. Particulary Saudi Arabia.......

It is my understanding these were civilians, not military personnel, who were attacked. Many under personal contract to Princes and other Saudi companies.

I may be wrong but I think they were warned-"in the Kingdom."

[Southack]

"His Riyadh visit came after the State Department issued a May 1 warning for Americans to put off nonessential travel to Saudi Arabia because "information indicates that terrorist groups may be in the final phases of planning attacks against U.S. interests in Saudi Arabia."

It was in the begining of the article, fyi.

Two articles to tell us how and why Binny hates us.

How George Bush , the father,through Carlyle Group owned most of VINNELL until 1997.

If Vinnell was training the Saudi National Guard,why couldnt it protect itself?

The truth is any American has alwyas been warned, their is a permanent travel advisory to practically the entire region. ALso, the only way to really WARN people is if they visit the embassy, which doesnt happen too often. I am pretty upset that with the specific threat warnings that the Saudi's did not elevat their security status or alert level, no beefed up patrols, nothing. Why? Also why is it that terrorists keep conviently knowing when to run?..dam saudi rats
