I'm SHOCKED! SHOCKED!

[RaceBannon]

The Saudis are our friends...

Actually, I would bet the King and such like us because we give them money, and they want more of it. But, the lower classes, they hate us.

It is like if we have a president who likes the Chinese and their money, but the people of the country hate that president, and want to kick out the Chinese...not that anyone would understand that point...

[cardinal4]

Must be a mistake. The Saudis and their government are our allies in the war on terror../sarcasm off

[Teetop]

"Saudi authorities are investigating suspected illegal arms sales by members of the country's national guard to al Qaeda operatives in the country, U.S. and Saudi officials said."

Simply amazing! Effin morons....

That's what they get for "cowing" down to them for so long!

[Dialup Llama]

This is why the Saudis do not want the FBI to be part of the investigation. The FBI will find out that Saudi= Al Queda.

[WarEagle]

The officials emphasized that the motivation of the officers selling the weapons was money, not ideology, and does not indicate any al Qaeda penetration of a force that is supposed to protect the government.

And Osama yo Mama is from Iraq, right?

Of course, they're going to say it's all for money. Yet the mullahs preach to the National Guard, too. Why should they be exempt from the frenzy of hatred?

The devastating bombs have generated not only revulsion among many Saudis but something once unthinkable, the questioning of the country's strict religious environment and whether it inspires -- intentionally or not -- Islamic-driven violence.

Well, DUH! Mullahs constantly preaching holy jihad and death to all infidels and polytheists (Westerners and non-Wahhabis) only cause peace and love. Everybody knows that.

Nayef said today that he saw no change in the future role of the religious police when asked about their standing after the bombings. He said separating "religion and life" in the kingdom was "unthinkable."

Translated, we need these violent, snot blowing mullahs to help us control the great unwashed and keep this wonderful gig we have. They have to live on $8000 a year in this sand covered hellhole, and we get to summer on the French Riviera.

I thought the great Washington Post was supposed to ask questions and get to the "TRUTH". Looks like this reporter swallowed some big time BS whole.

"Saudi Military Arms Al Qaeda" (An equally accurate title)

[philetus]

To say religion pervades every aspect of life in Saudi Arabia is an understatement. The mostly desert kingdom on the Arabian Peninsula was the birthplace of the Prophet Mohammed and is home to the two holiest mosques in Islam.



Saudi Arabia is governed by sharia, or Islamic law, which means its rules, regulations and laws are based on the Koran and the sunna, the spoken and acted example of Mohammed. Sharia governs all aspects of public and private, social and economic, religious and political life.

[Congressman Billybob]

So some members of the House of Saud are up to their dress-covered butts in terrorism. This is no surprise. But they have to choose sides NOW. Otherwise, the House of Saud is going to find itself living on the French Riviera, and somebody else will be running Saudi Arabia.

Never meind expecting them to be a "reliable ally for the United States." All we need from them is that they do a competent job of protecting their own jobs. If they do that, finally, they will serve our purposes.

The one advantage of the Saudis is this: If they DO get cracking on Al Qaeda and various other forms of terrorists, they can accomplish two critical tasks. They can cut off the money, and cut off the heads. Both of these are desirable outcomes.

Ping. Read later.

Another group of nineteen, eh? Hmmm...

And four vehicles...?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

This outrage calls for the ULTIMATE sacrifice to to make Arabia safe! Send in the Schumer/Feinstein/Brady clowns!
That'll teach em!

[TheDon]

Has Al Quaeda attacked inside SA before? Is this a change? I thought the SA's paid AQ to leave them alone.

One thing you can say about the recent spat of attacks, they were not on American soil.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

These Saudi bastards are just begging to be made an example of.

[Heff]

The poor Saudi Government must be so embarrassed. (/Sarcasm off)
