Well, well...looks like the Saudis did indeed start to crackdown. Now let's see if they cowboy up and finish this or if they punk out.
Eitherway...

Turning on their benefactors... Kinda like kids. Upon reaching that awkward, geeky, adolescent stage, they either continue to welcome your support and insight, or they turn and go to the dark side of the force. Oh well, let the games begin!

Hmmm so much for the "he/they couldn't lead six ducks across the street". The House of Saud want Americans out by when?

I'll bet GWB, Cheney and Rummy are saying "I love it when a plan comes together" right about now.

Looking forward to a lot of Wahhabi Islamofascist/kazi heads on pikes decorating the main road of Saudi Land.

"These guys are now attacking their main source of funding! "Not only that, every time Al Quaeda issues a warning, they are now advertising to the clerics, that the Saudis are likely to kill them if they continue siding with Al Quaeda.
Nice! I think Al Quaeda is plasted.

Every time I direct someone to FR, I have to explain in advance that he will see references to showers, hugh and series news stories, dumbies, etc. These things crack me up when I read them, but I wonder how many newbies are wondering if we're some kind of elite club with code language only "members" understand. (Now that I think of it, I believe there was a thread devoted to this subject quite a while ago).
This isn't a flame, Rintense. Just some rambling thoughts. I love all the funny stuff that goes on here! I wonder if there should be a permanent link to all of the "inside" jokes we run across here all the time.

Most likely the CIA has been active in S.A. since the end of the Iraq takeover.
IMO, that is the deal that the president and the RULING S.A. royals back in Crawford last year.

The incredible part is now Linda Vestser says 'series'--on air-- on FOX News like we do!!
The home viewers without a computer must be completely befuddled.

Aren't you sick of it already? I find it to be infantile. How many times can 'vey', 'hugh', 'series', etc. be funny? At this point, these phrases are placeholders where ideally, actual wit would be.

Well, I hope you didn't spill the beans to the newbies about AYBABTU. Because that's what really separates the elites from the illits. Can't read your answer, I'm in the shower, now.
