WASHINGTON - On Aug. 20, 2001, Saleh Ibn Abdul Rahman Hussayen, a man who would soon be named a minister of the Saudi government and put in charge of its two holy mosques, arrived in the United States to meet with some of this country's most influential fundamentalist Sunni Muslim leaders.

I was under the impression that instigating a big US/SA conflict was one of the main reasons why Bin Laden selected so many Saudis for the 9/11 mission. Originally it mostly Egyptians iirc.

that I would classify as apolitical will, in passing, mention and acknowledge Saudi involvement in terrorism directed aginst the U.S,I

I agree, but would really like to know what our government is doing about? After all if the avg Joe has figured this out, I'm sure the government has.

As Mel Gibson said in his movie The Patriot.This war will not be fought on the frontier.It will be fought in our towns and cities,our children will learn of it with their own eyes.

What's to worry? President Bush rattles on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on that "Islam is a religion of piece."

Crapola !!! Islam is a devilish cult of pieces -- fingers, hands, toes, feet, arms, legs, eyes, ears, noses, heads, and off and off and off and off and off and off and off . . . !!!

"I agree, but would really like to know what our government is doing about? After all if the avg Joe has figured this out, I'm sure the government has."

From everything I've read, on Free Republic alone, since 9/11?

Iraq alone would fill pages.

Oil still continues to be the central issue. I remember one commentary by one of the national syndicated pundits mentioning how America now "has their hand on the spigot of Iraqi oil production" in regard to countering the Saudi stranglehold on our oil supply, in a bid to coerce the Saudis to stop the spread of Wahabbi inspired militant Islam directed against the US. It'll be sometime before we see if that works.

Bush's pushing the "road map" on Israel in a bid to placate and "reward" the "moderate" Muslim states for not interfering in the Iraqi war, another bid to undermine the justification of Islamic extremists in Saudi Arabia which area threat to the status quo in that country.

Bush's recess appointment of Prof. Daniel Pipes to the USIP (his bid to undermine militant Islam from the inside by pushing the moderates in the Arabic social arenas) is another aspect of the Bush tack, dealing with the Saudis.

Our government is doing a lot, but surely not enough to interrupt the flow of oil, upset the balance of power in Saudi Arabia, or destabilize the region any further.

Do a lot of people disagree with some current policies of the Bush Administration in the Middle East, especially concerning Saudi Arabia and their sponsership of global terrorism? Sure. But like I have said before, Bush is under a lot of pressure from myriad forces and competing groups in the domestic/international arena, most discussed in great detail every day here at FR. The Saudis are just one small aspect of a huge overall picture in the war that hopefully Bush has the skill and continued support to execute successfully.

I've been watching it pretty closely since 9/11 and it continues to be a huge pea-soup of a rat's nest to me. I still think Bush was the right man at the right time in the middle of this.

>>>its implication is dire.

Indeed. Hyperbole aside, that would be an understatement.

The American people are ahead of him on this issue.

This failure to confront and call the Saudis for what they are is debilitating to the country, the world, and the WoT.

If we don't go after the principal financiers of Jihad......
