The Saudi government is a farce when it comes to fighting terroism. Actually, I think the Saudi government/royal family is a co-conspirator.

Actually, I think the Saudi government/royal family is a co-conspirator.

The Saudi government is really the Saudi Royal family, which is divided into factions. The current ruling faction wants the Americans there, other factions want them gone

I have a strong feeling that the reason that three out of four of the terrorists "escaped" is that they were people who could not be touched -- such as sons of Saudi Princes

I agree. Saudi Arabia supports, indoctrinates, harbors, and encourages terrorism--when speaking in Arabic. When they talk English, they denounce terrorists, but only because they don't want to find their way to the list of nations sponsoring terrorism, on which they definitely belong.

Could this be an oil-related issue? Let's replace Alaska for Saudi Arabia on the OPEC list. And let's undo those Acts of Congress that effectively or explicitly prohibit oil exploration and extraction in 98% of the Last Frontier. Perhaps in ordinary times, the value of unmolested habitat for the porcupine caribou and whatever other species may live there might be sufficient to outweigh the cost of oil rigs in the frigid tundra of the North Slope.

But these are not ordinary times; we must separate our energy issues from the scourge of terrorism and deny our enemies the funds that they now raise by selling us oil. That's right: I'm calling for an all-out economic boycott on our terrorist enemy, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

One of these years, we will have to liberate Saudi Arabia from the House of al-Saud. Let the Saudi royals and terrorists incur the wrath of the American soldier and Marine. As the Iraqi Republican Guard knows all too well, it's not exactly a desirable place to be.
