Also in the new update for Monday (very long)..
Saudis will hold an oil boycott with Venezuela if Isreal does not launch new attacks with no major retaliations for bombings within 10 to 14 days.
This will enable the Bush Summit to proceed as planned, embargo to be postponed after the Bush-Abdullah talks at the ranch later this month.
Saudi Arabia has disconnected all the US equipment from the Prince Sultan air base east of Ridayh boxed it up and dumped in the desert.
They believe that the U.S. can monitor their army and Air Force movements from a 'back door' in the control equipment.

Debka is intelligence and it takes time to ferment like a fine wine - you've become a news chaser and analytical in your thinking. You react rather than evaluate... You have become your own worst enemy - an American who is used to being told the news rather than one who would invest the time and energy to understand. NOT BEING PERSONAL, BUT INTELLIGENCE/PLANNING TAKES TIME AND IS NOT PERCISE.

True. If this story is true, it could be the Saudi's own equipment they ditched. Remember, they were footing the entire bill for US defense of their country after Desert Storm. If it was American equipment, it was most likely items that weren't worth us hauling out of the country by air. I can't give anymore details on this.
To: codebreaker
I hope this story is untrue, because if it isn't, the Saudi's have just committed suicide. They have far more to lose than we do.

It contains a buried missle launch site for hasty exits. Landings however haven't been perfected yet.

Ah, just having some fun with language. I thought you might be channelling Hirohito.
Imagine Japan on August 14th, 1945. Her once-powerful Navy is destroyed. Many of her once-great cities are in ruins. Her industrial might is a fraction of what it used to be. A blockade is strangling her supplies of food and fuel. Two cities have been flattened by ONE bomb apiece.
And Hirohito opens his surrender speech as follows: "The war situation has developed not necessarily to Japan's advantage."

No, I knew that, I didn't say they were going to the very same place, but that each was planning to get away from the chaos in his own country and sit it out in a resort.
The Emir, this shows, was in Ta'if --a mountain resort near Mecca, and then later in England as you say.
