Right now the DEBKA Saudi military/air base stuff is Hebrew subscriber only..

[AppyPappy]

DEBKA is a random story generator

[MoJo2001]

Can someone explain to me what the importance of Debka is? Or what weight of relevance do they have to offer that keeps their articles posted on here?? I'm just curious. I've heard of Debka, but I was never really sure what their point was.

[babygene]

I would sure hope we have a back door. I would also hope we have the ability to disable electronics in military hardware we sell the bastards...

[Dog Gone]

I thought Debka had just assured us that Abdullah was refusing to meet with Bush. I guess this is as close to a retraction as we'll see from this pathetic source.

[Texaggie79]

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.

HUH

[Rokke]

This is absolute, complete, B.S.. Prince Sultan Air Base is still (unfortunately) being used by the U.S. and its allies in the same manner it has been for the last 10 years. Debka continues its nearly perfect record for getting everything wrong.

[Imal]

The DEBKA track record, based on what I've been reading from them, seems a bit spotty. Some corroboration would be nice.

On the other hand, I suppose, as with the Drudge Report, if you want news from the bleeding edge, you should be prepared to take it cum grano salis.

Regardless of the accuracy of the story, as far as I'm concerned, the Saudis can pound sand - and return to their ancestor's pre-oil ways of roaming the desert, living it tents and humping cammels.

[dinok]

Hey...the Saudis are our friends...who cares if they fund Arafat's human bombs and Bin Laden's network. But Powel and GW love them...

DEBKA SOURCE

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

They believe that the U.S. can monitor their army and Air Force movements from a 'back door' in the control equipment.

EVEN if it were true we can watch them without even being there what a bunch of maroooons

[Nuke'm Glowing]

Dear Saudi,

Guess the f*** what:

Mexican,Russian and Alaskan oil burns just the same in my SUV. Enjoy sucking dirt and sand you camel dung nation. Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention, if any of your alleged "airline pilot trainees" are on any of my flights, they will meet 'ALLAH' before the landing they intended.

Sincerely
A newly anti-facistsaudi AMERICAN

[dalebert]

I think we still have people operating that equipment.

[teeman8r]

hey, the abdula station on my dish went out? anyone else having trouble getting as the saudi arabia turns?

[McGavin999]

Ah, but the Saudis don't understand that the equipment does not have to be connected to monitor them. Even if they broke it into a million pieces, the parts that do the monitoring are so minute that they will likely survive. ;o)

[crystalk]

This is just a Hebrew translation problem. What this says is, that Saudi Arabia and Venezuela will HOLD OFF ON, NOT JOIN IN, any OPEC or other Arab oil embargo that might be started in that period...

As long as there is no new escalation of Israel's anti-PA activities or any renewed entry into PA areas...

I take it the period in question is from now to May 15, give or take.

What is far more important is what it says about Abdullah II. It says that he has had virtually everything including the crown jewels sent to Europe for safekeeping. Like Kuwait's emir during Desert Storm, he apparently plans to sit out this in a resort like Sharm-el-Sheikh while all hell breaks loose on his subjects and kingdom.

[brat]

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.

[prophetic]

was it the property of the USA or was it just equipment they bought from the USA?
