The Saudi ruling family has kept the region balanced and US-friendly since they took control. Without them history in the region and the world would have been very different.
They have supported and financed every mission asked of them and have condemned bin Laden from the beginning of his hate campaign in the early 90's.
The radicals of 9/11 became radicalized in German and London mosques...not Saudi.
What nationality were most of the hijackers, anyway?
Weren't they Saudis?
The Saudis claimed to have disowned Bin Ladin and al Qaeda, but these were lies.
They were, in fact, continuously supporting them, and continue to support them today.
In fact, the Bin Ladin family continues to do so by its activities in the Boston area.
And Saudi newspapers and networks, along with the people of Saudi Arabia, have entirely endorsed and supported the events of 9/11.
Do you not believe this is true?
And so, yes, Saudi Arabia should have been the nation to declare war against, along with Afghanistan, after September 11.
In fact, the Afghans could claim they did not have the power to purge out the alQaeda scum.
Saudi Arabia is a different story, however.
They have consistently had the money, the intelligence, the infrastructure, and the philosophical high ground (sic) to be the source and the center of radical Islam, and of the events of 9/11.
And I think that us zeroing in on Afghanistan and the handful of creeps in alQuaeda camps there was just ducking the real fight with the real bully, Saudi Arabia.
Deb, this comment is just so hilarious that I just had to repeat it here, like a golden oldie.
