Me: 17 of the 19 Islamikazes were Saudi Arabian

You: Are you sure? One could think that they were from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Me: I'm pretty sure I heard that right. I could be wrong but I don't think I am. In any event, Saudi Arabia is knee-deep in terrorist funding.

Is Prince Abdullah really pro-western or just pretending.
Some other reports have made him the anti_American more than the other 'Sudeiri' faction composed of Ambassador Bandar.

EIther way, Saudis attended the recent missile tests conducted by Pakistan. Also in attendance were North Koreans and Chinese.

I've seen a few saudi females and camels look good comparatively.

For quite awhile I have thought this is the eventual outcome if any of these poophole countries side with Iraq when crap hits the fan. Let's see how long Damascus stands if Syria attacks Israel. Etc. Etc. I'm rooting for it to happen. Take out a large portion of the Egyptians and eliminate the need for U.S. economic aid.

>>Let the wahabbis have Mecca and all the sand<<

Well, I agree about the sand.

The Hejaz, I would return to the Hashemites. The oilfields should be internationalized.

Isreal is our only ally in that area. Saudi Arabia is our ally only when they need help or when it suits them.

The Sudanese have Aggies, too??? ;>)

...Saudi security forces recently foiled an al-Qaeda plot directed at downing an American military plane. The attempt, led by a Sudanese citizen, involved the use of air-to-surface missiles ...

Saudi Arabia has been a breeding ground for Sunni radicalism since 1902...

During the 1980s, the Saudi royals undertook another major effort to redirect political dissent: They financed thousands of their most politically challenging citizens, including Osama bin Laden, to wage jihad in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union, and after the Soviet defeat, against other infidels.

The whole problem is the House of Saud. They are loonies and have nursed the very snakes that are now biting them and us.

[Dixie republican]

The Saudis are opposed to us taking iraq because they're afraid of our imminent independance from their oil.
