Breaking news November 23, 2002. The Saudis 'got a lot of 'splaining to do ....'

The corruption of S.A. and its dissolute 'Princes' knows no bounds .... They worship 'Allah,' while binge drinking the finest cognacs and engaging in wild sex orgies. Men, women, boys, underage girls, dogs, goats, sheep .... and tons of cocaine and hashish, and all sort of other illegal drugs.

Would love to have a video spy camera of the goings on in their American residences and private jets. Total corruption opens them to bribery by UBL. Typical Saudi arrogance and threats have kept the U.S. quiet .... No Longer !

I go out on the limb and say that if Bush and Co. don't bring a swift end to the Saudi vermon a.s.a.p., then this war on terror is a joke.

Saudi Arabia - both the House of Saud and their crazed Wahabbist populace - makes the "axis of evil" look almost innocuous (to overstate the matter only slightly).

Our short-term plans for the war on terror are clear and rational enough, but if our long-term plans don't include the complete severing of relations with Saudi Arabia, then I agree with you that the WOT is a complete joke. They are the biggest terrorist finanacers on the face of the earth, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if their dirty fingerprints were all over 9/11 (aside from the fact that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi citizens).

Is this BANDAR'S wife? The thing is, the wahhabist clerics are the ones who said they would support the House of Saud as long as the wahhabists were kept in power. Perhaps it's time for that alliance to end.

Until such time as we are independent of foreign oil, we have to play nice with these dirtbags. As my father always said, "If you play with a turd, you'll get $h!+ on you."

Support research on fuel cells, solar, and biomass.

The Bush administration added a list of 13 more nations whose citizens we would monitor when in our country, in addition to Iran, Iraq, and North Korea. Afghanistan, Sudan, and Syria made the cut. Saudi Arabia did not however. Bush is an oil man, his dad was an oilman, his great grandfather was involved with oil. A Saudi Prince could have wired the money directly to the hijackers, and we would be just calling him a rogue.

Why should we even bother anymore? Unless the oil dries up in Saudi Arabia, they do not support terrorism.

Do you remember what Mayor Guliani refused the Saudi's millions in the wake of 9-11? He threw their 40 pieces of silver back in their face.

I remember a Democrat begged for their blood money. I wonder if she got it.

The fbi pursue saudi?

One terrorist organization pursuing another?

This makes no sense.

Maybe they'll find a spontaneous center bank account explosion that spewed cash everywhere.

This is what you will hear Monday at Noon from Ari Fleischer: 'Saudi Arabia continues to be an allie in the war on terror and these reports are just not true. We have a great relationship with the people of Saudi Arabia and will continue to do so as time goes on"

Scripted B.S. from the White House as usual. They do not want to piss them off at all and at this point.

The daughter of the King, who happens to be the wife of the US Ambassador from Saudi Arabia was funneling $3,500 a month to 9-11 terrorists. Not only do we not do squat, the Bush administration doesn't even kick them out of the country. Or does diplomatic immunity include financing 9-11?

Nope. That was Cynthia McKinney-D who was defeated in the congressional run-off.

I forgave Rudy an awful lot when he did that. As Magnificent Gestures go, that one has to be in the all-time Top 5.

I still remember the FOX crawler from that day: "Rudy tells Saudi Prince where to put $10,000,000 check"... I remember a Democrat begged for their blood money. I wonder if she got it.

That was Cynthia McKinney, late of Georgia. Not only did she NOT get the money, she also did NOT get re-elected. Couldn't even win her primary race.

Hydrogen Fuel Cells are what is needed. Then we could tell all the Arabs and Islamists to *f*** off!

Hydrogen Fuel Cells Are Moving Ahead as Power Source

It's far cheaper and cleaner to burn than oil. Easier on the machinery, too.

I'm starting the think the BUsh Administration is a wholly owned subservient subsidiary of the Saudis.

Saudi cash in US 'aid to terrorists'

By Rupert Cornwell
24 November 2002
Independent (UK)

Money sent by the Saudi government to the United States may have found its way to two of the 11 September hijackers. The money may have originated with the government in Riyadh. According to Newsweek magazine, the FBI is investigating to find out whether the Washington bank account of the wife of the Saudi ambassador was used to channel the funds to intermediaries – two Saudi students who were living in San Diego.

The money was apparently used to help al-Hamzi and al-Midhar pay their rent.

US officials say there is no proof the Saudi government was involved, and that the dispatch of funds to help Saudi students is common practice.

But the affair will only deepen suspicion here of Saudi Arabia, 15 of whose citizens were among the 19 hijackers.

Privately, Bush administration officials complain of a lack of help from Riyadh over 11 September, and of its continued funding of radical Muslim groups. Many commentators go further, openly wondering whether Saudi Arabia is a friend or foe of the US.(Me too!)

3,000 dead, $3,500 a month. I would love to hear some of the Bush "he is so dreamy" fan club come here to spin this one.

There would be pitchforks heading to Washington if Clinton tried to cover up the princess' money funneled to terrorists that killed 3,000 americans.

I suppose this is just good strategery. This makes me physically ill.

If this was Clinton, we'd be asking for impeachment proceedings by now.
