Now we need someone to do the footwork to trace the so-called suburban sniper, Muhammad, back to his funding in Saudi Arabia, which is the funding source for all the evil in the world.

Despite the large number of princes and princesses involved, we should make sure the House of Saud is exterminated without any survivors at all, otherwise we have lost the war on terrorism.

Yeah, but she was just some "rogue". The majority of Saudis (including the Saudi "royals") continue to be our good friends and longtime business associates. Our relationship is one of mutual respect, and historical importance.

...Now excuse me while I go vomit.

Once we gain a semi-permanent geographic presence in the region, Saudi Arabia can be addressed.

As reparations for 11 Sep. 2001, I recommend converting the present sovereign kingdom, to the US Petroleum Territory.

That attack was made by 15 Saudis, and subsequent information reveals substantial financial support, from various sources in Saudia Arabia.

The magnitude of the attack, measured by loss of civilian life, exceeds Pearl Harbor. Facts now assembled are grounds for the US to conquer, and subjegate Saudi Arabia to the fate of "spoils to the victor."

My gut tells me the princess is more involved then just helping a person in need

But from what is in this article there doesn't seem to be enough to nail her for anything

Does this not bother anyone? Bush is friends with these people. I know some people on here will say that Bush is just "acting" like their friend. But I am beginning to really question that. How can we not demand that Bush speak out on all of this? How long will Bush continue to act like they are our friends? I have placed a lot of faith in our President...but all of this information about the Saudi's really makes me question some of the things Bush says. I would like to see some ACTION on this.

Granted, but how many folks in this country are friends-of-friends of not one but two different Al-Qaeda terrorist cells - the 9-11 monsters and this "Dearborn sleeper cell"?

He has his eye on the big picture. First thing in the new congress will be drilling in Alaska. When we don't need them, it will be a lot easier to deal with them.

The Rats may take this and run with it. It would be for their own political advantage, but I'll still cheer them on. Rat Senators Schumer, Lieberman, and Graham have said more this weekend about Saudi Arabia that makes sense than everything we've heard from the administration in the last 14 months.

White House confirms Saudi probe



Checks from princess turned over to students
who aided 9/11 hijackers
Nov. 23 — White House officials said it was too early to draw any conclusions about the investigation, but the disclosure raised new questions about the role Saudi Arabia may have played in the Sept. 11 attacks. NBC's Norah O'Donnell reports.



MSNBC AND NBC NEWS
Nov. 23 — Confirming details of a Newsweek report that has put the Bush administration on the defensive as it seeks Saudi support for a potential attack on Iraq, the White House acknowledged Saturday that the FBI was investigating whether the Saudi government sent tens of thousands of dollars to two Saudi students who aided two of the Sept. 11 hijackers.

I agree and like I said .. my gut tells me she is more involved

But now there needs to be more evidence to nail her .. without it, there isn't much of a case to prove she knew this friend would turn the check over to someone else

And think what their political advantage would be?? .. to try and stop the war with Iraq

I am sure those in charge have an idea of what is going on .. as I am just as sure the Dems will do anything they can to undermine this Administration for their own benefit

Hope you're right, but my confidence in this administration started south about 3 illegal-alien amnesty proposals ago.
