What has Saudi Arabia done to fight terrorism?

[Deja Q]

If other countries had rogue citizens (or citizens working covertly for their government :tinfoilhat: ), wouldn't the country actively try to suss out what's going on?

Well, 15 of the 9/11 marauders were Saudi!!

(Were they just terrorists? 2/3rd of their targets were military (WH, Pentagon) and the other was the epicenter of American capitalism (and NOT a 'building of peace' as a misguided 8 year old boy had been told to say on 20/20 at the time :eyes: ), the World Trade Center.

1. Excellent Question!!!

Read Craig Unger's House of Bush, House of Saud:The Secret Relationship Between the World's Two Most Powerful Dynasties.

2. I recall on 20/20 or whatever

That a Saudi ruler was questioned. When asked about his country having rogue citizens, he basically turned it around to mention "Doesn't everybody?" or something to that effect and then pointed out Timothy McVeigh (who was seen as a liberal by the repukes :crazy: :eyes: but seen as a militant neo-con savage by people with brains.)

4. Read this:

"The Bush administration has censored an entire section from the report, detailing the Saudi role in the events leading up to the attacks. These suppressed passages are said to explain how Saudi diplomats provided financial and logistical support for the terrorists. Leading American senators, such as Bob Graham and Richard Shelby, have pointed the finger at Riyadh."

6. Great toons!!

The Saudi's didn't do crap until it was there butts that got attacked. Only then did they decide to round up a few rogues. But they captured only the ones that were enemies of their State, not ours.

9. Given this administration's distinct lack of involving Saudi Arabia

in the 9/11 WOT, I can only believe that the Bush family is severely compromised. This should be a concern to every American....how deep is SA financial interests embedded in this country and how is that affecting our war on terror? How does this continue to endanger our national security interests?
