"Any government that supports, protects or harbours terrorists is complicit in the murder of the innocent and equally guilty of terrorist crimes."
--George W. Bush

Does that include Saudi Arabia or not?


What a bind the pResident has in right now.
What a blunder, that many of us saw coming.

Saudis Say They Might Back Sunnis if U.S. Leaves Iraq
By HELENE COOPER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 — Saudi Arabia has told the Bush administration that it might provide financial backing to Iraqi Sunnis in any war against Iraq’s Shiites if the United States pulls its troops out of Iraq, according to American and Arab diplomats.

The Saudis have argued strenuously against an American pullout from Iraq, citing fears that Iraq’s minority Sunni Arab population would be massacred. Those fears, United States officials said, have become more pronounced as a growing chorus in Washington has advocated a draw-down of American troops in Iraq, coupled with diplomatic outreach to Iran, which is largely Shiite.

"What’s in it for Saudi Arabia to keep Iraq either in chaos or under their thumb? It’s the oil, stupid. In 2002, SA was already freaked out over the thought of Iraq being able to produce oil to capacity because the Saudis have ruined their country and needed to suppress global production in order to spike prices for themselves. And now, Saudi Arabia is enjoying budget surpluses with no external debt.

And as we told you yesterday, Saudi Arabia has just pulled their ambassador out of the America, and is now threatening us with an oil crash and Iraq intervention if we stop fighting this war for them."

1. Obviously, It Extremely Doesn't Include The Saudis

The Saudis financed the 9/11 attacks, so we attacked Iraq. Of course.

2. I'd write the webmaster of the Randi Rhodes Show

3. It's an "Orwellian World" we are in

The Bush Administration is doing the bidding for the country (Saudi Arabia) from which the blood money for the 9-11 attacks flowed.
Our soldiers are getting maimed and dying so the Saudi Shieks can tell us where, and how high to jump while they continue to fund radical Islam

4. The Saudis wouldn't say anything Bushco didn't ask them to say

Bushco is using the Saudis to gin up support for a "stay the course" strategy.
