Thread Name: BS: What's With Saudi Arabia???
Subject: RE: BS: What's With Saudi Arabia???
Does anyone other than me think that in "The War On Terror" the Saudis ARE the enemy? I mean, I know their crown prince can hold hands with our president, but........... the vast majority of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis, the Saudis invest heavily in muslim "charities", Osama Bin Ladin is a Saudi, now they're investing in Hamas. It seems pretty obvious to me that they straddle the fence. They love selling the west high priced (and developed by the west, incidentially) oil while waging war on our culture. The game they play keeps the carnage off their turf. When attacked by Iraq in GHWB's war they depended on American blood getting spilled to protect them but are very happy to tighten the screws on oil prices when we need some relief. They are running a nice little antiseptic holy war and noone seems to have the balls to call them on it.
