Saudi Royals Mask A Jihad Agenda

Youssef Ibrahim reports on the Saudi double game in the New York Sun (thanks to James):

...For half a century, the West has preferred to believe that its choice in Saudi Arabia is the moderate, friendly Saudi royal family or the wild-eyed, sandal-clad zombies of jihad, disregarding the seamless relationship between the two.

We have blithely ignored that Mr. bin Laden was a product and a protégé — even a full-fledged member — of the ruling establishment in Saudi Arabia. Indeed, his 52 brothers and other members of his family have intermarried widely with the royal family.

Since Abdulaziz Al-Saud founded his kingdom in 1932, power in Saudi Arabia has rested in the hands of one rabid group of Muslim jihadists: the 40,000 perfumed princes and princesses of the Saud tribal dynasty. They are the public face of Saudi Arabia, the folks who show up in the White House as ambassadors to America.

In Saudi Arabia, these royals nurture a vast entourage and infrastructure of palaces, attached mosques, religious schools, and charitable networks at home and, more important, abroad. These institutions are tied to elegant public princes, but also to many more we never see overseas. They dole out the money and in return demand blind obedience and a steady stream of Wahhabite devotees.

Saudi royal wealth has funded not only hundreds of religious schools inside the kingdom, but also hundreds more in Pakistan, Egypt, Afghanistan, Britain, America, and Asia.
The network stretches far and wide, and Wahhabi recruits create the fodder that supplies suicide bombers for Hamas, the Taliban, Iraqi jihadis, and Pakistani-British transit bombers.

Al Queda and the jihadists are just mosquitoes. The Saudis and Iranians are the swamps that breed them, and will continue to breed them in unlimited quantities, until such point as we do something about their financial backing of radicals

As far as I can tell, Osama was just the liaison between the money men and the operational people

For further info see Meet the Bin Ladens

Also, Membership of the Golden Chain (the first paragraph is in French for some reason, but it then switches to English)

l dont think many are surprised by this post, the sauds though are stretched thin and their dogs they feed will bite them back. you cannot spread your violent cult and not have it come back on you. it is only right that is does and it already has.

Don't Saudis have anything better to do with their money like, I dont know, feed Africa?

Reminds me of a story I heard. Wonder if it's true. If it is, what a difference between Cyprus and Sicily..!!

When the Arabs took Sicily, the islanders hated the islamics with a capital H. Royal hate. Cauase you can bet your last dollar, the islamics started doing what they do best, eh?

Ever wonder why the rest of Europe and Cyprus still and now, has problems with islamics?

Originally, the people were pure blooded descendants of the fair skinned Greeks - and then the Romans. When the Arabs came in they started in with the island woman. Unfortunately,the islanders had no place to go.


The Sicilians organized secretly - to oppose them - posted look-outs - resisters among the common people. Fleeing to guerilla camps in the mountains. And if there were any informers among the people, they were summarily, dealt with.If you know what I mean.

And although, they had no weapons, they still had the blades - ahem! - the Sicilians DID EXACTLY TO THE MOSLEMS WHAT THE MOSLEMS DID TO THEM! No Arab was safe.

Today, people from that part of the world, look down on the dark skinned Sicilians - the Mainlanders call them "niggers." I always winced when I heard that. Such contempt and prejudice the Southern Europeans have towards them. The same prejudice as is had with the people from Gascony. The same as the Gypsies who still exist.

But you know what, today, Sicily is Christian. They have no trouble with moslems among them. None atall!

Today, I can see the struggle the Sicilians had. They had COJONES (!)...and ovaries, baby.

They DARED!

Saudi Royal and Jihad are opposites, they hate each other big time!

All the house of saud cares about is luxury car, palaces, sex with beautiful women (loadz), basically everything Islam warns against. Islam teaches us not to get attached to this life because its only temporary, to hope in the hereafter...And whoever hopes to meet his Lord with a peaceful heart, MUST HAVE FAITH AND WORK GOOD DEEDS.....This is far from the HOUSE OF SAUD

I think an article by George Jonas pretty much summed up the Saudis (and their use of the jihadists). George Jonas noted how the Saudis play a double game -- they keep the jihadists around for one reason -- the jihadis are necessary for the Saudi royal family to survive. How does this work? What happens is that no matter how despicable the Saudis behave (corruption, etc), they can always go to the Americans with hands outstretched (get monies and arms to prop up their corrupt regime) and get whatever they desire -- because they threaten the Americans with "If you don't keep us in power, just think what would happen if the jihadists took over!!" In other words, there's somebody else hovering in the background (of the bin Laden variety) so the Saudi royals are not "the worst" possible -- there's another candidate...

Have no fear American public, bush al-saud and his family have a decades long warm relationship with those wonderful people. Often, he refers to them as "close personal friends."

And in fact they are wonderful people! They have funded the vast majority of peace-loving mosques in this country.

You have nothing to fear (and please forget about that little 9-11 thing with 15 of the 19 peace loving muslims being SAUDI nationals).

Pay your taxes, don't ask questions, let the authorities handle it, and most importantly, believe your government when they tell you "There's nothing to indicate terrorism!"

Have a nice day.

Islam teaches us not to get attached to this life because its only temporary, to hope in the hereafter.
Abdullah this is where you have it all wrong, and the koran steers you away from the purpose of life. you are meant to experince life, snow your woth as a good human being, and from that your hereafter for what ever religion you believe your soul will go on to higher levels,ie Hindus, you will go to Heaven with Jesus,for Christians, etc.
your Koran has you kill, murder plunder in the name of defending such a false prophet and his moon god allah, that if you just look logically you will surely not go to any sort of Heaven. l am sure if you follow the pious muslim way, you will meet muhammud in hell. you dont go around stoneing women, men, killing in the name of any God and be rewarded. Abdullah, you say you have half English, and Somalie/Italian in you, you grew up in GB? Would you go to Somalie and hack off someone's head because they might of insulted your muhammud? would you stone to death a girl who was raped? these are sharia laws, with some "Western"
logic cannot you see the evil in this islam?

Homework continues to go undone by the State Dept. and White House. Over the next 5 years, 20,000 Saudi university students will or have already entered the USA. Prepare for suicide bombers at your local mall, more lawsuits claiming Islamophobia at universities and airports, and more stores of raped, beaten maids who have managed to escape from their Saudi student masters.

"Saudi Royal and Jihad are opposites, they hate each other big time!"

So that's why they formed an unholy alliance? Ibn al-Saud wanted to rule the peninsula and so he formed an alliance with the tribe of Muhammad ibn Abdel Wahhab. The Saud family got to rule Arabia in return for promoting the Wahhabist version of Islam which, until then, was limited to a tiny part of Arabia.

Jihad is in the eye of the beholder. Saudi oil money funded (and still funds) mosques in the West that preach the illegitimacy of secular governments. The Saudis applauded jihad done against the West. They had no compunction about accepting the protection of Western militaries against the Soviet threat. They had no trouble accepting US troops to protect them from a fellow Arab ruler - Saddam. A jihadist attack against them is not jihad - it's insurrection.

For a time, the Saudis were lucky and so were we. They established a relationship with the US as the USSR was gaining power and threatening the both the Middle East potentates and the democracies of the West. They ensured the free flow of oil (after the oil embargo, anyway) to profligate American consumers. Both sides benefited, sort of. Now the Saudis press for jihad (no matter what Abdullah thinks) and the jihadists threaten the Saudis because, as Islamic as they are, they're just not Islamic enough.

But now the bill is coming due. For both the US and for the Saudis the lesson is the same: lay down with snakes and you risk getting bit.

I agree, PMK. But it's almost like the "Londonistan" outlook -- that is, the Saudi royals just love the jihadis (or claim to), so long as they are outside the country. If the jihadists spread terror elsewhere -- no problem. Ditto for UK's policy for years and years; radical Imams were granted immunity, so long as there were no terrorist attacks within Britain...if the radicals wanted to attack elsewhere, no problem.

Anyway, Robert Gates (U.S. Defense Secretary) has agreed to a sale of JDAM bombs to Saudi Arabia. This is nuts. (There are some who worry that terrorists could obtain the weapons). (this is another aspect of failed Western policies -- the continuing transfer of western technology into the hands of Arabs/Muslims...this is all going to backfire.

Also, the Saudi Kingdom (according to an Atlantic Monthly, May 2007 article, "The Kingdom in the Closet", also the link was posted by a JW reader) has a flourishing gay culture. According to the writer at Atlantic Monthly, the segregation of the sexes (males from females) makes it "easier to be gay than straight".

Iran, then Saudi Arabia.
Pakistan when Musharraf falls to the Muslimah & Mullah mobs, with India's help.
Syria will fold up the tent and try to go home on its own.


The Iranian regime needs to go. Syria won't matter after that point. Saudi Arabia's royalty needs to go and Pakistan will go on its own.

Currently I'm reading Steven Emerson's book "American House of Saud", which was written 22 years ago, and it documents how Saudi influence gained strength in the mid 1970's, more than 30 years ago. I didn't know that this was the same case back then, so this was very enlightening. In 30+ years nothing has changed, only different presidents.

And if a Democrat takes office in 2009 (and I think the Democrats will win the White House), then we can expect more kissing up to the f***ing Saudis. You thought Bush holding hands was bad? It will be far f***ing worse with Clinton or Obama.

It is my fervent hope that one day -- and I hope it's soon -- there will be a grim day of reckoning for all of our perfidious politicians. As far as I'm concerned, their actions over the past twenty plus years goes beyond incompetency and has ventured into the realm of complicity.

Anyone who thinks that UBL and the royals are in dispute haven't taken a closer look. The softest targets in Saudi Arabia are the royals and their ownings - absolutely none of these have been targets of Al Qaeda, instead places where Americans (mostly) and British frequent are the areas that get bombed.

And the place where the Saudis train their jihadists... pakistan. Taliban = Saudi Arabia

Here is an excerpt from a book that I read, “Saudi expansionism is also visible in Central Asia. The Taliban are Saudis without oil, and the Saudis are Taliban with oil: the definition is as precise as it is accurate. We need to add that without Saudi Arabia there would be no Taliban.” Pg 71, Princes of Darkness

And there is even a mention of a deal between bin laden and the Saudis - it is just that no one can prove it. It would be like proving two worms met in the mud.

It is also a well known fact that Saudi Arabia funds CAIR and also over 1500 madrassas in the USA alone. And they teach their radical islam - Wahabbism in those schools.

One notable feature of the madrassas in Pakistan that they fund is that the rise in the number of madrassas correlates to the rise in illiteracy also.

Here is another quote from the same book, p76, "When the Maulana Smiul Haz, rector of the extremist madrasa of Haqqania was asked why he had his 5 and 6 year old pupils demonstrate against the USA, he replied, "Young people must not think," Nor must they learn. The madrassas teach the theology of rage, they are factories turning out jihadists. They now have more students than teh public education system,... And from 60-90% of the financing of madrassas comes from abroad, primarily from Saudi Arabia."

What fool thinks that the Saudis and Pakistanis are our 'friends and allies'??!!

I do my own boycotting - I drive ONLY WHEN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY! I walk and ride a bike more than I ever have before. If we are to stop this - it is to cut off the oil money to the Saudis!

Abdullah, you might be right about some of the Saudi 'royals' being only concerned with their wealth and decadence - but you are not correct about most of them, and their goals of spreading wahabbism. Or you are just being deceitful. What is it? Ignorance or deceit? Either doesn't fare too well on you after all your visits into this site!

Of course all the Saudi Princes do not have the same agenda, but it has long been known that half of them adhere to Wahhabism. In fact, it was shortly after 9-11 that I discovered what any of this meant while reading some books by Dore Gold and others, and that's when I soon realized what we were really up against.

Basically, this is old news.

This is old news to all of us, but if this is old news to most of our peoples not a muslim, or even a wahabbi muslim, then why are they allowed to keep advancing their agenda in the USA, let alone anywhere else?

I will say that Guiliani had it right to turn down Saudi money right after 9/11. Once the Saudis give money to you they EXPECT that one gives them some deals, and their deals are in direct correlation to the spread of wahabbism. Our Universities are given money and they are now (unwittingly) spreading wahabbism, the Pope was given $50mil for a building in Rome to convert to a mosque - and look what we get there - nothing but a Pope who appeases muslims while Christians are ruthlessly slaughtered not only right across a little water mass but all over this globe, and there are probably other businesses who are given Saudi money to appease islam - I just don't know all of them.

Imagine an Islamic world......


Terrifying isn't it?


One only has to look at the Meccas, and political powerhouses of the Islamic world to see that an Islamic world would be a world without Love, tolerance and Humanity. Islam is the ultimate test for freedom. Will we give in and allow ourselves to be terrorized and ruled over by hate or will we rise to the challenge as our forfathers have done and beat down and destroy this Evil cancer that has infected the human soul and mind.

Talk about a swing and a miss baseball fans.

The Saud family is Sunni and egocentric tribal government. They like Catholics in Northern Ireland and the Pope promote their brand of religion. This does not make them bad...it makes them Sunni.

As for their money, they have the right to promote and build their religion. They made huge mistakes in using the Wahabbist fascists as a tool against the Jews and Russia as it was taken from them and is now controlled by Zawahiri for the Russians.
Their money also shows up in allot of American industry and Presidential libraries (Clinton and Carter).

The house of Saud makes mistakes, but they also are the most adept of political operatives. I for one in having contact with them enough know the people on top and for lack of a better term, "They are French refined diplomatic with a self assured humbleness in God".

They have kept oil from going 100 bucks a barrel. They have bribed the Chinese with oil to keep them off our back in Iraq. The Saud family just like all 1000 plus families are going to have dregs that marry into it like bin Laden.

For the record, bin Laden approached the Saud family before Gulf War I and told them he could drive out Saddam from Kuwait. The Saud family laughed at him and this is what started the entire overt Jihad against Saudi Arabia and America.
That was one of their mistakes, but you can not blame them for laughing at kooks.

This hit piece against the Saud family has a reason and those behind it are the same forces who probably want another Saddam back and a toppled Saud regime, so they can get their hands on the Arabian oil.
There is not a Saudi mask in this as the Saud family has always been anti Israel, they hate the neo Syrian Philistines, dislike all Shia and are self serving.

The locus of terror is the Koran.

The home of the Koran is Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

Nothing good comes of a rotten root.

The political traitors in the West who coddle this corruption are the new Quisling Class.

Since 1965, when the immigration laws of the U.S. were changed, till al-Bush kissing the jowl of one of these cheeky s.o.b.'s in Crawford, Texas.

Jihad bubbles from this poisoned spring.

Their Zamzam water is spiritual cyanide.

Tell the Saudis to leave our Whores and Booze alone and go back to their wonderfully Pious Country.

The Saudi 'royals' are nothing but morons who work at staying that way. They are nonetheless very shrewd. If we think that it is ok for the Saudis to spread their brand of islam than the women better watch out since their brand of islam is the taliban's brand of islam - they are one and the same.

Do we have such a short memory of how women were treated in Afghanistan under the Taliban, or even how they are treated in Saudi Arabia - while the menfolk just get in their big old cars and escape Saudi Arabian fundamentalism for a little 'party' over the way in UAE. And they can come home in whatever state of mind and just kill their women and claim an 'honor killing'. And divorce - that is just a matter of saying it a couple of times and booting the woman out - and gee, they make sure they can't work to support themselves and their children if they are 'manless'. islam is nothing but sex for the men and making killing ok - all if you say it is for islam.

Read my first post above and if you think educating women is the furthest thing from their minds (let alone their own lack of education other than the koran) then you might be surprised that they think very little of educating ANYONE! except to hate and kill for islam, oh and I don't want to forget that the only thing that anyone needs to do is learn the koran.

And they wonder why they have nothing else. It wasn't too long ago when they thought electricity was sinful - they thought it evil that there should be light in the night - it was just not natural. Saudi Arabian islam is not something that nurtures a mind in a way to invent things... just sex and killing and hating and killing some more... oh and make sure if you don't want to do the killing and you just want to sit around and watch the dhimmi work - then you must support the killers as best as you can.

The worst nations with massive numbers of poor and disregard for humans are muslim nations.

The Saudis finance Global Jihad. That's the fact we should be concerned with.

Groups like the International Islamic Relief Organization and Muslim World League and World Assembly of Muslim Youth are direct arms of the Saudi government. No degrees of separation. There are no big arrests of prominent Saudis or shutting down of the financial institutions directly linked to Islamic Jihad in the kingdom.
These remain facts, in spite of the arrests and crackdowns of enemies of the Kingdom.

Al-Raji Bank is not under scrutiny, despite financing the SAAR Network and being interlocked with other front groups, despite being the primary bank of MWL, Al-Haramain, and the IIRO.
Prince Sultan was directly involved in the IIRO, MWL, WAMY and Al-Haramain. Adel Batterjee, Jihad financier par excellence, was chairman of WAMY. The IIRO was involved in payments to the first WTC bombers, it laundered money for Al Qaeda, Abu Sayef and Moro Islamic Liberation (the IIRO head in Philippines was bin Laden's brother-in-law). It gave $60 million to the Taliban. President of the MWL, Abdullah Obaid, runs an Al-Rajhi family corporation, Al-Watania, and is a top official of Rabita Trust, an Al Qaeda front (headed by Wa'el Jalaidan, also with MWL), a branch of the MWL, and a designated a terror entity by our State Department. (Al-Rajhi companies continue to function in the USA: Mar Jac Poulty, Piedmont Poultry, al Watania Poultry, Mar Jac Investments).

The Saudis passed money laundering and terror financing regulations but the rules remain unenforced. Crown Prince Abdullah officially withdrew support for Hamas in 2002, but unofficially special accounts for Palestinian groups continue to fund it and Khaled Mishal was an honored guest in Saudi Arabia for the World Assembly of Muslim Youth a few months later.

CAIR in the U.S. has also received funding by WAMY and the IIRO. And remember Al Qaeda itself originated as a charity, Mektab, Office of Services.

The worst nations with massive numbers of poor and disregard for humans are muslim nations.

SOWdiarabia and Nazistan being the worst among them.

I see light at the end of the tunnel.. Less than 2 years for Bush. so the damage he did has been done but he can only do that much more.

WHAT an idiot! And I am not saying that for the same reasons the Left is saying it. IMHO the Left is even dumber than Bush.

At least he's getting paid.

But I guess so are the Ward Churchills and the Kambons who are virtually unemployable in any normal business. Thus they have found comfy homes in SOWdi-funded "Middle eastern studies" programs in American Academia.

Who's going to clean up this mess, Martha Stewart?

I say Rudy. And Thanks to Hitlery being the Dem nominee-incarnate Rudy will make it all the way.

He knows the evil of the SOWdis.

He's a bit of a tyrant who means well. And he'll be a tyrant to those SOWdis and their ilk abroad.

I can already imagine the entire State Department preparing their resumes... clearing out their desks.

Cya guys!

Lame cherry ....that was a lame post.

What goes on due to islam today wherever it may be found is all Iran and Saudi arabia influenced.

They create the frankensteins,they feed the frankensteins and they clothe the frankensteins.

Thier entire religion and political scheme is all for themselves and this "cause".

Iran and Saudi Arabia should be handed the bill for the wars now in action and all the costs for the future reciepts to do with battleing islam.

lets not forget they both should be allowed to be sued by every individual executed and thier surviving relatives.It's not meant to be a money making scheme but a weopon to keep as much money from reaching the hands of those who wish to do more harm.

It should be made that Iran and Saudi Arabia stay awake at night worrying how to keep thier "lions" from harming the infedels.Not the other way around.

These people breed it,teach it and fund it.Please no more excuses.There are no excuses you can find for these creators of frankensteins.

STOP INSULTING MY INTELIGENCE!

Also i am well aware of the chinese and russians.

China sides with islam because it needs the oil.China is in affect similar to islam as they have more citizens than they can take care of.China steals to survive and this is the motto of islam.

Russia rakes in billions selling technology and weopons to islam,feels it has superior power due to it's oil wealth and only wears a slightly different darker cloak than islam but both share the same hate for the west.

"I do my own boycotting - I drive ONLY WHEN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY! I walk and ride a bike more than I ever have before. If we are to stop this - it is to cut off the oil money to the Saudis!"
-- from a posting above

There are tens of millions of people in this country, and hundreds of billions elsewhere, who for reasons having nothing to do with their grasp of Islam, wish to diminish the use of oil and gas, and are doing -- or would like to do -- the same thing as the poster above, but for different reasons.

Fine. Let them.

It makes sense to take advantage of, and exploit the possibilities, of those who will for different ends (to limit the amount of anthropogenic climate change or to check the meance of Islam) use the same means (to decrease the use of oil). In this case the different ultimate ends do not matter. Only the overlap, or coincidence, of means deemed necessary does.

Rudy cannot be trusted on this issue. How many of the hijackers were in the country illegally? Rudy allowed NYC to remain a sanctuary city, meaning immigration status could not be checked even if someone was arrested for another crime.

He has made some noises about getting tough on immigration, but don't believe him.

He did a wonderful job leading the city in the wake of the attacks but there is no indication that any policy he supports would do anything to prevent such attacks in the future. Amnesty is the name of his game.

He's a great guy and might make a great senator or governor, but he won't make a great president.

And if a Democrat takes office in 2009 (and I think the Democrats will win the White House), then we can expect more kissing up to the f***ing Saudis. You thought Bush holding hands was bad? It will be far f***ing worse with Clinton or Obama.

I disagree. You see, if they ran Bill Richardson, then yes. But Hitlery has SO much baggage there isn't enough room on Al Gore's private plan to carry it all.

Barack Hussein Obama? Not just NO - But HELL NO! I guarantee you that will be what most Americans will say about that.

Bill Richardson could beat Giuliani. But he's a distant third in the democrat primary.

So it looks like we will indeed have a Giluini vs. Hitlery slugfest for the White House.

Hitlery will find putting Obama on her ticket as VP too tempting to pass up.

But there will be many saying that it's too risky having a moslems a heart beat away from the Presidency.

So the 'HELL NO' effect will be in force against Hitlery as well.

PMK If not Rudy.. whom do you have in mind that has a realistic chance of winning?

Do you want Hitlery?

I think not.

Allahfanculo:

I guess the people I support don't have a realistic chance of winning. I only know at this moment I have no intention of voting for any of the top tier candidates in either party. NJ is a blue state and the Democrats will carry it no matter who I vote for.

I might be able to hold my nose and vote for Biden on the Democratic side. I would NEVER vote for Richardson - for the amnesty agenda.

Everyone wants to focus on the Hispanic vote, so amnesty is okay with them. I view our border problems as all-encompassing, having heard Middle Easterners detail their stories of how they got in illegally. Don't forget that several of the 9/11 hijackers were here illegally. There were chances to catch them, if immigration status had been a priority with law enforcement. Now the mayor of San Francisco has decided that he will do his level best to prevent the enforcement of immigration laws within the city limits.

Right now it's Tom Tancredo (no chance, but he's my guy), maybe Duncan Hunter, Ron Paul or (if he decides to join in) Newt Gingrich.

I love Rudy but I will not vote for him for president.

Democrat or Republican, it's the same choice and that is no choice at all, because there's no difference between them. One wants cheap votes, the other wants cheap labor and to heck with the American people.

Yes, the Saudis are the head of the snake.
I have this nagging suspicion that the war in Iraq was started in order to keep them out of the limelight.
After 9/11 harder questions should have been asked.
But they have money and can buy favours.

When is America going to start taking imperialism seriously?

Are we really better off letting the arabs pretend that it's their oil? At the expense of paying the tributes that Jefferson put an end to so long ago?

Is it really cheaper and easier and safer to go on with this charade?

I know, we all hate the idea off empire. OK. My bad.

But honestly, except for some bad guys, everybody involved would be better off if we just took down their institutions and put in a colonial governor.

Mind you, I think it's likely too late for all that.

But it's just possible, that in his maladroit way, our GWB might just be experimenting along those lines in Iraq.

Maybe the current thinking in DC is "well, if we can set up a normal society, we won't need a governor".

And looking at the examples of Japan and Germany, it's not altogether implausible.

But short of bombing our own oil fields (saudis be damned) into a smoking radioactive waste, what are our alternatives? Militarily speaking of course.

"But short of bombing our own oil fields (saudis be damned) into a smoking radioactive waste, what are our alternatives? Militarily speaking of course."

Here's one: we pull American troops out of all countries with a significant Muslim population and let the chips fall where they may. That would include Kuwait. Then WE see which side wins and then WE work with that side. WE turn a deaf ear to all in this country and around the world who criticize our government for "working with dictators".

We tell them: sorry guys, but you can't have it both ways. You complained when we worked with Saddam. You sabotaged us when we got rid of Saddam and then tried to guilt us into staying.
NEVER AGAIN.

Our president said that if you stand for your freedom America will stand with you. That will remain our policy but it means YOU must stand for your freedom. I don't see that happening in Iraq. For every bomb that kills Americans or Iraqis, there is a "peaceful" Muslim who knew when and where it was set and what the plans were and yet that person SAID NOTHING. If you're afraid to stand for your own country, then we can't help you. If pride prevents your accepting our help, then we'll just go home, and please lose our phone number. We have caller id and we won't pick up the next time you call.

The coup de grace: a ban on ALL Muslim travel to the US for the next fifty years. Not even the good bin Ladens will be allowed in. Those who leave for any reason will not be allowed back in. They will be required to find other countries willing to take them in or else return to the place of their (or their parents') birth and live in the society that they still support against freedom and democratic ideals.

Here's the achille heel there...
Saudi is like an inverted soviet union...it's not without, it's within. They're doing good just keeping their grip on power internally.

In order to keep themselves from falling victim to their own devices (read thatas the mnster they themselves created) and collapse the entire house of saud (which I expect by 2010 regardless), they know they MUST help the islamofascists attack the world, as it kills two birds with one stone (in their eyes)
...diverting death outward to the world, making it easier for them to look like allies, and the blood money they help the islamofascists with pays them off & defer the inevitable coup on them (hoping to prepare for contingency in the mean time).

If they DON'T help the jihadis attack the world, the same islamofascists turn on their own: THEM, and if that happens, the royal family doesn't stand a chance, since 70% of the populace hate their guts.

Most simply...they're appeasers, feeding the wolf, hoping to be eaten last.
They have just about played out all their "cards", without any options beyond that...save reformation
and that they will NEVER accept...and that invites an imminent Checkmate. The west knows this. :-)
