After all, look how well that Cash-For-Fighting-Terror thing worked out in Pakistan! Anyway, will our Friends and Allies the Saudis come across from Al-Qaeda in Yemen? What exactly would stop them?
"Yemen's Qaeda wing seeks donations in Saudi Arabia," from Reuters, September 27 (thanks to Maxwell):
DUBAI, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's Yemeni wing is targeting Saudi individuals to ask for donations to support its fight against the U.S.-allied government of Sanaa, Al Arabiya television reported on Sunday....
Arabiya aired a video showing a Saudi member of the group it identified as Saeed al-Shehri urging fellow Saudis to donate money to support al Qaeda fighters in Yemen."The bearer of this message is trusted by us," the militant said after making his request. It was not immediately clear if any arrests were made or how the recording was acquired....
Twin suicide car bombings outside the U.S. embassy in Sanaa a year ago killed 16 people. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility....
Four Yemenis carrying hand grenades, automatic weapons and ammunition. and guns were arrested near the U.S. embassy in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, Yemen's Interior Ministry said earlier this month, but did not say when they were arrested....
International concern over Yemen has grown because of the risk that instability there could endanger neighbours including Saudi Arabia and complicate efforts to combat al Qaeda and piracy in the Gulf of Aden.The United States has offered to help Yemen in its "fight against terrorism". U.S. President Barack Obama said in a letter to Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh earlier this month that the United States will "stand beside Yemen, its unity, security and stability".
How reassuring!
Look at the big picture and US Treasury is open for the Ummag:
- 2 Bil to Jordan, whose terrorist links are exposed in last few days, EVERY YEAR.
- 2 Bil to Egypt, that has given terrorists like Yasser Arafat, Zawihiri and Atta, EVERY YEAR.
- 1.5 Bil to Pakistan, that has given KSM, Sheikh Omar, LeT, JeM, Taliban, Muslim Khan, ISI, EVERY YEAR.
But why should likes of Condi, Hillary or Barry care? Elections are won, Senate and House are Democrats and now, all that matters is umah's welfare around the world. For the record, Bush's political career was finance by Saudi-petro dollars all the way.
So, what are a few billion US Tax-dollars in ummah's pocket?
Early in our country's history, in response to the Barbary Pirates, the halls of Congress were filled with Congressmen shouting "Millions for defense, not a penny for tribute!"
How things have changed! Now it is "Billions for jizya, not a penny for self-respect!"
And why, why, why, given the way that Muslim Yemenis treat each other inside Yemen, would any self-respecting non-Muslim country admit *any* Muslim from Yemen onto non-Muslim soil?
If they behave that way at home, why should we suppose they will behave any differently, anywhere else?
Votes & money.
Most probably, will not be necessary to elaborate, but if necessary, will be happy to.....
