Saudi prince backs cleric's bounty for abduction of Israeli soldiers for prisoner exchanges, throws in $900,000 of his own

This "prince of darkness" as well as the clerics who incite abductions, kidnapping and violence MUST be brought to justice. Failing to do so is an act of cowardice. Force is the ONLY language these vermins are able to understand. The IDF should go after the children of Satan, one by one.
And yes, we should drill..NOW!

Why aren't there rewards on the heads of Prince Khaled bin Talal and Awad al-Qarni?

Why aren't they on a publicly published Predator Drone list?

Can we take up a collection to put a price on their heads?

I had predicted that "the Saudi authorities soon will arrest him for inciting to hatred and spreading corruption".
I look kinda silly now, don't I? Considering that the Saudi Royals are the authorities.

:(

Immediate action should be taken against the Saudi's and the Palestinian's. Since our President is not willing to take action, our congress should immediately suspend all aid to the Palestinian's and all military sales to Saudi Arabia. Condemnation resolutions should be entered in the United Nations. The criminal behavior of these Islamic nations and people should not be tolerated. These types of actions are acts of war and should be treated as such. Israel is totally justified to respond with force.

hummmmmm, about that 900 large....would that by any chance be American money, which we traded this perp for some Saudi Arabian heavy crude ....?

...wait a minute.....hold on... I'm thinking......really hard now.....getting ready to guess.........okay.....here it is

Would the correct answer be YES....?

Muslims are not allies of any kafir. Saudi Arabia is no friend. We should have known that from years past.

Let's drill our way to energy independence and tell these two-faced barrows and their ilk what they can do with their oil and sand.

I'm going to be a bit contrarian here...

"We have called many times over the years for a sort of "Manhattan Project" for innovations toward the goal of energy independence."

The problem with the Saudis is not our dependence on their oil; it is our dependence on their dollars.

We are not dependent on their oil. We get more oil from Canada and Mexico than we get from Saudi Arabia. Further, in any crisis, the US will easily supply its strategic oil needs from Canada, Mexico, South America, and its own reserves and domestic production.

The Saudis will always be able to sell oil to Europe, China, and other emerging markets of Asia. They can buy all the US treasury bonds they want from China, which is a major holder of US bonds and which is very worried over the US trade deficit and profligate government spending.

So, there is no need for any "Manhattan Project", utilizing questionable science and even more questionable economics to provide yet another taxpayer-funded black hole to our economic productivity.

The real danger posed by Saudi Arabia is directly linked to the desire of the US to get Saudi money. The 9-11 hijackers bypassed any rational visa barriers through a US program to promote Saudi tourism in the US. The Saudis are funding mosques, college chairs, and Islamic political special interest groups. The Saudis also are economically linked with more than one ex-President. These dangers would remain even if the US did not import one gallon of Saudi oil.

The US needs, at a minimum, to strictly limit the things foreign money can buy. Foreign interests should not be able to fund lobby groups, except under very specific circumstances directly related to business. Foreign interests should be absolutely barred from political contributions. US politicians and past Presidents should have NO business dealing with foreign countries.

"We are not dependent on their oil."

True enough, but....
The U.S. currently imports ca. 12 million bbl/day (not counting imports from NAFTA partners Canada and Mexico). About 1 million bbl/day comes from Saudi Arabia. If we could cut our non-NAFTA imports in half, that would mean that all the oil producers would have to reduce their production. And the Saudis, being the second-largest producer (after Russia), would have to reduce production the most. And the Saudis aren't the only ones supporting the Islamic conquest; reducing our imports would cut the incomes of several states supporting Islamic expansion.
So, how to do it?
1) Expand domestic production. We have considerable reserves in the Arctic, in the Gulf of Mexico, and in the Rockies. Let's develop them.
2) Buy more from Canada. There are large reserves still untapped in the Alberta tar-sands; and Saskatchewan looks like it has tar-sand reserves nearly as large as Alberta's.
3) Substitute natural gas where feasible -- the U.S. has huge gas reserves. It would not be difficult to power trucks, buses, and locomotives with natural gas instead of diesel.
4) Substitute electrification, not for private cars, but in rapid transit. Existing commuter rail lines can be electrified, and new commuter, subway, and light-rail lines built. The electricity can be supplied by nuclear plants.
So it doesn't take a Manhattan Project, or rocket science, just the will to use existing resources and technology.

"I wonder what it would take and how difficult it would be to destroy the Saudi oil wells."

I strongly disagree with that thought. It is totally immoral to destroy someone else's property when you have other means to defend yourself. I favor shutting off immigration to Muslims, but other than that, I wish them no harm, and certainly don't wish to be a party to any aggression against them that is not an act of self-defense.

Along those lines, though, we can certainly stop military support of Middle Eastern regimes, and allow the Saudis to fend for themselves, particularly if they allow this type of action.

Well my take is that the prince is just mixed up because he got hit on the head with one too many vollyballs.
