Al Qaeda fighters 'are entering Iraq from Saudi'
Funny how Bush and the "Liberal" media is ignoring this story.
---------

Large numbers of Al Qaeda fighters are still crossing freely from Saudi Arabia into Southern Iraq, according to senior military officials in Basra.

Terrorists and weapons continue to flow into the country as it gears up for elections, said Colonel Jouke Spolestra, in charge of security sector reform in the southern Iraqi provinces.

Col Spolestra, of the Royal Netherlands Navy, said that despite regular military patrols and raids on suspected insurgent strongholds, British-led forces had failed to halt the trafficking in personnel and arms.

3. Not our friends
Bush family friends.

That's why you don't hear about this from the corporate controlled U.S. media.

5. Shhhhhh! Just say that they're coming from Syria and Iran.
Machiavellian machinations are necessary to achieve our PNAC agenda.

8. Gynecologists aren't the only ones "practicing their love" in Bush America


That's when a sport was a sport
And groovin' was groovin'
And dancin' meant everything
We were young and we were improvin'
Laughin', laughin' with our friends
Holdin' hands meant somethin' baby,
Outside the club "Cherry Bomb"
Our hearts were really thumpin'
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah

9. Time to implement the Bush Doctrine
"We will go after the terrorists and the countries that harbor them."

Guess that means that Saudi Arabia is next, right?

I just love consistency.

10. Oh, boy! It's a good thing we invaded Saudi Arabia!
Especially since that is where the 9-11 hijackers and most of their money came from.

Wait...

We didn't invade Saudi Arabia?

You sure?

We invaded Iraq?

Seriously?

Well, that was a brilliant move.

12. Thanks to invasion al-Qaeda has established training facilities in Iraq...
According to Michael Scheuer:

"But clearly al-Qaeda has sent insurgents/terrorists into Iraq since the invasion and I suspect the autonomous al-Qaeda organization in the Peninsula is largely responsible for that transit. I suspect the transit works in both directions and Iraq being such a large country helps them in that respect. I mean they have probably established training facilities in Iraq and are using them to train members from the Peninsula. The Saudi members might even participate in some fighting in Iraq, then rest a little and finally return back to the Peninsula."
