CNN advertising "Kingdom on the Brink" about Saudi Arabia..

[annabanana]

The tease raised the problem of the original pact between Wahabi and the Saud family. If CNN is "fox-lite" what is their motive for this show? (They said it's on Sat. evening)

1. Is Saudi Arabia next?

Bush could easily play the 911 saudis aspect and invade.

3. Occupying Mecca sure would go over big

in the Muslim world.

2. your name any reference to coffee shop in Portland?

4. SCREW CNN - Complete None-news Network

I don't have regard for the main media any longer.

[blm]

5. So we all feel sorry for the Saudi Royals and their difficult position.

They will stress that they are doing their best as allies of the US.

Propaganda. Saudis own a big chunk of AOL/Time Warner.

12. the reporter on the tease...

Did mention the segregation of the women, and showed the road signs saying "Muslims Only" in Arabic and English.

6. Bush will lose Iraq and the House of Saud will fall. Bank on it.

Bush cannot win in Iraq, no matter what he does. No amount of spin will help him win there. The Iraqis will NEVER accept a leader tainted with American/European influence.

And the Saudis are seething with anger at the royal family.

Bush and the Republicans can't stop them. They are doomed. If they bomb/nuke the shit out of that area, they lose.

And this time, they have no one to blame but themselves.

:nuke:

9. so why should CNN be bringing attention to it?

I would think that BFEE would just as soon that Americans don't think about the Saudi's too much.

[DinahMoeHum]

13. Why?. . .because it's entertainment for them.

:evilgrin:

8. I thought we were boycotting CNN....n/t

[annabanana]

11. I flip around depending on my degree of annoyance and/or

the appearance of the chimpinator..

[robbedvoter]

10. Uh, CNN is a wholy owned subsidiary of Saudi Arabia

memories....

MR. RUSSERT:   Who's more popular in your country, Osama bin Laden or George W. Bush?

PRINCE BANDAR:  We never put those--this polling there.
