CNN...Saudis funding insurgents in Iraq. So, W* & Cheney's pals are killing our soldiers?
Edited on Fri Dec-08-06 09:21 AM by spanone
Didn't Cheney just go for a personal visit with the King? What the fuck is going on?????

Is Dick helping to set up another 911 with our Saudi pals?????


CAIRO, Egypt — Private Saudi citizens are giving millions of dollars to Sunni insurgents in Iraq and much of the money is used to buy weapons, including shoulder fired anti-aircraft missiles, according to key Iraqi officials and others familiar with the cash flow.

Saudi government officials deny that any money from their country is being sent to Iraqis fighting the government and the U.S.-led coalition.

But the U.S. Iraq Study Group report said Saudis are a source of funding for Sunni Arab insurgents. Several truck drivers described carrying boxes of cash from Saudi Arabia into Iraq, money they said was headed for insurgents.

1. Not the leaders, per se, but the people in their country...
whom get all the oil money. We could literally be funding the killing of American soldiers when we go to fill up at the pump.

2. That would lead to the next logical question
of how many American stolen cars are over there being used for bombs.
Then the next logical question is how come we have so much ammunition being stolen.
Of course this all leads to the most inevitable question of all.
When do the trials begin?

5. Saudi Arabia attacked us on 9/11. Look at the facts.
If those planes were hijacked by north koreans, would we ignore that fact?

So then why does our government seem to ignore that 95% of the 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.

9. This just makes me so angry I could scream (and I do!)
15 of the 19 attackers on 9/11 carried Saudi passports, yet we attack Iraq :crazy:

The Saudis support terrorism and have been business partners of the Bush Family for decades. Bush let all of OBL's relatives out of the country on 9/12 before US officials could question them. What more proof do we need that the Saudis and the Bush Family are in cahoots?

So then why does our government seem to ignore that 95% of the 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.--I use 75% as an illustration of Saudi complicity (15 of 19(20)), but whether it's 75% or 95%, its still supports the "Saudis did 9/11" thesis.

Also, two of the attackers carried passports from the UAE--the country Bush wants to turn control of our ports over to, so 17 of the 19 attackers were from countries Bush either does business with or wants to do business with...:crazy:

I find this to be particularly distrubing...

10. This is the elephant in the middle of the room the 9/11 conspiracy theorists totally ignore.
No one wants to talk about this.

Another thing no one likes to talk about: The stock market put options someone made on the airliners is the smoking gun the media, and every 9/11 conspiracy theorist, seems to ignore it. The put options story was in the papers for about 2 months after 9/11 and then they just stopped talking about it.

Whoever did those put options on the airliners was behind, or at least involved in, 9/11.

6. A question that could be asked
What happens when the u.s. leave Iraq ?

The Iranians and the Shias will try to dominate the country.

Neither the u.s. right-wing nor the Saudis want this to happen.

Therefore the u.s. right-wing will form an alliance with the Sunnis, i.e. the same people who are at this moment booting them out the country.

This could be just advance networking for when the u.s. leave Iraq

7. It is ALWAYS bush and cheney's 'close friends' the Saudis..........
that either support or are conducting attacks on America and Americans. I guess as long as bush, cheney and the oil companies are getting rich, THEY will give the Saudis' terrorist support and attacks a pass. 'WE' are living in the netherworld nation.
