Saudi Arabia still US Ally

[Klukie]

George Bush, the US president, has renewed Saudi Arabia as a key anti-terrorism ally, amid concerns that the oil-rich kingdom is exporting "extremist ideology".


In a memorandum to Condoleezza Rice, the secretary of state, Bush said on Friday that Riyadh was co-operating with efforts to combat international terrorism.



Stuart Levey, the US Treasury under-secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said that Saudi Arabia had failed to prosecute the financiers of so-called terror groups.

Levey also claims that not a single individual identified by the United States or the UN as a terror financier had been prosecuted by Saudi Arabia.

He said: "If I could somehow snap my fingers and cut off the funding from one country, it would be Saudi Arabia."

5. Oh come on. The Saudis make such easy targets. But Stu Levey's little report won't cut it.

And to claim that the Saudis control the White House is laughable. You are throwing darts at a caricature.

The Saudis you speak of were merely installed to facilitate the West's draining of the greatest natural wealth in the history of mankind from beneath the very feet of the people of the Middle East, who are not all Sheikhs and who become awfully pissed off. That sort of thing would piss off anyone, come to think of it.

Hmmmmm. So you have the greatest theft of natural resources in history. I think we can begin to connect some dots here. What do you think?
