    No matter the murderous plot,
    We respect them?" (Sun 30 Sep 2001 09:03:18 PM EDT)

    Check your facts and your dates.. the Telethon was for Palestinians and lead to the MI6 booze wars and bombing other Brits.

    For reference see Lord Plumbly and Dearlove...

    Ahrar al-Sham, shares much of Nusra’s extremist ideology but is made up mostly of Syrians.....snip~


    Hows that looking.....what deflection can you come up with now? What deflection can you come up with that the Saud didn't support and fund them?

    I liked Prince Sultan.. His English was perfect, he loved Americans and he had a great sense of humor.. His nickname was the California Prince.

    The Saudis initially were going to support al Nusra, but that didn't last long, because the SAG decided they were too violent and they already had the blowback from the war in Afghanistan.

    Notice what you said.....Initially. Yet the Saud funded Al Nusra and Ahrar Al Sham. So it is a fact that they funded and supported terrorists.

    Saudi support for al Nusra was VERY brief.

    Very Brief means supporting and funding. Does it not? So that didn't help you. Thus ending your deflection.

    Then they continued to support and fund Al Sham even after they said they stopped funding Al Nusra.

    Very "brief" doesn't change the fact that they still supported them.

    "Ordinary Saudis taking part have shown support for Palestinian suicide bombings at a time when President Bush is demanding that all Arab governments unequivocally condemn such attacks."
    http://www.foxnews.com/story/2002/04/13/saudi-telethon-raises-over-100-million-for-palestinians.html

    Immorality coming back to bite them now, funny. Maybe a telethon for Iranian martyrs (suicide bombers) would be appropriate, and you would support it?

    Saudis have condemned suicide bombings for decades.. The telethon was to raise money for the Palestinian people .. anyone who has lost property , homes loved ones to Israeli aggression is Shaheed... meaning martyrs. .. Its not about "suicide bombers".. although the Israelis reinvented the term to mean suicide bombers.. Its true meaning is "witness".

    The booze wars were November of 2000 because the Brits wanted to make it appear that Palestinians in KSA were setting off bombs.. It was part of Operation Mass Appeal to sell the Iraq war to the British people.

    Now Bahrain and Sudan have severed diplomatic relationship with Iran. Oh, and oil is up, too.

    Method to the madness?

    Saudi Booze War.

    My timing was off.. The British booze war bombings happened in 2002.

    Sorry, but this is not true!

    Even I don't trust Wikipedia not always or automatically, but here they write the pure truth:

    So .... even the Royal Family is fighting terrorists like ISIS, their population does not in general .... and here is this part of population important, which has power and money to do so! Ask yourself from where did Osama Bin Laden come again please?
    The general problem for the Royal Family is that they are victim of their own deep conservative sort of Islam and that they are not able to fight those elements in their country really which made this one step further ... without getting in civil war! Fact is that as far as no one "attacks" the authority of the Royal Family and the King in Saudi Arabia, he will not have problems when supporting scum like ISIS outside KSA!

    So, what's your point?
    You and your corporate father know more about the Saudi commitment to free speech than a former CIA thug?

    "The Saudis seem to think--and this is what most analysts say--that this rivalry with Iran is something that they are going to win, and they're going to fight it out.

    "And I've seen language... a vile kind of language, depicting: how dare these Persians dare have influence in the Arab world?

    "...and now with Iraq being under Iranian influence, a major oil and natural gas rival and so on, are the Saudis ready, willing?

    "And are they helping fire a Sunni-Shia civil war on a broad basis throughout this region?"

    Next up, Barack Obama's greatest foreign policy legacy: a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.

    Geopolitical situations usually will triumph internal ones. Global strategies, security, goals cause a lot of things to be overlooked. It has always been that way. Allies usually come about by mutual needs and enemies or fears on the world stage.

    You believe this has been the situation for 1,400 years?
    What I gave you was a link. If you read it and come back then we can talk but the belief with which you appear to be agreeing that Shia-Sunni have been at war for 1,400 year is indeed a myth and it is somewhat sad that when presented with information that someone just refuses to look but carries on with their mistaken view. You may keep that view but it comes from ignorance.

    Here is the link again

    The myth of the 1,400 year Sunni-Shia war

    We all are learning and so have only a partial or ignorant view. However just to rewrite your inherited wrong view without investigation...well.

    IN the 70's and in a gated community... Thanks for playing...

    Why, the US don't buys oil from them. And we would make a lot of $$$ at $200 a barrel.

    Our Oil companies will boom like crazy, and green tech will be economically feasible.

    - - - Updated - - -

    better military but no way to invade or attack SA, while SA is protected by the US. This will always be a proxy war, just on a larger scale.

    That is the only thing saving the Saud right now.....that they are protected by the US.

    We really do need to stop that BS.....and from now on. Start collecting some protection fees. Or just take what the Saud has.....they couldn't do a damn thing about it.

    Take what they have? LOLOL.. Are we thieves? Like our military could operate the most high tech, efficient oil company in the world.. Sounds like the Neocon pipe dream that brought on the Iraq debacle..

    To bad I am not a Neo Con.....as if I were. I would have already took All from the Saud and left them as they should be. Nothing but the King of the Goat-herders.

    Like we would rely on the military to handle that business which we taught the Saud how to handle.
