BlankI've been calling the Saudi's two-faced for a few years
now....
.......really makes one wonder, what is going on behind the
[Bushshite]
curtains......
...listening to reports, you will have heard, that for the first
time in the IRAQ[II] war, that the insurgents have only been
successful in shooting down ushelicopters, in the past two months.
Before that, the Americans/Brits have beenflying largely
unscathed....That, however, has dramatically changed. Why, youmight
inquire......
While I've discussed this theory via private circles, this is
the first I've seenof it in the "main" stream media.
Cheers...todd

War On Terror: We get the sense the Saudis grin and kiss us on
both cheeks when wewalk into their palaces, then spit on the ground
the moment we leave. The latest
affront is over Iraq.
It turns out our "close ally" King Abdullah, in a speech before
fellow Arabs, hascondemned our presence there as "illegitimate."
The harsh tone shocked U.S.officials who were under the impression
the king was cooperating with our efforts.
"In beloved Iraq, blood is shed among brothers in the shadow of
an illegitimateforeign occupation," Abdullah carped at the annual
Arab summit in Riyadh.
Such a statement could have come from the lips of Saddam
Hussein, who threatenedAbdullah's regime. But removing that threat
next door apparently wasn't goodenough for Abdullah. He wants us
infidels to remove ourselves, before the job isfinished.
The slight proves again our ally's duplicity, and our own
naivete in continuing totrust him. It's not merely an issue of
semantics.
We actually thought the Saudis might have our backs in Iraq. But
the reality maybe that they're working against us there and may
even be sponsoring the insurgents killing our troops. Abdullah's
remarks add weight to reports that Saudiis funding the insurgency
next door.
As we've noted, the Iraq Study Group, in a throwaway line deep
in its report,stated that "funding for the Sunni insurgency comes
from private individuals

within Saudi Arabia." Separately, the Associated Press has
reported that theSaudis are "giving millions to Sunni insurgents in
Iraq and much of the money isused to buy weapons, including
shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles."
Sunni fighters say they've bought stockpiles of Strela
missiles

with the Saudi cash. Strelas have been blamed in a series of
attacks on U.S.helicopters in Iraq, including a CH46 Sea Knight
shot down over Anbar province,which borders Saudi Arabia.
The Saudis also are manning the insurgency, something we've been
pointing out forthe past two years. Pentagon figures show the vast
majority of suicide attackersand foreign terrorists inside Iraq are
Saudi citizens.
If King Abdullah shares the jihadists' view that we are infidel
occupiers, itshould come as no surprise that he would give the nod
to their attacks on ourtroops. No less than the chief justice of
Saudi Arabia's Supreme Judicial Councilhas been taped exhorting
young Muslims to go to Iraq to wage jihad against U.S.forces.
Americans know precious little about the man we're depending on
to help fight al-Qaida and other Muslim terrorists in Saudi Arabia.
Who is King Abdullah? Forstarters, he's much more devout than his
late brother, King Fahd. Last year heordered Saudi newspapers to
stop publishing pictures of women. He's also a Jew-hating hothead,
seeing "Zionist hands" behind everything bad.
Not surprisingly, he supports Hamas and has let the terror group
set up offices inSaudi Arabia. He also has OK'd fundraisers for
families of Palestinian suicidebombers.
Last week, the king called for an end to the international
boycott of the newPalestinian government. The U.S. and Israel want
the boycott continued. Abdullah
also abruptly canceled an appearance at a White House dinner set
this month in hishonor.
It's worth remembering that Abdullah also turned down an
invitation to the WhiteHouse less than four months before the 9/11
attacks. Then, as now, he was angryPresident Bush was siding too
closely with Israel over the Palestinian issue.
Within a few weeks of 9/11, Abdullah cut off ties to Washington,
shocking the Bushadministration. "From now on, we will protect our
national interests," he told theWhite House through his ambassador,
"regardless of where America's interests liein the region."
In essence, he was warning that from that day forward Saudis
would go their way,
and Americans could go to hell.
The major unanswered question of 9/11 is just what was the full
extent of SaudiArabia's role. What did Abdullah know, and when did
he know it?
After 9/11, the Saudis expressed shock over the attacks, and
vowed to help usfight the terror network they funded from its
infancy. But since then, all signsindicate the Saudi government
still sponsors terror.
Sadly, the White House has continued to reward it. Abdullah
asked for entry intothe WTO and got it. He asked for visas to
deploy 20,000 more young Saudi men here,
