US Congress invites Saudi Shura Council chief
2004-12-16
RIYADH — Dr Salih bin Abdalla bin Hameed, Chief of Saudi Shura Council, has received an invitation from Speaker of the US Congress, Denis Hestert. The message of the American Congress Head, being officialy circulated in Riyadh, stated that the kingdom is a friend of US "we are opting to have the opportunity to discuss many issues of mutual concern." The letter says.
That's interesting, I wonder what's on the agenda?
The head of American Congress expressed gratitute to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for co-operation in the wake of September 11 attacks. He said efforts of the kingdom for fighting terrorism are very clear. They make it difficult for terrorists to carry out their acts. "Recent terrorist attacks on some friendly countries indicate that terrorists are still capable of launching major acts. This requires us be careful and work to stop acts of terrorists," said the American Congress Head.
The invitation was delivered by an American delegation recently visiting Saudi Arabia. United States has, on Tuesday, expessed fear of further anti-American terrorist actions in the Saudi Arabia following the Al Qaeda claimed attacks, on Monday on the American Consulate in Jeddah.

#2  This thing really wicks me off. Is Hestert on the payroll with them or what? Saudi is schectzophrenic. One side wants to cooperate, and the other side (Nayaf and Co) plays games with jihadis. Their money finances mosques and madarassas worldwide, creating unrest and turning out more terrorists and suicide bombers. This Dr Salih bin Abdalla bin Hameed needs to hear an earful of of this and needs to be asked is he for or against us. Saudi Arabia needs a fundamental change if it is to survive, and I do not see it happening peacefully, given the royal's love for the status quo.
