#2 Right on, gromgoru. Since the Brits have "revealed" (according to news reports I saw last night) they had a agent inside the plot, which struck me as particularly stupid to admit, the Paki claim is rather overstated, to say the least. Who knows how many versions of this operation will be in play next week.

#5 I would say:

1. Syria
2. NWFP i.e., Wazoo
3. Iran
4. Saudi princes

Taking out the Hizb enablier Syria cuts off Hizb.
NWFP rearranging of the funiture by air and some special ops neutralizes Binny's Boyz and the Taliban. Iran may we made unstable by Syria and the MMs can be taken out with their dinner jacket. And last but not least, Saudi financiers taken out would let the Pak madarassas and other nefarious enterprises die on the vien, which will start neutralizing Pakistan.

#6 AP, I agree in theory, but in truth, the best way to stop the entire nonsense is to stop the flow of money. That requires targeting the source first. My list:

Money/enablers:
1. Saudi Arabia } Tie
2. Iran }

Middlemen:
3. Syria
4. Hezbollah/Lebanon
5. Pakistan

Front-line troops:
6. Hezbollah/Hamas
7. NWFP/Taliban
8. Sudan
9. Somalia
10. Indonesia
11. Philippines/MILF-Abu Sayyaf
12. Malaysia
13. Bangladesh

Supporters:
13. Egypt
14. Libya

Whack 'em as listed.

#7 Oldspook, are you able to provide any comments or insight on the informal halawah money transfer system commonly used by many Arabs? About the only other modern comparison might be to the Korean pak system.

I regard halawah as being a primary conduit for laundering albeit small scale but numerous contributions to terrorist causes. While it is critical to sever the huge funding provided by the Saudis, halawah represents a gigantic swarm of malarial mosquitoes compared to the Saudi cockroach.
