#1 i thought the assailants were Nigerians.

I kinda doubt this is the Lebanese civil war being played out in Riyadh - I think thats just a Debka obsession.

Strategic rationale for attacking the compound is pretty obvious - frighten away the foreigners who make Saudi society function, so that it collapses.

Remember these were the guys who targeted Bali, apparently attempting to destroy the Indon tourist industry - who previously waged a war on Egypts tourist industry - and who targeted WTC both for symbolic value and corpse count, but also thinking they could take down the US economy. These people may be crazy, but theyre not thoroughly stupid at the strategic level.

#3 Look, I don't know if there were Lebanese responsible for the attack, but I did think it strange that a compound peopled by Arabs would be attacked, unless the foreigners were...not Muslim.

So the premise that Leb Christians were victims simply because of their religion is at least credible. After all, if it's one thing I learned while in the Magic Kingdom, it's that a true Wahibist looks at non-Muslim Arabs (who should know better) a whole lot more harshly than the typical non-Arab kuffur (who are just plain lost)

#4 but AQ considers most muslims who support the established regimes to be Kufrs, IIRC.

#7 If Al Quida has no respect towards Christmas holidays in the USA, then the next Ramanand in the U.S. or Saudi Arabia then maybe someone will drop the bomb on these bunch of dam Sand Niggers..
