#1 The U.S.-led war in Iraq is the biggest factor in radicalizing Saudi youths, according to a Saudi government report.

Of course, the kingdom's wide spread teaching of violent Wahabbism has absolutely nothing to do with "radicalizing Saudi youths". Perish the thought.

"In Saudi Arabia, al-Qaida has been destroyed as an organization,"

Even as your royals continue to fund it. What am I to believe?

"What is happening now is a battle, a war, of ideas."

Two lies and now, surprisingly, a fact. Oops, merely a misrepresentation couched in proper language. To paraphrase Albert Einstein: You cannot simultaneously fund and prevent terrorism. Saudi duplicity will one day find the royals charred in their beds.

... the rehabilitation program ... illustrates the conservative Saudi monarchy's confused policies - it turns a blind eye to the radical teachings of prominent clerics but prosecutes young Saudis who put those lessons into practice.

See the above paraphrase. Saudi Arabia is reaping the whirlwind that have worked so diligently to sow. We owe it to ourselves to ensure that the House of Saud is struck by a cyclone. While the unacceptable meddling and proxy wars of Iran's Islamic theocracy have more noticeable consequences, the global tentacles of Saudi terrorist funding and indoctrination pose a problem of far greater magnitude. One by one these treacherous regimes must be toppled and made to pay for their perfidy.

#3 Well, as young Soddies are hopelessly sex deprived, they may be willing to swap 72 vergins in thereafter for one or 4 at present.

Zen... right about the Soddy king/princelings duplicity and a payback one day.

#4 ...detainees are emerging from the Guantanamo Bay prison camp and other U.S. detention centers more devoted than ever to radical Islam, Saudi Arabia is offering counseling, financial aid and even matchmaking to pull young militants away from terrorism.

There is only one fix.
