  • Rand Simberg writes thoughtfully on the implications of the fact that we've been at war with the Saudis for thirty years and only just noticed the fact seven months ago.
    That's a point I've made before and come back to time after time. It's a point that's become more and more obvious to anyone who reads Rantburg or LGF (preferably both, of course) on a regular basis. There are two main terror centers pushing Islamofascism: Palestine and Pakistan. Palestine has Hamas, and it's funded by the Saudis. Pakistan has its excellent network of madrassahs and they're funded by the Saudis. Smaller centers like Indonesia and the Philippines have nascent clones of these two areas, and they're funded by the Saudis. Binny is a Saudi loose cannon, jumping the gun on them because he was convinced mujaheddin could take on the West and win. He's a Saudi, and the men behind him were Saudi clerics - and princes. The Real Enemy is finding it increasingly difficult to hide.
    Yup. Follow the money, and the bodies. It isn't accidental that the majority of the Black Tuesday shahids were Saudi nationals, nor is it coincidental that the Afghani and Pak madrassahs were funded by Saudi money, nor is it coincidental that payment to the brave shaheeds of the noble Palestinian attacks on discos, supermarkets, and seders come from Saudi Arabia.

    The good news is that the Saudi nut will be the easiest to crack, given the will -- the 82nd Airborne could do it in about a day, or a platoon of Marines could do it in a lazy afternoon. The bad news is that the considerable money and political influence of the Saudis is quite carefully directed at keeping that subject off the table.
