| On Dec. 21, a terrorist blew himself up in the U.S. military mess hall in Mosul, in northern Iraq. Twenty-two people were killed, including U.S. soldiers and contractors. And now comes big news: The perpetrator was the oldest son of a diplomat from the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, our alleged ally in the War on Terror. On Monday, the Saudi-owned daily Asharq Al-Awsat identified the butcher responsible: 20-year old Ahmad Sayyid Ahmad al-Ghamdi, a Saudi medical student. |

| #5 In Friedman's book Secret War he describes the invasion of Iraq not in terms of defeating Saddam but more in terms of establishing a new American Base of operations in the Middle East. This Base or Al Qaeda depending on your dialect is to continue the pressure on Syria and Iran regarding their WMD crusade and to establish a "democracy" in the arab sense. This base of operations will do 4 things. 1. Remove an ongoing threat to the US security, Saddam. 2. Keep the pressure on Syria and Iran. Tough to manuever and hide WMD with a superpower in your backyard. 3. Pressure Saudi Arabia to definatively crack down on the militants, reform their government and shut down the salafist pulpits spewing out these violent jihadists. 4. If plan #3 fails a new source of oil from Iraq which we could invest in and possibly extract cheaper then Saudi Arabian oil. This in turn would dry up some of the money available to fund jihadist activities worldwide. Bush is not dump people. |

| #4 Instead, 26 prominent Saudi clerics, most of them paid by the regime, signed a fatwa on Nov. 5 calling for continued jihad against the United States and the new military and police structures in Iraq. None of the signatories — all of them adherents of Wahhabism, the official Islamic sect in Saudi Arabia — has been questioned or suspended from religious duties since the fatwa was issued. Since the official Islamic sect in Saudi Arabia is Wahhabism and they condone violence against the U.S., are not the Arabs our enemies? |
