Saudis Caution Myers on Iraq Terrorists |
2005-03-16 |
Senior Saudi defense officials expressed concern to the U.S. military's top general on Wednesday about terrorists in Iraq crossing the border into Saudi territory. Gotta make the commute before evening prayer. Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said after meeting with Prince Khalid bin Sultan, the deputy defense minister, and other officials in the Saudi capital that he was unsure whether significant numbers of terrorists were infiltrating. Boo, effin' hoo. Sorry. Can't do much when they flash their Saudi passports at the border crossing. But he added, "Certainly the potential is there and I think the incentive is there as well, so it's something we have to worry about." A far bigger problem, Myers said, is a continuing influx of foreign fighters and terrorists from Syria to Iraq. The reverse commute is a b!tch and accidents are frequent. Rest at link. |

#1 Not our problem when the Saudi terrorists rotate home at the end of their tour. If we were to capture and/or kill the Saudi terrorists, the kingdom would be very upset at our treatment of their nationals. Maybe at this point, the Iraqis would be better served by expelling all Saudis. |
