#1 It sounds to me as though this actually pretty canny on the part of the princes, since it keeps the hard boyz from wandering off the reservation the way they did in 2003 and redirects their attention away from the House of Saud and up towards the north.

That said, if the Saudis really want to know how to fight terrorism they should be looking to the northeast.

#3 Translation. We have convinced them to leave the KSA and plan on funding their Jihad in Iraq.

#4 For this kind of BS, how about a graphic of the Brooklyn bridge with a "for sale" sign?

#5 What were the stats on the Iraq election day bombers? 6 Saudis, 1 Sudanese, and 1 retarded Iraqi man-child. Even the man-child knew something was wrong and foiled the terrorists plans. Can't say as much for the Saudis.

#6 Since a triple suicide bombing in Riyadh in May 2003, the Kingdom has cracked down on Al-Qaeda militants and the religious scholars who have publicly supported them.

"Not us, you eedeeyots! The infidels! THE INFIDELS!!!"

#7 I think we should celebrate with a few fireworks - 10Mt on Mecca, Medina, Riyadh, Dahran, Jedda, and whatever other camel-crossings we can find. I'm sure that will go a long way in "helping the Saudis solve the terrorism problem".

#8 Fred, OP, etc., I think y'all are being way too cynical.

I personally find it funny that there are Saudis trying, in however deficient a manner, to change the ideology of the terrorists, because too many people, in both Western Europe and the US, have given up on the idea, which kinda sorta gives the impression that we either think it's right or wrong but too powerful to fight.
