#1 Those wacky Saudis are at it again. Who gives a shit about al Qaeda? Somehow, the Saudis just keep popping up on radar wherever we turn. Time to bust loose some salvoes on them once we're finished with Iran and Pakistan.

#2 Saudis travel to Syria to attack an American embassay. Wouldn't it have been more convenient for them to attack one of our embassies in Saudi Arabia?

It would shred their last tatters of any plausible deniability.

As long as they've all that oil, nothing can shred their plausible deniability.

I call bullshit. Just one more 9-11 and the House of Saud will be a smoking crater. NO sitting president could ignore such provocation.

Ummm ... well, they sort of did when they attacked the American Cousulate in Jeddah back around December of '04 or '05, I forget which year exactly.

#11 It was December 7, 2004

#12 One correction to the thread - these were Syrians who had been working in Saudi Arabia, not Saudis. I'd believe they'd been "encouraged" by the wahabbi "holy man" they'd been listening to, so there is still some fault with SA. It's still enema time in the magic kingdom.
