#1 I don't think enough people appreciate that if we jam a big enough branch between the spokes, the wheel stops turning and the hub is frozen in place...

#2 Points for the British officials who were willing to point out the obvious. The shock musta been from the expectation that the usual suspects would roll over and take it graciously. That's the behavior of the American government when it comes to the death and destruction wrought upon its citizens by the illegals from places like Mexico. Treat visiting Mexican officials like ~~fellow rulers of the unwashed masses~~ long lost family, rather than the people responsible for dumping their unskilled, uneducated, unwanted upon American, in order to resist reform and retain power.

#4 Saudi influence in Pakistan is enough to show what a dangerous world these wahabbist are creating!!!!!

They are kept in yellow jumpsuits in a separate, windowless compound after they attempted to impose sharia on the other detainees and preached an extreme form of Wahhabist Islam.

Yet another good reason to hold all suspected and convicted terrorists in solitary confinement.

Sheikh Saleh al-Luhaidan, the chief justice, who oversees terrorist trials, was recorded on tape in a mosque in 2004, encouraging young men to fight in Iraq. Entering Iraq has become risky now, he cautioned. It requires avoiding those evil satellites and those drone aircraft, which own every corner of the skies over Iraq. If someone knows that he is capable of entering Iraq in order to join the fight, and if his intention is to raise up the word of God, then he is free to do so.

Isn't it kind of odd to hear a the chief justice of a country that relies quite heavily upon American military technology decry its effectiveness in thwarting terrorism? What that tells me is Saudi Arabia would like nothing better than to turn that same technology directly against America. Due to perennial Muslim incompetence they are in no position to use their American supplied arms to do so. Instead, they send their young extremists to fly fully loaded passenger jet airliners into our occupied skyscrapers.

Can there really be any doubt that if they had nuclear weapons we might have already been attacked with one?

So here we have a member of the Soddy government encouraging young Soddies to run away to fight us infidels. He's doing so in a state-funded mosque, and his pay check is from the state. But, really, it's not a matter of state policy. I'm not sure my mind is limber enough to envelop that idea.

This is nothing more or less than a formal declaration of war by the Saudi government and it should be treated exactly as that. In typical Islamic fashion, the Saudis want all the perks of being an honest player on the world stage whileat the same exact timeconducting its own subversive terrorist agenda. This is taqiyya writ large and epitomizes the Saudi'sand general Muslim population'ssense of entitlement.

The current instability in Pakistan places it in priority of intervention directly behind Iran. After those two snake pits, it is Saudi Arabia that must be taken to task. None of this evil is going to stop until the House of Saud is smashed relentlessly and finally. If this requires destroying the shrines at Mecca and Medina, I no longer oppose such a notion. I have railed against it in the past, but Islam is of such an overwhelmingly evil nature that its time on earth has run out.

#6 The tool used in that particular attack was Soddy Hezbollah, if I remember correctly, which kinda proves my contention that all Islamic terrorism is one -- the terrorism part is more important than the Islamic part.

I also meant to comment on this as it was one of Fred's most important observations. Many people still dispute the monolithic character of Islam. The fundamentally evil nature of terrorismand how it is almost universally embraced by the Islamic worldmakes Muslims collectively responsible for it. By permitting this one underlying theme of violent predation upon innocents to permeate their creed, they universally forfeit any legitimacy in the eyes of the outside world.

#7 In the end it's not so much Religion as using "Religion" as a means to absolute power. Go read Frank Herbert's "Dune". Spice = oil=power.
