Treasury Chief: Saudis are Strong Allies {Guardian UK}
US Secretary of Treasury John Snow said that Saudi Arabia is a strong partner in the fight against terror. LOL!

2. Was it Osama and 15 of the nineteen 9-11 hijackers that Saudi Arabia
gave us, not to mention mucho money to fund al Queda ventures? But there I go bringing up such trifles.

3. I think he meant SA is a strong partner in terrorism.
These people are so incredibly sick. I have not a single doubt that the Bush Crime Family terrorists did 9-11 with the help of their terrorist friends.

4. Lets see about todays lies
Edited on Wed Sep-17-03 10:22 PM by jamesinca

Asked whether American investigators are given access to interview Saudi suspects, Snow said: ``The answer is yes.''

<SNIP>

Let us revisit history, the Iraqis were interviewed, but this was not good enough. Why is this good enough for the Saudis? What is it the Saudi Arabians are telling the U.S.? How is it more credible then what the Iraqis told the U.S.? How is it more credible then the lies that have been told to them by captured members of al-Quida? How is it more credible than the lies told by Afghan war lords? Is this the other half of the quid-pro-quo for taking the pages out of the 9/11 report?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I am getting it is they can interview these people, but talk is cheap!!!! As Elvis Presley once said " A little less conversation a little more action" Put another way, "put up or shut up".

Hamas thanked Saudi prince for aid: Paper

May I add this to the argument. I think it adds to some of the questions that I asked above.

6. Snow expects the Saudi's to help funding with the new Iraq army
and the Saudi's are considering a nuclear weapons program too.
Very reliable indeed are our stong allies, the Saudis.
