Saudi Arabia says ready to beat militants from Iraq
RIYADH, July 10 (Reuters) Saudi militants returning from Iraq will be even tougher than the veterans of Afghanistan but the kingdom, which is battling a two-year wave of al Qaeda violence, is ready to defeat them, a senior minister said.

''We expect the worst from those who went to Iraq,'' Interior Minister Prince Nayef said in remarks published today. ''They will be worse, and we will be ready for them''.

Many of the Saudi militants who have carried out suicide bombings and attacks in the world's biggest oil exporter since May 2003 either fought Soviet occupation forces in Afghanistan in the 1980s or were trained in camps a decade later.

But a new generation of young Saudis drawn to the insurgency in neighbouring Iraq could return home armed with even deadlier combat skills. US officials warned last month that Iraq is producing better trained militants than Afghanistan.

1. Yeah, they'll buy them plane tickets and give them some money, and

send their asses over here like they did before.

[iconoclastic cat]

2. Why haven't the Repubs called for an invasion of SA?

Just curious.

[Disturbed]

3. "Bring it on."

Yeah.... right.

4. It's time for the US and SA to be honest with everyone about what

they have done to piss off Al Qaeda in the first. I know it's about oil but it's time to get it all out and then decide who the fucking bad guys are.

[Disturbed]

5. Are there really good guys and bad guys?

Seems to me that killing people is not a great way to solve problems. Yeah, billions of people down through the ages have disagreed with that notion.

6. We teach our kids not to use violence to solve their problems..

yet encourage them to go off to war for various reasons. Hmmm....
