1. Well, I will put my tin foil hat on and say. . .
. . .to keep Saudi Arabia from being looked at more carefully about its involvement in the whole 9/11 disaster, there will be a small "attack" in SA, a few people killed, so SA can act like it is a big victim, too, and not a participant. There is probably a lot of BFEE stuff dealing with SA that must remain hidden, so we must all be manipulated into feeling sorry for SA and giving them a pass.

2. I tend to agree with your assessment.
If terrorists were really going to try to hurt the US, another attack would be done on US territory. It doesn't make sense to me that they would attack SA or another Arab country in any meaniful way. But for sure, our economy and our emotions could not handle another attack on our own tera firma.

3. al-Qai'dah despises the Saudi royal family

argueably #1 on their hit list above anything else.

They view the royals as decadent hypocrites and corrupted slaves of western powers. An assessment I agree with, incidentally enough.

4. Hmmm...seems like we attacked the wrong country. Gee..
I wonder why? Could it be that the BFEE is "in bed" with the Saudis? Could it be that the Saudis have Trillions of dollars in our banks? Could it be that the Saudis would cut the oil off for us?

Nah...

5. That would mean that BFEE was in bed with both......

....the Saudi royals AND bin laden. Remember that bin laden worked for the BFEE (under poppy), and at the same time was taking money from the royals. Which means that maybe eveything we are told about all of them is as phoney as that $0.33 cent piece in my pocket.

We all ought to know by this time that anything involving the bush family is a lie. If it appears in public media it was put there by them, and means that we are again being manipulated.
