Saudi Warplanes Moved Closer To Israel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Big News Network.com Friday 5th September, 2003

In a move seen as a potential threat to Israel, Saudi Arabia has transferred much of its F-15 warplane fleet to a Northern base at Tabuk.

Israeli defense sources told Middle East Newsline, the F-15s were transferred on the eve of the U.S.-led war in Iraq in March, to protect them against Iraqi air or missile attack. But since then the kingdom has refused to return the F-15s to their original bases, in central and eastern Saudi Arabia, despite the fall of the regime of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, in April.

The United States had asked the Saudi kingdom to return the F-15s to their bases, the report said. The U.S. request reportedly was prompted by Israeli concern the F-15s present a military threat, to the Jewish state

13. There are certain topics that are "OFF-LIMITS" in LBN...

There are certain topics that are "OFF-LIMITS" in DU's
"Late Breaking News" section. Apparently, the truth
offends the delicate sensibilities of certain people,
and when their sensibilities are offended, they're
very persistently vocal about it, so those topics
are banished to fora other than LBN.

15. Apparently most, if not all, US media has that same rule

I did a search on Google News for Israel, sifted through 7 pages and found nothing on the Israeli/Lebanon situation. I then did a search on Google News for Lebanon and this was the 2nd story posted:

http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_362759,00050004.htm :

"Lebanon will lodge a complaint with the UN Security Council against Israel for its bombardment of Hezbollah positions and continued violations of Lebanese airspace, a foreign ministry source said on Thursday"

7. I guess we got our troops

Out of Saudi Arabia just in time. Now we can invade Saudi because they are brutal dictators, who are developing WMD's and who are a threat to US (excuse me, Israeli) interests.

8. Poor Simian

His two pals are fighting. Sharon and the house of Saud. One holds the key to the land of the Rapture and the other holds the key to the worldly riches the BFEE craves.

Should be fun to see what Chimpy's choices on this matter will be.

My guess is that Bush will side with the House of Saud. That's where the money is.
