Is it just me or am I missing something...

Saudi Arabia produces 19 of the 21 hijackers that attacked us on 9/11. Saudi Arabia continues to be a safe haven for terrorists and the Bin Laden family continues to grant Osama Bin Laden financial aid while certain members of the Saudi Royal family continue to openly support radical islamic ideology in Saudi Arabia.

The Taliban visited Texas for talks with Unocal executives, Hamid Karzai and Khalilzaid, about construction of pipelines through Afghanistan in 1997 during Bush's tenure as Governor, even though Afghanistan and, more specifically, the Taliban regime had sanctions placed on them by the United States and the United Nations for aiding and harboring terrorists.

The Bush family did business with the Bin Laden family and Saudi Royalty prior to 9/11 and continues to do business with the Bin Laden family and Saudi Royalty, even though Saudi Arabia is producing more international terrorists than any other nation in the Middle East.

Is it just me or does this seem to be a severe CONFLICT OF INTEREST!!! Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems this would be a perfect example of aiding the enemy, which is a treasonous act. How do we make it clear to the freepers, that Bush is aiding the enemy and committing treason against the people of the United States?

Well, I came up with this idea.... DEMAND MILITARY ACTION AGAINST SAUDI ARABIA!!! Post it on free republic. Write your senators and representatives, write the CIA and write the Pentagon. 19 of the 21 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia continues to openly support terrorist activities around the world and continues to promote radical islamic ideology within their own state. Much of the insurgence in Iraq is derived from terrorists coming over from Saudi Arabia, while Al Qaeda continues to receive financial support from members of the Saudi Royal family and the Bin Laden family.

Start pounding "Saudi Arabia's the enemy" in their heads because "People in Saudi Arabia ARE OUR ENEMY!!!" They're the ones that bombed us on 9/11 and they're the ones that continue to support international terrorism organizations.

When Bush starts running his song and dance about how they're the good Bin Ladens and the Saudi Royal family's our ally, the freepers will begin to see what a traitorous and treasonous f#<k Bush really is. We should be waging war on Saudi Arabia... not Iraq, and currently this administration is aiding the enemy by redirecting our intelligence resources and military resources away from our enemy... Saudi Arabia.

Start pumping military action against Saudi Arabia. After all, if any country deserves retaliation for 9/11.... Saudi Arabia does and everybody knows it. Force Bush to make a decision... Is he going to protect his family's financiers in Saudi Arabia or the American people? Force him to implicate himself as a traitor to the people of the United States because... HE IS!!!!

1. I don't think it is a good idea to pump war fever

against anybody.

Would be good to know which side Bush* is on, though.

2. Would be good to know which side Bush is on....

However, he doesn't have to choose a side if you don't put him in a position of having to choose. That means military action against Saudi Arabia and sanctions on Saudi Arabia have to be pushed. If you don't put Bush and this administration in a position of having to choose, they'll continue to give us a song and a dance while terrorists from Saudi Arabia continue to wreak havoc on U.S. targets around the world.

13. That just F@

Screw Syria, screw Iran... I want those a$$holes in Saudi Arabia. Why can't the people in this country see that Saudi Arabia is our enemy. They're the ones doing the terrorist type of attacks.

3. What you're missing is

the neoconservative philosophy. "The end justifies the means." They will use ANY fundamentalist religion, they don't care, to accomplish their goal of imperialism and hegemony. They use Christianity as an election tool and fundamentalist Islam as their terrorism tool all for the goal of global imperialism--spreading raw capitalism, controlling the world's resources at the expense of the human condition. At least that's what I've read. In this context, it all makes sense. "The end justifies the means."

5. I'm not missing that....

What I'm missing is this.... How can people not see this administration's personal financial interest in the Bin Laden family and the Saudi Royalty as a severe conflict of interest. Don't people get fired for having these kind of conflicts of interest???? Doesn't the financial involvement with the Saudis who promote terrorist attacks on U.S. targets seem to be a treasonous act???

7. People don't see it

Because they don't even KNOW about it. Heck, some huge percentage of the US population still thinks Iraq was responsible for 9/11. <sarcasm> How are they supposed to know about and understand the nuance of Saudi involvement and financing and ties to the US gov't? </sarcasm>

People are very uninformed or misinformed about things like this, and the media certainly isn't helping.

8. I don't know. Perhaps some think of it as

an asset to have the inside connections maybe to gain information or something of that nature. It's all in a business mind, I guess. It seems the business mind, many times, is really corrupt these days.

Why others don't see it or refuse to believe it, I have no answers. I guess they want to live in their own little world and don't have the time nor the desire to seek out these things. I sure wish they would.

10. it's not on FOX

nor on any of the other mass media outlets, for the most part.

4. It seems pretty surreal to me most of the time. Ignorance is Strength.

After all, two of OBL's published goals were to get Saddam out of power (he was seen as too secular) and U.S. troops out of Saudi Arabia, and since 9/11, those have been accomplished.

9. House of Saud OWNS the Bush Family. Period.

[ThorsHammer]

11. "House of Bush, House of Saud" is a great book (nt)

[donheld]

14. "House of Bush, House of Saud"

Should be read by every reader/member of DU.

12. bin Laden doesn't like the Saudi government either

The Saudi government has allowed the U.S. to base troops in their country, desecrating the holy land. Saudi Arabia supplies the U.S. with oil at bargain prices, providing support for what are seen as the anti-Muslim policies of the U.S. Finally the Saudi royal family lives a life of extravagant luxury while millions of Muslims in the country suffer and live under less-than democratic rule.
