Foreign Policy for $100, Alex. Answer is: Fund them - Use them - Kill them

What favored tactic did the Saudis learn from Poppy Bush in regard to dealing with terrorists?




Saudi forces kill kingdom’s top al-Qaeda leader
By Roula Khalaf in London

Saudi Arabia’s interior ministry said on Thursday the country’s top al-Qaeda suspect had been killed in a clash with police, two weeks after the US warned of imminent attacks in the world’s largest oil producer.

Saleh al-Awfi, 38, thought to have taken over the leadership of al-Qaeda cells in Saudi Arabia last year, was among four militants killed in police raids in the holy city of Medina and Riyadh, according to the interior ministry.

The elimination of the chief militant suspect deals a new blow to the organisation’s structure in the kingdom. But Thursday’s raids also highlight the security challenge facing King Abdullah, who took over the Saudi leadership this month after the death of his brother Fahd. The new monarch was on his way to Medina for meetings with clerics and tribal leaders when police stormed suspected al-Qaeda hideouts in the city, killing Awfi.

It was unclear on Thursday whether the authorities’ actions had disrupted plans for fresh attacks. Earlier this month the US and UK warned that al-Qaeda militants were in the final stages of planning new violence. The US closed its diplomatic missions in the kingdom for two days and Saudi security forces announced they had discovered an arms cache near Riyadh

1. You could answer that two ways and it would be correct:
What are the terrorists?

or

What are U.S. soldiers?

2. Fund them - Use them - Kill them
That cycle has been going on for 40 fricken' years. When is the machine going to breakdown? You are so absolutely right....Saudi copied a page from the CIA Ops manual Poppy developed in South America.

We take out the House of Saud and the House of Bush...watch Al-Qaeda melt into an easiy managed police/criminal action for the world.

3. Without the House of Saud and the Bush Family, this world would be a
helluva lot healthier.

And they are so twisted they have convinced themselves that the world can't exist without their manipulations.

Hmmmm....just like RevMoon thinks about HIMself.
