Saudi Arabia Backed 9/11

Now did we really need a
900 page document to figure that out? If 15 of the murdering hijackers were from Saudi...isn't that a good clue?

I like this part from the article:

"If this comes out, it will blow the top off the relations with (the Saudi) government because the American people will just be outraged," said one source familiar with the report. "We invaded Iraq for something tangential. And here we have a government whose senior leaders have very direct, very extensive links to the hijackers, to the actual people who got on the planes and flew them into those buildings.

"People don't know how much is in there and how specific it is," the source said. "The public hasn't gotten anywhere near the meat of it."

Isn't it becoming abundantly clear why we needed Iraq's oil?

How fast is our military bases in Iraq going up?

I know, I know, I have convoluted thinking right? Do I?

I have long believed that one reason we went to Iraq is so we could specifically have a perch in the region from which to breath heavily down the necks of the Saudis, the Iranians, and the Syrians. Invading Saudi Arabia would have been much more difficult to pull off, but from where we sit now we're in a perfect position to pressure them for more concessions and assistance.

I take the Bush administration at its word when it says we have received help from the Saudis, but I expect them to be even more demanding of the Saudis in the coming months.

I have a feeling the Saudis will be happy (publicly) to comply also.
