Saudi Prince says unsecured Iraqi weapons are coming into

[Hoping4Change]

Saudi Arabia, posing serious and unanticipated problems. (The Prince's comments were reported by Dilip in a CBC Newsworld interview).


Terrorism Expert Dilip Hiro interviewed today on CBC Newsworld slammed the Bush administration for destabilizing the Middle East and for using terrorism for political ends.


Hiro also catagorically stated that Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan who has been touted as a computer engineer is no such thing. This he said was used to bolster the threat.


He also stated that Pakistan was under extreme pressure by the US to either send troops to Iraq or produce solid intel. Pakistan chose not to send troops but did arrest Khan July 13th and obeyed US directive to delay release information about the arrest of both Khan and Ahmed Ghailani until such time US deemed appropriate.

3. Osama desire revolution in Arabia. bush* has done everything Osama

wanted him to so Arabia will be vulnerable to revolution.

Osama wanted the US military out of Arabia. bush* oblidged. Osama wanted Saddam out of Iraq. busy* oblidged. Now Iraq is in chaos, more people hate the US and recruitment for fanatics is going well, arms can move throught the area more easily.

bush* is Osama's boy.

5. It is uncanny how true your comments are. And how telling that evil

found suitable hosts in both Osama and Bush.

6. GUNRUNNING OUT OF IRAQ/IWPR ...posted Tuesday

GUNRUNNING OUT OF IRAQ
By Mohammed Fawzi in Baghdad
Mohammed Fawzi is an IWPR trainee in Baghdad.

Weapons bought cheap in Iraq are sold for double the price in neighbouring Saudi Arabia.

Iraqi arms dealers have no shortage of domestic clients, but their latest and most lucrative market is Saudi Arabia, where increased demand for small arms has caused a spike in prices inside Iraq.

Abu Ahmed, an elderly man from Baghdad, has an eclectic local clientele for his gunrunning business, finding buyers among northern Kurds and southern Shia, as well as Sunnis from Fallujah and western Iraq.

"I make a lot of money easily," said Abu Ahmed, talking to an IWPR reporter posing as a buyer.

He attributes the booming Saudi market to recent attacks by Islamic militants there, which he said have undermined confidence in the Kingdom's ability to provide security or prevent even ordinary crimes such as kidnappings.

9. apparently unattended ..4 or 5 amo/ weapons dumps several miles square in

in Iraq.. just out in the desert...we don't have the personnel to guard them... or the means to destroy them :wf: :tinfoilhat:

[DoYouEverWonder]

10. So this is how the Sunni uprising

got so well armed. Look at the pictures from Iraq the last couple of days. There are men all over the streets carrying weapons. Nice of Bu$hCo to make sure the opposition was so well supplied.

11. But the mainstream press pointed that out last summer ...

... so it's no sudden revelation. The question is why *&co have done nothing about it: there are a lot of dead US troops as a result.

[Disturbed]

12. It is confusing.

The Neo Fasicsts play with many countries in contradictory ways.

Some Neo Fascists are advocating overthrowing the Saudi Royals while the Bush Crime family does billions of dollars of business with the Saudi Fat Cats.

Al Q. could destroy the Saudi Royals by blowing up their oil refineries but they don't do so. I suspect that it's because they want those for themselves when the Saudi Royals are diposed. Al Q. doesn't want to destroy America. They want America out of the ME. This they "hate us for our freedom" is Bushit! Al Q. wants Muslim Theocratic regimes in every ME country and they want to lower Israel to an impotent state and a Muslim Theocratic Palistine. It is indeed a Holy War.
