Saudi Arabia..."mums the word"...shhhhhh

[SHRED]

Saudi Arabia rated a bigger threat to Iraqi stability than Iran
Baghdad says it can contain influence of Shia neighbour, unlike powerful Gulf state that wants a return to Sunni dominance

~snippet~

"Iraqi contacts assess that the Saudi goal (and that of most other Sunni Arab states, to varying degrees) is to enhance Sunni influence, dilute Shia dominance and promote the formation of a weak and fractured Iraqi government."

Hill's unexpected assessment flies in the face of the conventional wisdom that Iranian activities, overt and covert, are the biggest obstacle to Iraq's development.

It feeds claims, prevalent after the 9/11 attacks, that religiously conservative, politically repressive Saudi Arabia, where most of the 9/11 terrorists came from, is the true enemy of the west.

...Saudi Arabia as a cashpoint for terrorists
Hillary Clinton memo highlights Gulf states' failure to block funding for groups like al-Qaida, Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiba

~snippet~

"More needs to be done since Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaida, the Taliban, LeT and other terrorist groups," says a secret December 2009 paper signed by the US secretary of state. Her memo urged US diplomats to redouble their efforts to stop Gulf money reaching extremists in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

"Donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide," she said.

And do we hear ANY critical look at Saudi Arabia from American TV and radio?
Nope and is a matter of fact we sell them WMD's.

1. Something long overdue is an expose on the ownership of America by

the Saudis, from media to industry to defense industries. I often wonder if those sheikhs aren't watching us and laughing their asses off.

2. Although it is not best, I find ammusement when they laugh at some things.

Outside of concepts of linear time, there is some satisfaction about people laughing at you when they are in the wrong.

Hard to explain, but when you are in a different concept and see things for what they are, you see last laugh also. Although that is a motivation to try and help them. Since last laugh has sadness with empathy. When people laugh at me and I am in the right, sometimes I think they have to laugh at me to help me with the heart ache of where some end up, so I can learn it is justified for them to end up there, but I know that can also break empathy, so try to avoid that. It is complicated but I understand that in a two tier result, complete empathy is an issue, so why I do not choose two tier 'ends' since it has the possible effect of creating a break of empathy, and most things that do that are not of better.

So I think in moderation, where everything will balance to a better result in the middle, but with a constant infusion of better to move things up together.

If you don't care about the prisoners, that is because you are a prisoner, it is for you too.
