Wait, you mean the insurgents are from Saudi Arabia

Although Bush administration officials have frequently lashed out at Syria and Iran, accusing it of helping insurgents and militias here, the largest number of foreign fighters and suicide bombers in Iraq come from a third neighbor, Saudi Arabia, according to a senior U.S. military officer and Iraqi lawmakers.

    Did all of you miss the pres and the prince holding hands and kissing? Need I say more…..

    Osama demanded Saudi Arabia run the U.S. bases out of the country (and maybe a couple other demands too…do any readers remember what they were?). Anyway he got what he wanted from his cousins in the SA government and still he devised one of the cheeziest (sp?) plans ever when his Saudi ‘brothers’ fly into the towers.

    As momma used to say ‘Give ’em an inch they’ll take a yard.

    The Carlylse Group won’t like us taking bad about their little friends in the desert. If we ever woke up to the real threat to ‘murica the Bush Family might stop making money hand over fist off this war. The Bush Family Creed – War Profiteers For More Than A Century.

    Jason,
    You beat me to the punch. I read the ‘jokers to the right’ post 3 times and I don’t understand what is suppose to contradict what. There was a Op-Ed in the NYT on 8 July and the NIE document from yesterday, but I don’t see any blatant contradiction.

    Perhaps if they stop looking for typos, misspelling and errors in syntax they could make a salient point. As it is, this looks like more GOP subterfuge.

    My name is ryan and I don’t have a point, but I will try and make one

    by the way, did you know that I believe in the bible literally? But I make my own interprations of what literally is…so I don’t look like a quack….

    On the bible, literally interperted (Hitchens in Saturday’s Washington Post).

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/13/AR2007071301461.html

    Summary quote:
    “Those of us who disbelieve in the heavenly dictatorship also reject many of its immoral teachings, which have at different times included the slaughter of other “tribes,” the enslavement of the survivors, the mutilation of the genitalia of children, the burning of witches, the condemnation of sexual “deviants” and the eating of certain foods, the opposition to innovations in science and medicine, the mad doctrine of predestination, the deranged accusation against all Jews of the crime of “deicide,” the absurdity of “Limbo,” the horror of suicide-bombing and jihad, and the ethically dubious notion of vicarious redemption by human sacrifice.

    Of course Gerson will — and must — cherry-pick this list (which is by no means exhaustive) and patter on about how one mustn’t be too literal. But in doing this, he makes a huge concession to the ethical humanism to which he so loftily condescends. The game is given away by his own use of G.K. Chesterton’s invocation of Thor. We laugh at this dead god, but were not Norse children told that without Valhalla there would be no courage and no moral example? Isn’t it true that Louis Farrakhan’s crackpot racist group gets young people off drugs? Doesn’t Hamas claim to provide social services to the downtrodden? If you credit any one religion with motivating good deeds, how (without declaring yourself to be sectarian) can you avoid crediting them all? And is not endless warfare between the faiths to be added to the list of horrors I just mentioned? Just look at how the “faith-based” are behaving in today’s Iraq.”

    going back to comment 4 and response 6:

    Has the right, jokers included, defended the indefensible for so long, that all logic and coherence has escaped them?

    That “non sequitur” needs some filling. We seek to understand…….

    Hitchens has a good mind. Too bad he drank the “we must attack Iraq” kool-aid.

    remix: #1

    Life in Saudi Arabia is horrible for the common man. It’s ok if you were sired by a king. Due to the closeness of America to the Royal Family, The prince is a “very good” friend of George W“, attacking the United States is paramount to attacking the Saudi regime, at least in there eyes.
