Saudi Insurgents in Iraq

Of course in order to comply with the bush agenda we must all be trained to believe that it is the Iranians that are the problem.

Why Is the White House Pretending That Saudi Insurgents in Iraq Are Iranian?
By Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!. Posted July 20, 2007.

Nearly half of all foreign militants targeting U.S. troops in Iraq have come from Saudi Arabia -- an inconvenient truth for the White House papered over with the lie that Iran is the chief instigator.

The Los Angeles Times is reporting nearly half of all foreign militants targeting U.S. troops in Iraq have come from Saudi Arabia – one of Washington's closest allies in the Middle East. U.S. officials have so far refused to publicly criticize Saudi Arabia's role in Iraq, focusing instead on Iran. Democracy Now! spoke with an L.A. Times correspondent in Iraq, Ned Parker, and Toby Jones, a former Persian Gulf analyst with the International Crisis Group and history professor at Rutgers University.

1. Well there it is!
Proof positive that every time you fill your Hummer up, you are now sponsoring terrorists!

Bush will now have to include us in the axis of evil, and bomb this country. :nuke:

3. A Saudi VIP said so on a Frontline show on PBS
They openly admitted to being the largest group causing problems in Iraq. I remember posting about it here that night, and I think it is probably still online.
