1. Well, I don't think it's actually going to happen

3. This is no surprise to those of us who saw the House of Bush and the House
of Saud operate for decades covertly funding global terrorism and dealing arms, running, drugs, and laundering money - it's what BCCI was all about.

12. I'm guessing they've been acting like drunkin sailors on
48 hour leave for the past 6 years, and the bill finally came due. (No offense to the drunken sailors out there).
