Al-Qaeda’s gonna destabilize Soddy Arabia | ||||||||
2003-12-11 | ||||||||
The al-Qaida terrorist network has decided to intensify its efforts to foment instability in Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil producer, and overthrow the royal family, warns a new top-secret CIA assessment. The CIA Intelligence Memorandum, portions of which have been provided to President Bush, was described by intelligence and other officials on the condition that they not be identified because the document is highly classified. Moreover, there is some concern that disclosing the assessment could anger Saudi officials, they said.

#3 Fred inserted an editorial note into one of the Rantburg Classics that bears repeating: "Even better: hundreds of turbans, giving each other the hairy eyeball, the while fondling their weapons... " Actually there's been any number of posts where this would apply. Hiram Maxim moved to England and planned to make his fortune in electrical appliances. An acquaintence told him, "That's no way to get rich. Invent something to help those Europeans kill each other faster. That's where the money is!" Maxim took the advice and invented the machine gun. |

#2 Hyper-- Dittoes! I am right now making out a check to my favorite *Islamic charity* hoping it will help the binoids topple the House of Saud. Since when that happens, .Com's Raiders will have all the reason they need to secure the eastern oil fields, thereby cutting off the head of the snake. P.S. The good thing about having hatred-driven loonies as your enemy is that they tend to be a bit weak on the "strategy side", preferring to lash out for the sake of lashing out, damn the torpedoes when it comes to real world consequences. Go binoids! |

#1 Cool! Finally, al-Qaida doing some good: "Serious instability in Saudi Arabia could disrupt the kingdom’s petroleum exports, drive up world oil prices and cripple the U.S. economy..." ...like the USA would let that happen. I say let the house of Saud burn down. We'd have no choice but to take over the oil fields, and splat any charging al-Qaidamites into the desert sand. Fuck. Them. |
