| US again advises citizens to leave Saudi Arabia |
| 2004-10-28 |
| The United States repeated on Wednesday its advice that private US citizens leave Saudi Arabia and a US official said Washington continued to receive general information about threats to Western interests in the kingdom. The United States has twice this year strongly urged US citizens to leave Saudi Arabia after attacks on Westerners in the world's largest oil exporter and pulled nonessential diplomats from its embassy in Riyadh. A US State Department official said the recommendation to Americans remains the same because the threats persist. "The embassy continues to receive information concerning potential threats to American and Western interests. We believed it was appropriate and in keeping with our no-double standards policy to make sure the general public had updated information," said the official who asked not to be named. The official stressed that the United States had not received any new information on a specific threat. |

#9 All the warnings that need to be issued have been issued. What needs to be communicated is the following:Anyone that decides to stay after the issuance of the previous notice stays at their own risk, and in the event of being taken hostage, no efforts will be made to secure their safe release. That is all. |

| #8 We should pull EVERYONE out of that sh*thole and let it implode. Then jointly manage the area with the Russians and whomever else understands that there's no such thing as a peaceful Islamic regime. |

| #5 I always chuckle when I read the thing about pulling the "nonessential diplomats" I mean, what if you didn't send them in the first place? :-) |

| #4 I hope they were at least courteous enough to omit the "You morons! What were you thinking?" part. |

| #2 Not a good idea to be in any Muslim country when Bush wins. I'd stay away from Terayza and the sidewalk outside the NYT too. |
