#1 I'm not surprised that the Saudis are nervous. Didn't Cheney tell them if we got nuked Mecca would become glass?

#2 Useful inlines, 3dc. Did the vice president say such a thing as Thrairt Oppressor of the Lichtensteiners6029 suggests? I thought that was something Rantburgers only dreamt about.

#3 Thrairt Oppressor of the Lichtensteiners6029 does not sound like a man prone to exaggeration.

#4 Great inline. Like to jump on that wagon:
"..let alone that somebody sitting in a place like Tora Bora [in Afghanistan] could guess where they are,"
It isn't a guess if someone tells them where are.

King Abdullah's recent groundbreaking visit to Pope Benedict XVI in the Vatican was also aimed at warning the West of the dangers of its policies towards the Middle East and the Islamic world.
Does that mean the writer thinks that the pope controls the governments of the west? What say you Protestants? Others?

He elaborated that Muslim ruling elites are as a result becoming marginalized from their people and thus the masses could not be controlled.
Not worried about a slave construction worker uprising are we? These ruling elites trump the behavior of government and/or tribal ethos?

#5 The House of Saud paid for Pakistan's nuke-jihad program. I have long suspected that the Sauds received some of the arsenal.
