| Pentagon briefing shakes Saudi rulers |
| 2002-08-09 |
| Sometimes there's more than two sides to a story. This is from the Balochistan Post... With one purposely leaked story suggesting Saudi Arabia as an âenemy of USAâ, the House of Saud is kneeling down begging that they were and are âloyal and trustedâ allies of United States and that some of their opponents wants to create a wedge between the Saudi Arabia and the United States. Oooh. I like that idea â the Soddies kneeling down, begging, attesting their loyalty and trustworthiness â Damn! I used "Soddies" and "trustworthy" in the same sentence and my lips fell off... The government which is responsible to lead the Muslims in their war against the new Crusade against Muslims was so upset that its embassy in Washington released a written statement of the Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal highlighting the alliance of the House of Saud with Americans during the last sixty years. So despite their protestations and grovelling, the Islamists have been seeing them all along as leading "the Muslims in their war against the new Crusade." I wonder where they mighta picked up that idea? Seems to me, they're trying to have it both ways — the Vanguard of the Prophet on the one hand, Shoeshine Boys to the Merkins on the other... Y'know, according to the Taliban, you should have a brick wall pushed over on you for bisexual activity. It is believed that the briefing was leaked to the Press purposely to extend a threat to Saudi royal family that they face US aggression if they did not support US attack on Iraq. Actually, leaking briefings with subject matter like this is what bureaucrats do instead of peeing on someone's leg. It amounts to the same thing. |
