Prince Nayef Vows to Hunt down Terrorists | |||
2003-11-10 | |||
I thought he said that last time... Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz, the minister of interior, Sunday lashed out at terrorists who perpetrated what he called one of the ugliest crimes ever as they targeted innocent citizens, Arab and Muslim residents and non-Muslims.

#7 Delighting in the fact that Saudi's are getting their comeuppance will do us no good. Like it or not, we need to work together with them against AQ. I for one am not delighted that any child dies, no matter what the circumstances. At the same time, I can comprehend the fact that one of the very societies that started this Islamic fanatic blood bath, is now finding themselves the target of the very freaks they created. There's nothing good about it, but I won't shed a tear if the dictatorship that created this mess falls to their own monsters. Then we can go in and kill the monsters. |

#6 It's just a battle in an on-going war. They started the war 30 or 40 years ago, without telling us. We've got a lot of catching up to do. Soddy Arabia isn't going to fall soon. Eventually it has to either fall or surrender. When they do surrender, it'll probably also be without telling us. |

#5 if schadenfreude is the taking of delight in the woe of one's allies, then the Saudis have been doing that to Americans for years. Their silent glee in seeing the big bad America beat up on, could result in their downfall. I think it's important that we take care not to fall victim to the same mistake. Delighting in the fact that Saudi's are getting their comeuppance will do us no good. Like it or not, we need to work together with them against AQ. |

#4 Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz, the minister of interior, Sunday lashed out at terrorists who perpetrated what he called one of the ugliest crimes ever as they targeted innocent citizens, Arab and Muslim residents and non-Muslims. At the risk of sounding bloodthirsty, I have to say that this has brought on a bit of schadenfreude. Go ahead Soddies, bankroll and spread more of your Wahhabi poison. In the meantime, enjoy your harvest. |

#3 Paul, on the contrary, the Soddis are already a nuclear power. Their bomb? The billions of dollars the nation and the many princes have at their disposal. A tiny fraction of this wealth has been spent to promote Whahabism, and succor terrorists worldwide. If they wanted to, they could put a lot more effort into it, and the effect would be the equivalant of a nuke. They have enough money that they could disrupt, economicly, the United States. Not enough to send us into recession, I think, but enough to stall the current boomlet. The market, stocks and bonds, could easily be tanked by Soddi action, as could real estate. And if they just wanted to buy violence, we cannot imagine what they could buy. ETA, FARC, Shining Path, ELF, every two bit terror group in the world getting (for them) nearly unlimited funding? I would strongly suggest that the United States and its Western Allies have plans to immediately sieze all Soddi assets in the event of a change in government. |

#2 Prince Nayef is going to need national unity to take care of this cancer. There is no unity in SA, so like Super Hose said yesterday, there will be repression and the reform minded people will take it on the chin. SA will 1) go down the long slippery slope, or 2) will reform. My money is on No. 1. If al Q takes over Saudi or makes it fall, the money pipeline will start drying up. So either way, from a strategic point of view, in a perverted way, things work out. |
