Arabia

2004-05-30

The headline says it all. Saudi Arabia has officially outlived their usefulness.

#7  Zenster can you cut back on the sea of blood ravings. They are getting a tad predictable.

#6  Additionally, I would bet the farm that The Oasis is a walled compound. How frickin' difficult is it to cordon off a walled compound?

#5  SOP for containment of a crime scene is to establish a cordon of armed enforcement officers who maintain line-of-sight contact with each other at all times. Any idividuals trying to cross such a perimeter are detained at length in order to establish any chance of involvement with the crime in progress.

If the Saudis are incapable of such an elementary procedure, then we should do them a favor and immediately put them out of our their misery. They would have little chance of surviving further terrorist attacks anyway.

#4  Maybe the word 'surrounded' just doesn't have the same meaning in Arabic. "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means".

#3  We should've known it was gonna be a screw-up when they announced the Oasis compound was "surrounded."

Methinks they either found a hideout in one if the bldgs or one or more families sympathetic who're hiding them.

A4617 - Isn't Oasis, basically, a city block in size? I know there is more than one bldg, but I only visited it once - through the main gate and the leasing office - you're a regular. If you would, plz describe where someone might hide in there, if truly surrounded - in the normal non-Saudi Keystone Cops sense of the word, heh. ;-)

#2  How stupid does a terrorist have to be to be caught by the Saudis?

#1  Jeez - I'll bet Prince Naive is "humiliated" once again by his troops' inability to stop an attack or capture surrounded bad guys. Must be a congenital thing for Arabs
