#2 THE SAUDI REGIME IS NO DAMN GOOD BUT THEY ARE THE BEST OPTION WE HAVE. DEMOCRACY WHETHER IT BE U.S. OR ARAB STYLE COULD NOT POSSIBLE WORK IN THIS KINGDOM MIRED IN 7TH CENTURY PHILOSOPHY AND ATROPHIED BRAIN STEMS. AS A RESULT WE NEED TO KEEP THESE GUYS IN POWER AND UNFORTUNATLEY KEEP BUYING OIL FROM THEM. IF WE DON'T OUR POLITICAL INFLUENCE WILL WANE AND THEY CAN EXPORT AT A INCREASED RATE THEIR WAHHABI INFLUENCE.

#3 A different report of the same attack here.

"This is a heinous and disturbing crime," Prince Ahmed bin Abdel Aziz, the deputy interior minister, told Saudi TV. "They are not attacking 'infidels'. This is fighting Muslims and citizens."

Were it infidels, it would be okie-dokie, but Muslims and citizens? Heinous!

#7 Wow...this is out-and-out war. Is this the chance for the Saudis to stomp on them? Or does the fact that the Saudi security obviously has a lot of high-level people working for AQ rule this out?

#8 It depends on which side of this Nayef is on. If they did this without his permission / sanction, then they'll be surrounded. If he's in league, then they'll never be found.

Remember, CP Abdullah is Shammari Clan. King Fathead and Nayef (and 5 more) are brothers in the Sudairi Clan. It has always been an open secret that the other 6 brothers were not very happy with Fathead choosing Abdullah as CP. Sooner or later, and one supposes it will wait until after Fathead finally croaks, there will be open struggle. Each side has placed sons in high positions, just in case they don't live long enough or through the battles. Nayef has the advantage, but Abdullah's a tough pragmatic type.

This could be the opening salvo. And it was a dud. Nayef would off these clowns just for that - ignore the Al-Turki guy, he's the son of the UK Amb, also an Al-Turki and Nayef's brother.

Got all that, lol?!!??!

#10 Well if they were serious about AQ they would "eliminate" a few people starting with these few folk who are Saudi citizens and residents. Mohammed Jamal Khalifa, Khalid bin Mafouz, Saleh Abdullah Kamel, Abdullah Suleiman al-Rajhi, Abdel Abdul Jalil Batterjee, Wael Hamza Julaidan, Mohammed Hussein al-Amoudi and, Yassin al-Qadi.

Go after the money guys. Squeeze the hell out of them find out where the money goes then kill them. The Saudi Royals are a bunch of honorless, duplicitous, craptards so we know that won't happen.
