1. Get our troops out of harms way. They don't need to die in support of the Iraqi government that obviously could care less how the country turns out. (Evidenced by their 40 day vacation.)

2. Bring our troops home and use them to bolster security at our ports, borders, and border crossings. The intelligence and MP divisions can then also look for wanted terrorists, and if they happen upon any illegals aliens, they can then detain and deport them too.

3. Use the $2 billion a week that we're just wasting frivolously, and use it to pay for radiation scanning, x-ray, and biological detection equipment at the above mentioned ports and borders. (You know - use OUR money to protect US. That's a great idea, huh?)

4. Restore the funding for the VA hospitals and disabled veterans groups that the Bush administration cut by hundreds of millions. (So much for supporting the troops.)

5. Pass major legislation to protect Americans identities. My information was compromised last year when a person from the VA lost a laptop computer. That information could have been intercepted by anyone and our identities stolen. What would happen if a terrorist stole those identities and made millions of dollars to buy weapons?

That's a start X. And it's 10 times more than the Bush administration has done so far to date.

so we dont sell arms to these rag heads to fight thier own mess..so it means you want us to deal with our own mess..are you ready to nuke saudi arabia??or simply just take all arabs and muslims out of this country and deport them. your choice.

you cant have one and not have another.

No, the Saudi royal family is NOT our friends and we are not theirs, but we do need them in our corner. This has nothing to do with terrorism and everything to do with our economy. I really don't think this has much to do with Bush or Cheney. To them, I'm sure that Bush is simply viewed as a "useful idiot". I see nothing wrong with selling them this military hardware.

hey xzavier, I think you forgot today's prozac.

"...now if we can only stop exploiting the "blame" and finally do something about it."

Yes, let's do something about it by NOT selling weapons to the terrorists.

[xzavierbrown]

The point is that the Saudis are not our friends; they are George W and *** Cheney%u2019s friends.

****so does that mean you okay with 'invading saudi arabia'? all I hear is blame blame blame..from a liberal 2nd grade teacher all the way to a liberal DNC politician..

Hollywood already flooded the market with these 'blames'..what i am still waiting for is SOLUTIONS..(not appeasements BUT SOLUTIONS) to the problem.

Saudi Arabia is and always has been two faced about everything. This should tell you something about the Saudi family relationship with the Bush family. It is about money and making more of it. It does not matter that the so called "friend" is two faced, they are rich and this is business!

How about if we start by NOT selling weapons to the terrorists.

The point is that the Saudis are not our friends; they are George W and Dick Cheney%u2019s friends.

[xzavierbrown]

Bottomline Mr Scheer...can we wipe out the true source of terrorism??would you write a misguiding opinion if we do wipe out the true source of terrorism?

WHAT IS YOUR SOLUTION?whatwhatwhatwhatwhatwhatwhat?

what is your point?

[xzavierbrown]

Leave it to Robert Scheer to just whine his arse again..

so meaning is

we do our own dirty deeds..Scheer whines
we let other people do our dirty deeds..Scheer whine
Other do thier dirty deeds against us..Scheer whines

so what is Scheer's agenda??whinning and quotas.

I think we are fighting the Saudis' war in Iraq. They want to make sure that the Sunnis are in control; they do not want them to share control with the Shiite or the Kurds.

I think this is the reason our administration will not even consider partitioning Iraq. Clearly, the Iraqis are not all the same, and there are strong factions of each religious group that could not bear being governed by members of another religious group. I think some kind of partition deal could be brokered if we'd just half try.

I'd like to see peacekeepers put in so our military can leave, and negotiaters help the Iraqis come up with a partition plan.

It appears that Bush & Cheney, et al. care very much about the Saudis. I wonder why. Would I be a Bush hater to suggest the reason is greed (oil and money)?

[ericmichael1]

The Saudi ruling family is a direct enemy of hardcore Al Qaida and Shia terrorist groups as well.

They may not be the U.S.'s full friend, but at the very least the enemy of my enemy is my friend. For the moment.

Some of the financing came from America and some of the terrorist have been Americans. So America is a terrorist state. Gotta love liberal logic.

If you had good reading comprehension (and the rest of the fascist *** who love war propaganda), you'd see that he isn't saying America is a terrorist state. They are saying the Bush administration has a lot of curious ties to the terrorists. Too many to even think of having him as a president, but he is and we have to deal with him... thankfully not for too much longer.

[festes81]

Mr. Sheer: Thanks for the cogent article on Americans funding terrorists, terrorist governments and American war profiteers sponsored by our current gov't. administration. Too bad you and other media journalists (and I use the term loosely) haven't followed this line through out the whole pre- and post- 9/11 debacle. There was plenty of evidence such as the Saudi family in meetings with gov't reps immediately prior to the WTC attack, the Saudi air planes that were allowed to leave this country the day of the attacks when all other planes were grounded, the close link between the Cheney/Bush admin. for decades, the Cheney link of Halliburton and Saudi oil, the Saudi's funding of terrorism for decades, the shell game of arms deals between all pro-American middle east countries, and on and on and on.... But I guess you guys gotta start somewhere, sometime, Eh? What a sorry excuse for a journalistic profession you guys have proved to be. You have contributed more to the dumbing down of American society than you have to illuminate it. But once again, any education is better than no education of the American people. Gosh, thanks.

Hopefully people will read what's been written here and many many other places and begin to piece things together and realize how much damage is being done to the world in general by this administration. Unfortunately, most people have no memory
