Battle For Iraq
The government, the insurgency, key players, background and photos.
More than 4,000 Iraqi civilians have died in suicide attacks in the past six months, and Saudi Arabia bears much of the blame, according to Iraqi National Security Adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie, CBS News correspondent Allen Pizzey reports.
"We believe most of the foreign terrorists who are blowing themselves up in this country, killing Iraqi citizens, are coming from Saudi Arabia," al-Rubaie said.
The Iraqis and the U.S. military here claim 60 to 80 terrorist recruits a month enter Iraq, half of them from Saudi Arabia. They travel to the Syrian capital of Damascus, then cross the long and porous border into Iraq.
Al-Rubaie said he asked the Saudi government to crack down harder on would-be jihadists and to restrict movement of funds to Sunni extremist factions — especially those linked with al Qaeda.
"We would love our American allies to put more pressure, and more convincing on the Saudi government," al-Rubaie said.
One of Iraq's most hard-line Sunni leaders, Hareth al-Dhary, visited the kingdom last month. Al-Rubaie claimed he was publicly praised by King Abdullah as a mujahadeen, or holy warrior.
The Saudi connection puts Washington in an awkward spot because the kingdom is a favored ally in the region.
Washington has known about the problem for years, a regional analyst said. That there has been no action is an indication of the limited influence the United States has over the Saudis.
The fact that both Iraqi and U.S. military officials are now pointing fingers may be a sign that carnage has overcome diplomatic niceties.

Why do I think that's not going to happen?
www.asecondlookatthesaudis.com
And the 9/11 hijackers are just the tip of the iceberg. At some point the question becomes how many Saudis, killing how many Americans, will it take before our illustrious "leaders" in Washington DC deign to conisder this a significant problem?
My gosh where did all the 9-11 hijackers come from?
It's also worth remembering that our Saudi "friends" stated a few years ago that $40 a barrel was a very fair price for oil and that they would do everything they could to keep world market prices @ that level.... Our "good" friends are now pocketing $70 a barrel... very happily it seems, even if it means that Iran and the Shiites are made ever more powerful by that price... Who needs enemies such as Iran when we have friends like the Saudis?
Bush wants us to believe terrorism can be controlled by keeping a huge American presence in Iraq. This article proves terrorism does not originate in Iraq - it simply migrates there due to the enormous presence of our military.
The American military can not lose, that's a fact. But the strategy is utterly flawed, so they cannot Win "the war on terror" since it's impossible to control terrorism headquartered elsewhere while patrolling/monitoring Iraq.
Geez, I know you're sick of hearing it, but did anyone say Bin laden?

ANSWER # 3
Saudi Arabia uses public beheading as the punishment for murder, rape, drug trafficking, sodomy, armed robbery, apostasy and certain other offences. Forty five men and 2 women were beheaded in 2002, a further 52 men and 1 woman in 2003 and 35 men and a woman in 2004. Executions rose in 2005 with 88 men and 2 women being beheaded and then reduced to 35 men and four women in 2006.
The condemned of both sexes are given tranquillisers and then taken by police van to a public square or a car park after midday prayers. Their eyes are covered and they are blindfolded. The police clear the square of traffic and a sheet of blue plastic sheet about 16 feet square is laid out on the ground.
Dressed in their own clothes, barefoot, with shackled feet and hands cuffed behind their back, the prisoner is led by a police officer to the centre of the sheet where they are made to kneel facing Mecca. An Interior Ministry official reads out the prisoner's name and crime to the crowd.

Cheney Visits Saudi Arabia
The Vice President visited Saudi Arabia in an attempt to gain their assistance in calming sectarian violence in Iraq. Cheney met with King Abdullah in what is reported as an attempt to gain the Sunni Royal family%u2019s help. The family has ties to groups in Iraq and it is the goal of the administration to get them to make a few calls and help calm things down. According to My Way News:
I am an American, care about American interests and American Economy.
They give us OIL in cheaper price and that's what I care about.
Mowaffak al-Rubaie,
Iraqi National Security Adviser
Well good for you.
We know where his true loyalties lie.
There is so much circumstantial evidence pointing to 9/11 being an "inside job", I am reminded of the phrase "if it looks like a duck, has webbed feet and waddles, and goes quack, it is probably a duck..."
Don't bet, you would lose. The royal family is probably the richest family in the world, 12% of the money currently in the US alone is controlled by them, and they work with Bush and other oil people to control the price of oil. They are OPEC's decision maker, and the "terrorists" work for them as well as Bush by helping to keep the price of oil high. This is the main reason Bush doesn't touch them, if they alone decide to take Euros rather than "greenbacks" in payment for their oil, the US dollar becomes worthless.
As much as you profess your desire to protect america, lieberman, you're a liar and want only to protect israeli interests!
As for the 2 megabucks they gave to Indonesia, there is a valid reason you might not be aware of, Indonesia is one of the most corrupt governments in the world, (a shame, since the place is so beautiful, and the people so warm and friendly, even to non Muslims) and the Saud family knows that the money will instantly go to the pockets of corrupt government officials.
Other countries sent food, which was hoarded and sold in places like Jakarta, a thousand miles from the victims of the Tsunami by greedy middlemen.
It would be safe to say that between 5 to 15% of the assistance sent to Indonesia actually got to the victims.
There is much information you can never know if you only get info from US controlled media.
The real blame must go where it belongs - at the feet of bush and his henchmen; cheney, rumsfeld, wolfowitz, feith, bolton, perle, and all the other neocons who wanted and got this insane war.
American neocons and Adolf Hitlers Nazi party have one thing in common -
they both use military "Macht" power as a means for political, territorial, and economic dominance.
Let's put the blame for the biggest foreign and domestic policy blunder where it belongs and stop trying to push the buck.
The ambassador answered us that [the right] was founded on the Laws of the Prophet (Mohammed), that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to heaven.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!

Senate Shows Support In 97-0 Vote
Lieberman Leads Way In Warning To Iran
The Senate Wednesday put aside a growing schism over the conduct of the Iraq war and rallied around a strongly-worded warning to Iran authored by Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman.
The measure, an amendment to the defense spending bill, illustrates both growing concern lawmakers have about Iran's aggression and uncertainly about what to do. It passed in a 97-0 vote after Lieberman agreed to include a provision that nothing in his measure "shall be construed to authorize or otherwise speak to the use of armed forces against Iran."

"We Christians" have not evolved with present era while Muslims are stuck in the past, still reacting to the violent crusades christian nations declared upon the arabic world. The fact of christian evolution is merely a mental and social construct boasted of by our dearest GW Bush, himself a crusader. Our fear and hatred of the Muslim world will lead to understanding and awareness, only an ignorance of it. Nor will arrogance of our own religiosity and convictions in Christianity- and the denial of its crusader spirit still present today- lead to a greater awareness that these two world religions {and their believers} continue to play upon each other.
Yes...put the blame where it lies...on the entire government that made the initial decision to go into Iraq. Neocon and Dumbocrat alike.
"Posted by pumaespiritu at 07:52 AM : Jul 17, 2007"
What's not to understand; what's to be ignorant of about the muslim world? They have it in their book (Quran) to wage eternal war on all non-muslims. How is anyone supposed to live in peace with that, short of worldwide conversion to islam?

And even if the whole world became muslim, we'd be slaughtering each other over slightly different interpretations of the Quran, like Sunnis/Shias and the more fundamental muslims will continue to slaughter the 'moderates'.
Islam is nothing but a violent death cult and brain-disease, based on ancient myths and superstitions. The world needs to be rid of all religions, especially the "abrahamic" (islam/judaism/christianity) which are based in Astrology/the Zodiac, that people completely misinterpreted.
The West must realize we have no real friends in the Islamic world. We can defeat Islam but we need to unite and make this the primary goal of this century. We must expand our militaries and scuttle the UN which has become a tool for the leftists/muslims to stifle action. Muslims will not stop trying to Islamify the world until we destroy them.

Future Jihad by Walid Phares, 02/07/07
www.futurejihad.com/
The 9-11 terrorists were predominantly Saudi-Arabian.
George Bush has close ties with Saudi Arabians who have great resources at their disposal.
George W. Bush has proven over his tenure as President of the U.S., that he has access to and the will to spend enormously vast amounts of tax-payer dollars well into the the future to achieve his goals and desires, whatever they may be, money and human lives are absolutely no object.
Someone or some people who had access to government controlled strains of anthrax, planned the time and effort to launch this attack on the American public to coincide shortly after the 9-11 attack. The FBI has NEVER found this person or these individuals. Strangely, this very effective form of terror and this person or people remain very much at large and yet have not attacked again. One could be easily led to believe that a goal of this attack was to have it coincide with the 9-11 attack.
The irrefutable evidence linking the 9-11 attacks to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda.
The veracity of an extraordinary list of confessions and charges apparently made without duress, persuasion etc. through al-Qaeda's second in command in front of a secret military tribunal.
http://www.defenselink.mil/news/transcript_ISN10024.pdf
Why the hell the American Press can make so many direct claims from an al-Qaeda video tape clearly showing al-Qaeda's self-proclaimed responsibility for the 9-ll attacks, and yet not be able to put these claims in quotes. Separate the quotes from the unquoted commentary in the following:
http://www.defenselink.mil/news/transcript_ISN10024.pdf
(this exact article was actually linked to in a 9-11 wikipedia article as a source for al-Qaeda's affiliation with the 9-11 hijackers) and wonder why any specific conclusions are never quoted or are worse specifically innacurate in their conclusions entirely, at least in reference to the quotes they chose to provide.
And now ask yourself, with all the confidence and evidence apparently backing up these assertions, why is it so hard to provide conclusive, observable and unquestionable proof in a completly public forum and also provide complete and exact quotes in their full context that clearly establishes these claims.

DHIMMI: A BRIEF OVERVIEW
DEFINITION: The status of People of the Book (Jews and Christians) under Islamic rule.
7th-21st century. The notion of Dhimmitude, originating in the 7th century, still applies today to non-Muslims under Islamic rule%u2014whether Jews or Christians, whether in Saudi Arabia or in Sudan. Dhimmitude began in 628 CE when Mohammed and his forces conquered the Jewish oasis at Khaybar. They massacred many of the Jews and forced the rest to accept a pact ("Dhimma") which rendered them inferior to their Muslim conquerors. Over the centuries, the ideology of Dhimmitude expanded into a formal system of religious apartheid.
Institutionalized apartheid. In Shari%u2019a law, there are official discriminations against the Dhimmi, such as the poll-tax or jizya.
No legal rights. Jews may not testify in court against a Muslim and have no legal right to dispute or challenge anything done to them by Muslims. There is no such thing as a Muslim raping a Jewish woman; there is no such thing as a Muslim murdering a Jew (at most, it can be manslaughter). In contrast, a Jew who strikes a Muslim is killed.
Humiliation and vulnerability. Jews and Christians had to walk around with badges or veils identifying them as Jews or Christians. The yellow star that Jews had wear in Nazi Germany did not originate in Europe. It was borrowed from the Muslim world where it was part of the apartheid system of Dhimmitude.
DHIMMI: A BRIEF OVERVIEW
Conditional protection. The protection of the Dhimmi is withdrawn if the Dhimmi rebels against Islamic law, gives allegiance to non-Muslim power (such as Israel), refuses to pay the poll-tax, entices a Muslim from his faith, or harms a Muslim or his property. If the protection is lifted, jihad resumes. For example, Islamists in Egypt who pillage and kill the Copts do so because they no longer pay their poll-tax and therefore are no longer protected.

And Dhimmitude For All
Another arena requiring testimony is dhimmitude in Western institutions. This is %u201Cepitomized,%u201D writes Mark Durie, %u201Cin the slavish attitude adopted by Mary Robinson, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights,%u201D in a 2002 statement to the Organization of the Islamic Conference Symposium on Human Rights in Islam in Geneva. Like a dhimmi, she affirmed the greatness and moral superiority of Islam, implying inferiority of non-Muslim infidels, and denied any possible voice of protest against Islamic abuses of human rights.
Not surprisingly, Islamism is growing at the UN, too. On August 5, 1990, explains David Littman, the 19 members of the Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers adopted the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam (CDHRI). This document very specifically subjugates all human rights to those accorded by Islam. [1] The CDHRI totally contradicts the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Yet the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in December 1997 published it, establishing its authority as a quotable UN source. For example, the 26-member Sub-Commission on Human Rights referred to it in the preamble of a resolution adopted on August 21, 1998. [2] That Islamic human rights is gaining ascendancy and credence at the UN should be of concern to all Human Rights activists and organizations.

Claiming we are fighting Al Qaeda, and saber rattling about Iran -- it turns our the Saudis are the foreign insurgents. Just like they were the dominant 911 attackers. Just like Osama.
But the US never says anything critical about the brutal dictators we like. Saddam in the 1980s, the Shah if Iran (who we installed after the CIA led overthrow of popular Mossadeq), like countless other brutal dictators we install or support for the benefit of the corporations who own our politicians.
JAIL CHENEY and JAIL BUSH. It is clear that they DELIBERATELY LIED us into a needless, horrific War.
the resumption of hostilities was only a matter of time since iraq broke the ceasefire agreement.....
blame saddam for iraq%u2026%u2026. Even clintoon and the dems wanted the resumption of hostilities back in 1998
US Vice-President Al Gore has told Iraqi opposition politicians that the United States remains committed to the overthrow of President Saddam Hussein. BBC 6/2000
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1854092/posts
"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
Moreover, no international law can prevent the United States from taking actions to protect its vital interests, when it is manifestly clear that there is a choice to be made between law and survival. I believe, however, that such a choice is not presented in the case of Iraq. Indeed, should we decide to proceed, that action can be justified within the framework of international law rather than outside it. In fact, though a new UN resolution may be helpful in building international consensus, the existing resolutions from 1991 are sufficient from a legal standpoint. - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
