Our Saudi Friends: "With Friends like these"... After an Al Qaeda attack on Saudi Arabia this was the statement of the de facto ruler of the nation. Crown Prince Abdullah, who effectively runs the country, said the government would pursue the terrorists even if it took 20 to 30 years to get them all. Speaking to a group of intellectuals late Saturday, he blamed outside influences, specifically Israel, for the terrorism plaguing the country, according to a report carried by the official Saudi Press Agency. "It became clear for us and I say it, not 100 percent but 95 percent, that Zionists' hands are behind what is going now," the crown prince said. "Unfortunately, they deceived some of our sons. The devil made them daring and they are supports of the devil and colonialism." I guess we should be happy he was tolerant enough to think their was a 5% chance that Zionist were not behind an attack by Al Qaeda.
