The attackers on 9/11 were Saudia Arabians - but did that make Bush mad. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! He just rushed the Bin Laden family out of the country and started the mantra against the country that had nothing to do with the attack -Iraq. The only consideration for the closeness of Bush and the Saudis is oil, and the Iraq oil is what Cheney and Bush want now.

We don't do anything against countries that support and harbor Al-Queda like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan but we're babysitting in Iraq?

This is the reason I did not join the military after 911, because the Bush family and many of our politicians are recieving blood money from the same Saudis that are contributing money to our deaths!!! Our "leaders" can not be trusted! This voting season boycott any politician that continues to recieve money from the Saudis!

Yes, that would be the same Saudi's that we just made a 20 billion dollar weapons deal with. This country is so screwed!

I love reading the comments and news articles like this. It's all a joke..and a joke on the world. Bush, terrorist, congress, Saudies, Iraq, Iran, Paki...it's just a riot reading all this. Perhaps in about 10-20 years, it'll all come to light and accepted by society of how horrible all these people are. No sense in complaining about it or bickering - it's just going to happen (corruption, hand in the jar, $$ passed around, etc) - it's just going to happen and there is not one thing we can do about it.

Who do you think funds the United States? The Saudies of course - they are Bush's best friends!

While I partly agree with the comments, post 9/11 report, Saudi Government has made banking and transfer of foreign funds much more difficult to millions of expatriates working here. I have been working in the Kingdom since 1989 and transfer of my hard earned money have never been easy since Bush Adminsitration slapped Saudi Government to tightned the monetary rules. At least once in a year Banks freez accounts and require to update the validity of the account holders identity documents. In a cubersome banking customer service, some of us practically had to beg banks where our accounts are, to get our own money! In that sense, we feel what we have to do with the 9/11, where as we work here to make a living.

If United States has a right to take OIL in cheaper prices from Saudis and in return, fund, support and protect their those enemies, who were brought into Palestine after WWII to occupy the land of those PALESTINIANS by force, who had nothing to do with the actions of HITLER, why Saudis shouldn't have right to do the same with United States?

So let me get this straight:
We buy oil from Saudis.

They use this money to fund insurgents to kill Americans.

Uh, time for alternative fuel. No matter what the price is. Definnitely!!!! Wake up folks.

The Saudi's have been our ally for years. This isn't as easy as "the Bush family has oil ties and it's all about their personal wealth." It's about the lesser of two evils. If we were to just start sticking it to the Saudi's, I would assume you guys could start walking to work because it's going to get ugly in a whole bunch of areas. Including oil. The fact remains we need some sort of ally over there and maybe this is the best we can get currently. Tho I can't believe I'm sitting here taking up for anything Bush does.

To say that the Bush family has financial interests in Saudi Arabia and that is why we aren't tougher on them is to not understand the problem.

The US ECONOMY is dependent on Saudi Oil.

Before you start whacking the Bush piniata, ask yourself how your life would be impacted if the cost of gasoline doubled? How would your company be impacted if air travel and shipping rates increased as a result?

Virtually everything in our economy depends on cheap foreign oil. Until that changes then the Saudis will always get leeway.

Like it or not.

I can picture Bush doing the two step boot scoot be nimble dance with the saudis in crawford with a pig on the spit turning...

Our for fathers are turning in their graves... America is controled by the Federal Reserve, the corrupt Bush administration and the Middle East Royal families. We are not free, we are just slaves to their bidding.
Time for another REVOLUTION!

I guess it's profane and indecent to point out the fact that the Bush family has been amply funded by the Saudis for some decades now.

saudi arabia will soon be attacked again by the world islamic front. That goverment is under threat since the early 90's. That country will result in a civil war like all other arab countries like iraq. people still cry over oil for a hundred years now when will it stop. These terrorist don't want oil they want world power or an islamic world. I did my study on terrorism in the arab world. so i won't sound stupid and act dumb a say stupid things like a democrate.

Who would trust anything this government says? Might as well claim the Saudis have WMDs and the evidence was extracted at Gitmo. USE THE JUSTICE SYSTEM! Hold a trial, PRESENT THE EVIDENCE for all the world to see, thats what real democracies do. Given past experience, the evidence probably only exists in Cheney's imagination, along with the mushroom cloud.

paul. Bushes Tax showed an income of $400,000 for last year,

when is Hilary going to show her tax fillings....Clinton got so much oil and drug money it will make Bush look poor

Nothing will be done about the Saudis excessive connection as principal financiers of global terrorism as long as the Bush administration remains. The Bush family and Vice President Cheney, a major American crime cartel, will prevent justice on this issue.

wow...looks like a few people are FINALLY understanding how bogus our reasoning for invading Iraq is....

I may be wrong, but if someone is aiding the enemy, he is the enemy .
