U.K. Soft on Terrorism? Saudi King Says So in BBC Interview

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia accused Britain of not taking international terrorism seriously in an interview with the BBC.
The Saudi monarch said Britain failed to act on intelligence provided by Saudi Arabia that could have prevented the 2005 bombings on London's transit system.
But a May 2006 report by the British Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee on the attacks found that Saudi Arabia's intelligence was "materially different from what actually occurred on 7 July and clearly not relevant to these attacks."
King Abdullah spoke with the BBC ahead of his state visit to the United Kingdom -- the first by a Saudi monarch in 20 years.
Watch an excerpt of the BBC's interview with the Saudi monarch.

Saudi Arabia is saying the the UK doesn't take terrorism seriously. What a joke.
The last I saw, UK was arresting terrorists rather than training them.

Yes, they found out one of their royal subjects was raising funds to finance the London bombings, and tipped off the British a year before the attack:
Therefore, it really is all Great Britain's fault, don't you see?
Never mind the fact that the Saudis have also been implicated in every other major terrorist attack in the past two decades

The man should know after all his country produces more than enough terrorists

Saudi royals look the other way while terrorists run schools, publish fanatic newspaper articles, and raise money to finance international terrorism. Saudi Arabia is a world class terrorist training camp, but then the Saudi's allow the West to believe they are our allies. In fact, if Saudi's pulled their oil money out of dollars, and put it into other currencies, they could sink the US economy in a moment. Just like China could if it sold off the treasury bills they hold if they sold theirs off....
Bush and this accursed war have in Iraq have put our country over a real barrel in being beholden to other countries now for our very soul and we are now on
the verge of a major recession and galloping inflation at the same time, as oil prices will soon top $100 a barrel. The dollar is weakening due to our mismanagement of our banking industry and our hemmorhaging of money on this mess in Iraq.
