"Donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide," she said.
Three other Arab countries are listed as sources of militant money: Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.
The cables highlight an often ignored factor in the Pakistani and Afghan conflicts: that the violence is partly bankrolled by rich, conservative donors across the Arabian Sea whose governments do little to stop them.
I do recall how very angry everyone was post 9-11. Forget the fact that most of those terrorists on those planes were saudi nationals. Forget that to this very day all the money bankrolling these losers is coming from Saudi Arabia. AND Kuwait-- remember those folks we saved in the first Gulf war??? They're feeding terrorists.
Folks still mad at terrorists are still looking in the wrong direction and I'd like to know why. I'd like to know why Republicans have gone so far out of their way to defend and protect Saudi Arabia to perpetuate the fighting in Afghanistan.
I'd like to know why conservative Arabs of moneyed class are having a fight with conservative americans of moneyed class at the expense of the entire planet.
Why do we tolerate the Saudi's? Because they're the most powerful country in the Gulf, center of the economic engine which drives the region and a bulwark against Iranian expansion, that's why. Not to mention that they have the sacred trust of maintaining and defending Mecca and Medina.
If you REALLY want to set off a major war, take some action which causes the House of Saud to fall. Put us into the position of being the infidels which control Mecca and the whole Muslim world will explode in paroxism's of violence you can't even imagine. 9/11 would look like a grade school picnic in comparison.
It was the same the day before 911, the day after 911, and trillions of dollars ten years later it's still the same.
I'm a big fan of getting rid of the middlemen. Let's revoke cheney's citizenship and let him fight conservative arabs directly. He wants to own mecca--- not on America's dime. Matter of fact every registered conservative of net worth more than 250k in USA-- let them join their new cheney nation living out their own jihad in a box canyon. They aren't Americans.

I'm sure Cheney won't be interested in fighting such a war. As during the Vietnam War, when he should have gone, he'll have "other priorities."
I guess people want the world to blow up, yep that will fix things. I think it's smarter to let those who are in charge control things and know what things we can do to make things better not worse.
Does this mean the Saudis also think that the U.S. is the "Great Satan"?
Yes I suppose they do. Infidels that we are, why are these people in our budget???? Why are americans on the right attacking our government from within and waging battles abroad with other right wingers? I'm thinking we could save ourselves a fortune if we just declared afghanistan to be the right wing headquarters of the world, deport all of them there, build a wall around them to protect the world from their fanaticism.

A strict Muslim nation funding Islamic terrorists....
Don't miss the innocent look of conservative party RW America defending them, all the while claiming to be in defense of 'liberty'. Come ON! When are you going to call them on this doublespeak??? It's only killing their credibility.
So long as they've got you chasing liberals around you've issued them a license to destroy democracy 'for our own protection'?
