U.S. must press Saudi Arabia on terrorism, senator says

WASHINGTON - (KRT) - Contending that Saudi Arabia remains a center of financing and recruitment for extremists, Sen. Frank Lautenberg says it is time for the United States to consider ending military cooperation with the Saudis unless they crack down more forcefully on radical Islamic groups.

Lautenberg, D-N.J., and his staff have prepared a 12-page report detailing links between extremist groups and Saudi financiers in an effort to persuade Congress and the White House to re-examine the relationship. The Philadelphia Inquirer was given a copy of the report, which has not yet been released.

The United States, at times formally and at other times tacitly, has committed to protecting Saudi Arabia from the threat of attack, as it did after Saddam Hussein's Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990.

The report, derived largely from information gathered by the State Department, human-rights groups and others, alleges that it is largely the Saudis who finance fundamentalist Islamic schools throughout Asia and the Middle East. The schools have been accused of indoctrinating students with anti-Western views.

They need to shut both those "institutions" down.


EDIT: added...

Isn't Rush subject to a stay in GITMO under provisions of the PATRIOT Act, for putting Americans' lives in danger, due to his big mouth and GITMO shirts?

They literally have shoot-outs in the streets over there, you just don't hear it all.

It's hard to get tough on a majority when you're a hated royal family.

Royal family Bush friends. We don't care about the extremist, only their oil. :sarcasm:
