When Iraq mess over. Onto Saudi Arabia? Howbout it?
The U.S. military is already breaking down taboos related to taking the fight to Muslim holy cities, clearly that country Saudi Arabia is a hornet's nest of terrorists, has direct funding ties to Al Queda and is in fact home country to the vast majority of the 9/11 hijackers.

Seems to me if we are into the liberations business and would like to hand democracy to these people on a platter, there should be nothing wrong with moving on over to the next door neighbor. It will also send a strong signal to our allies Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, France, Russia and others that just because you are on the take doesn't mean we won't still invade you.

So...let's finish the job in Iraq like we did in Afghanistan (Well...maybe FINISHED isn't the word...but you know what I mean) and then head to Medina and Mecca.

But we should probably tell the Muslims this isn't a holy war or a war against Muslims...it's just business.

3. nope. this is some freeper bait I put out on another site.
I've been posing questions that they can't answer very easily and I've been forcing them to admit the logic behind war is wrong.

For instance, if invading Iraq was the "right thing to to" regardless of the sacrifice in human lives...then other "right things" should be adopted in our policies regardless of what we've seen come out so far in Iraq.

Supposedly, this prez meets with his heavenly father every day (while ignoring his advisers with military experience such as Powell). He ignores polls. He ignores pragmatism. He just does what he's supposed to do according to moral rectitude.

Seems like Saudi Arabia is next. What can they say? Only some unhinged ones would agree. THe really human folks gotta admit we were right all along and this was a careless adventure destroying the credibility of all Americans and American foreign policy of the past 150 years.

4. Saudi does make MORE sense than Iraq...
If our criteria is to strike back for Sept. 11 and to attack the nerve and financial center of Middle East fundie terror.

I don't want anymore war..but if I had to pick ONE place...

Bush would never attack his best friends the Saudi Royal House. They're thick as thieves.

6. egggxactly. they don't care about right/wrong. it is the great lie.
that they can convince a bunch of counry rubes that any of this is about enlightenment and morality. Only the middle class and upper class who support Bush realize they do so for purely mercenary and selfishly pragmatic reasons.
