FBI to Probe Saudi Terror AttackCounterterrorism experts head to Riyadh to investigate homicide bombings that killed at least 20 people, including seven Americans
At least 20... An hour ago, AOL was saying 90 dead, but they've backed off, and say it was the State Department that had the inflated number.
In any case, I don't care about the number. The important thing is that we start pulling not just our troops but all our people out of Saudi Arabia and let the House of Saud bear the consequences of the xenophobia it nurtured. It's time we stopped giving our lives to save their butts even as they raise hell with our other efforts in the Middle East, wiffle and waffle on even Saddam and generally act as though we ought be immensely grateful that they're willing to continue to abuse our good faith if only we will let them.
America should leave, as should our partners, and Bandar and friends should have to figure out how to explain to the average schmuck why things didn't significantly improve once Mohammed's old stomping grounds were freed of the infidel corruption.
