Randall Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Is Murdoch calling the shots over there already? Also from that author. I'll have to fact check this to make sure it isn't more fear mongering. Virtually any US firm doing business in Saudi Arabia or with Iran is helping the enemy. Every American should read ex-CIA officer Robert Baer’s book, ‘Sleeping With the Devil.’ America and its corporations are so corrupt and venal, that they put corporate greed above the lives of our men and women in uniform, above the international community’s attempts to stop a new race for nuclear weapons. Money is fungible. A percentage of all multi-million-dollar projects end up as graft in the pockets of Saudi royals. When we’re talking about tens of thousands of members of the royal family that have to be kept in the style of living to which they’re accustomed, what are the odds that some of it is going to al Qaeda coffers through “charities?” Then there are the madrassas the Saudi Wahhabis are building all over the world, including the US. Saudi Arabia, which gave us 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11, is also supplying the vast majority of foreign fighters to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. They have a huge unemployment problem of young men under 30. Most university degrees in Saudi colleges are “Islamic Studies.” Yeah, that’s usable in the real world. We will not rid ourselves of this problem until America ends its dependency on foreign oil. (See www.setamericafree.org) Imagine a world in which oil plummets to $15 bucks a barrel. (about what it was when Clinton was president) Imagine what the Middle East would look like deprived of the money to finance Hamas, Hezbollah, al Qaeda, and all the other terrorist groups. Imagine what would happen if resentment and hatred of the US which props up these repressive regimes were redirected to the regimes themselves. General Electric has admitted that it has contracts in Syria and Iran for electric power plants, oil and gas, lighting, and medical equipment (that latter is humanitarian stuff not subject to sanctions and no one is citing them). GE claims that none of it is being used for military purposes by “Iranian forces” or “Syrian forces.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
