Saudi Daily Newspaper Mocks President Bush - "May Get Killed for the Heck of It" On November 19, 2003 the Saudi Gazette issued a series(1) of articles(2) by Ramzi Khoury, advisor to the editor-in-chief of the paper. One of his articles argues that "it is not bin Laden's style of terrorism that poses a danger on the life of the President of the United States of America but bilateral issues that remain hanging for centuries [between the U.S. and the U.K." Khoury further explains why "it is appropriate to go back to history to understand why people may want to kill the visitor [i.e. President Bush]." The following(3) is one of the articles: "But why is George Bush Junior in such danger that big security measures are necessary? Select the right answer and win the right to declare your own constitution: "1. The business people want to be compensated for all the tea dumped in the sea and in the current situation of the British economy, they will kill for a buck. "2. The environmentalists are angry at introducing caffeine into the Marine life environment. Blowing up people for the sake of animals has been recorded in the past. In their opinion Bush must pay the price. "3. The English cannot understand why a traitor to the Throne would be allowed to stand before the British government and instead of getting arrested for high treason, he is allowed to dictate policy to a British Prime Minister who willingly takes his orders and [abides] by them at the expense of his own popularity amongst his people; those who stuck it out and never immigrated from Britain enduring the worse of consequences, such as Prince Charles and Camella. "4. Israel, famous for assassinating politicians, civilians, anyone at any age, may kill Bush in case Blair explains to him the similarities between how America made history and how the Palestinians are making it today. "5. America today is seen as a traitor to the principles it was founded on because of its aggressive foreign policy that promotes the loss of Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness worldwide, especially amongst Arabs who have never been so unhappy in history. "6. He may get killed for the heck of it." Endnotes: (1)The articles appeared online titled as "Learn from History - Why Bush's Life is in Danger," and "Contest," respectively. The "printer friendly" versions carried the additional heading, "Satire."

Just remember, oh psychotic Muslim despots: if you kill Bush, Cheney is president. And he's not so huggy-kissy as Dubya.

[Will_Zurmacht]

I'm inclined to agree.
If We were to loose W to some insane jihadi, God Forbid, I honestly believe a Pres. Cheney would unleash hell on our enemies. We might even see the end of Islamic civilization on planet earth.

I have been concerned about his safety lately.

Those bastards.

They'll also be surprised to see these posted around the country:

Thanks for the link. I printed it out and put it on my refrigerator. That's a keeper.

Mecca may get nuked for the hell of it.

Bump for the civil defense poster.

I thought Saudi Arabia was a strong ally in the war on terrorism.

The Saudis are simply trash, and no amount of oil wealth will ever change that.

Israel, famous for assassinating politicians, civilians, anyone at any age, may kill Bush in case Blair explains to him the similarities between how America made history and how the Palestinians are making it today.

An example of projection? Nah, it must be a Zionist plot. What would Aaron Brown do, if such an dastardly scheme usurps the Kennedy grief-fest? Tough times for CNN, it would be difficult to express glee if Camelot coverage has to be sacrificed. Nevermind Bush... the Joos would never be forgiven for that.

The Saudis are simply trash

Ya got that right. Besides being trash, they are the gaudiest people around.

Aren't they the people who invented black velvet pictures? Did one of them decorate Graceland?

I can't say they're trailer trash, will have to invent a new word to describe them, how about tent trash? I'm open to suggestions.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Israel, famous for assassinating politicians

Do these people wake up holding their penis and thinking about Jews?

[WaterDragon]

"Trailer Trash" was a term used by the Clintons to sneer at every American who opposed that administration's corruption and treason. We were all included.

It's true they specifically targeted the poorer among us, which is odd since they pose themselves as the champions of the poor.

But that's only if the poor are firmly on their plantation, along with the blacks, I suppose. Anyone poor or black with a mind of their own (with a mind, period) will be demonized by the Democrats, obviously.

[Lijahsbubbe]

I think of trailer trash and ghetto as code words for white low-class, and black low-class.

If anyone was trailer trash, it was (and is) the Clintons.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Do these people wake up holding their penis and thinking about Jews?

Yikes, they could even be closet Michael Jackson impersonators.

The Saudis must be huge fans. Or very small ones, as it were.
