How well do Americans fare in the Kingdom of Hate? The 9/11 hijackers lived here, but hated us even more. In theory, it seems a good idea, but...

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

Will sell soul for tuition dollars.

Inquire within.

[tkathy]

Any girls in this? Or are they at home, illiterate, being beaten up???

[dfwgator]

Mark my words, the next big terrorist attack will occur on college campuses. The one place where Middle Eastern types easily blend in, and can move freely about while you have large auditoriums where students attend lectures.

[Argus]

How many of the 15,000 scholars are female?

I'd bet not one.

This school year, college towns from Florida to Oregon will host an estimated 15,000 new Saudi students, nearly all of whom have full scholarships paid for by the Kingdom's royal family.

Here in PA, tuition for folks like this is THREE TIMES in-state tuition rates. It's all about the money, apparently.

Furthermore, given the Hate America orientation of most college profs, these Arabs will be as thoroughly indoctrinated with pseudo-marxist pro-terrorist anti-American bilge as they would be in the average madrassah back home.

I was going to get the name of a Saudi university and then do a little story about a Christian student showing up with a Bible and they cut his head off. But, when I googled "Saudi University" the first link was this one. I appears that they need some schooling.....

This BS should have ended on 9-12-01, dammit! This is national suicide, and anotehr part of W's "wide open borders" policy. The invasion continues, unabated.

[Mamzelle]

Keep on eye on your daughters, especially if they're blonde.

[sgtbono2002]

By all rights we shouldnt allow any of these people in the country.

[BW2221]

How many of the 9/11 terrorists were Saudis?

[montag813]

They're part of a new exchange program brokered by President Bush and Saudi King Abdullah last year that will soon quintuple the number of Saudi students studying in the United States.

Isn't it lovely to see Bush and his boyfriend working hard to subvert American culture and values. Mr President, we don't need MORE Muslims in the United States. I am so sick of this Arab-loving Bush clan.

"The Saudi scholarship program has definitely heightened our interest in that part of the world," said Kenneth Holland, Kansas State's associate provost for international programs. "Not only are the students fully funded, but they're also paying out-of-state tuition."

That's all the further I needed to read.

[gotribe]

Ambitious college-aged girls in Saudi Arabia just hang around getting stoned.

How many Americans are going to Saudi to be indoctrinated in Wahabism as part of this "exchange" program?

[ExSoldier]

The article didn'ty mention this, but do you know what is interesting about Manhattan KS? Proximity to FORT RILEY, a major U.S. army post. Could be coincidental....could even be beneficial for the good guys......

[Muzzle_em]

But, I would NOT be surprised if THEIR tuition is half the cost of in-state tuition!

I'm speechless. Did Bush also broker that Mexican border thingy?

Also I've never met one Middle Eastern student that was female. Wonder how many girls are in Bush's new "brokered" bunch of sudents?

"Mr President, we don't need MORE Muslims in the United States. I am so sick of this Arab-loving Bush clan."

It makes no sense to fight a war half-way around the world when we have open borders - either Saudis going to school in the U.S. without complete background checks or the virtually unsecured souther U.S. border.
