U.S. Schools Compete for Saudi Students
By GARANCE BURKE : Associated Press Writer Sep 9, 2006 : 2:29 am ET
MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Thousands of students from Saudi Arabia are enrolling on college campuses across the United States this semester under a new educational exchange program brokered by President Bush and Saudi King Abdullah.
The program will quintuple the number of Saudi students and scholars here by the academic year's end. And big, public universities from Florida to the Kansas plains are in a fierce competition for their tuition dollars.
The kingdom's royal family -- which is paying full scholarships for most of the 15,000 students -- says the program will help stem unrest at home by schooling the country's brightest in the American tradition. The U.S. State Department sees the exchange as a way to build ties with future Saudi leaders and young scholars at a time of unsteady relations with the Muslim world.

you have got to be f$&*ing kidding me. These pious muslim students are the first in the strip club door and get blasted out of their minds. Then they board planes and crash them into our buildings. Terrorists.
What nonsense. Many islamo terrorists receieved schooling in the West. For instance does the name Mohammed Atta ring any bells for you? Chalk this up as yet another failing on Bush's behalf.
The major universities are acting like whores.
"Iranians"
The people of Iran are far more pro-American than any of the countries you listed. Also Iranian-Americans have contributed greatly to America they make almost double the average yearly income, are largely secular, assimilated quite well and have traditionally voted Republican.
"Thousands of students from Saudi Arabia are enrolling on college campuses across the United States this semester under a new educational exchange program brokered by President Bush and Saudi King Abdullah."
Bush has not only lost his mind, but he's trying to make the U.S. so inundated with Muslims and illegals, that there's no more room for us folks who were born here. Not a whole lot of difference anymore between him and the SCREAMING DEMOCRATS...
BTW, It was awfully nice that Bush instituted this program. Makes me feel so much safer now...
