Bush to Welcome 10,000 Saudi Students to American Schools
--Foreign Student Visas, Easy Avenue for Terrorists Entry to US
Directly following the monstrous attacks of 9/11, the US government took a step back from the routinely lightly vetted approvals for student visa applications, especially from Saudi Arabia. Previous to 9/11, Saudi citizens were also offered quick entry to the USA with a policy called "visa express" where their applications routinely escaped close scrutiny and were easily rubber stamped ahead. Three of the 9/11 hijackers took advantage of this easy access.
After 9/11/01 the quick visa approval slowed. It was also a prudent policy to approve fewer foreign students from certain segments of the world after 9/11 (as it would have been before), but it is a policy that seems to have come to an end.
In 2003 I wrote an Op Ed (What is wrong with Foreign Student Visas?) warning that the student visa program offers an easy access to our shoes for faux students who are really terrorists seeking an unguarded entry. In 2004, according to Stephen Schwartz of the Weekly Standard, only about 1,000 visas were granted to Saudi men wishing to attend an American University as a result of our government's 9/11 heightened concern.
But, that number could climb to as much as 10,000 Saudi students in the 2006/2007 fall semester. And that climb is being blessed by a Bush administration initiative to increase the number of Saudi men approved for these student visas.
How soon we forget.
15 of the 19 barbaric, murderers that hijacked planes and destroyed the World Trade Center and other targets were Saudi citizens and these extremists were driven by the official religion that is still to this day sponsored by that very same Saudi government; Wahhabism.
And now Bush wants to give the go ahead for 10,000 more people driven by the evil of Wahhabism to come to our shores? He wants to roll out the red carpet and hand them an education at the best schools we have, schools that are out of the reach of most of our own citizens?
The Saudis hope it will be even more than 10,000.
Nail Al-Jubeir, spokesman for the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington, D.C., said the leaders of the two nations are committed to reversing the recent trend of Saudi students staying out of the United States.As Schwartz notes, the Saudis have a singular failure in their educational system as it is geared to dispense an indoctrination into Wahhabism as opposed to any useful knowledge. And that is why the Saudis want to send their young men to our Universities. Theirs are unsuitable to the task.
"Hopefully, the goal is to get something like 20,000 in the United States in all fields," Al-Jubeir said.
So, what is the Bush administration's policy, why would they throw open the doors for 10,000 young men trained all their lives to hate everything this country stands for?
The Bush administration's idea is the kind of feels-good, empty multiculturalism that has opened the west up to these kinds of attacks in the first place. Apparently, the plan is to open the doors wide for these Wahhabi infused students to give them an introduction to "American values". It is those same values, we seem to need reminding of, those that the 15 Saudis that perpetrated 9/11 were here to destroy, the American values that the hijackers were taught to hate in the same schools in which the 10,000 to 20,000 students the Bush administration is suddenly warming to were also taught.
And we are about to let them flood into our country to bring that hatred with them at our invitation?
It is nonsensical at best and suicidal at worst.
As the Democrats in Congress who are advocating a cut and run strategy in the Global War on Terrorism reveal, too many Americans have already blanked the horrible morning of 9/11/01 out of their memories. Now, even the Bush administration is sponsoring a policy to allow many hundreds more times those 19 terrorists into our country in the guise of "students". Even if that worry is somehow overblown or absurd to some, Bush is opening wide the doors of our Universities to people who have been brought up on a state sponsored program of hatred for the USA.
The question can only be, why? Why be so quick to such suicidal policies?
This is just one more example of why the west could possibly loose this war against Islamofascism.
The Bush Family has always been really close with the Saudis even though the Saudis have been funding wahabbi schools and gterror groups for years to the tune of billions of dollars.
Why would Bush do that??
Perhaps there is a Big "Quid pro Quo"
Why spend Billions on Homeland Security when Bush gives Free Pass to millions of Illegals and now Saudi "Students" ???????
Worded perfectly.
PC smoke screen, it really means:
Bush to Welcome 10,000 Saudi Islamists to American Schools.
Nice. 10,000 potential terrorists on our shores. 10,000 America and Israel hating islamofascists who are here to take advantage of our education system, then turn around and attack us with what they learn. Are they coming here to study nuclear engineering? Chemistry to make poison gas? Biology to make bio-weapons?
Sometimes I have to wonder if Bush hasn't been bought and paid for with Saudi money. This makes the whole Dubai port deal stink even more. We dont need more arabs here. We already have too many.
No! We're giving them the opportunity to do it for us. ;o) Sorry to say, but elPresidente Booosh has lost his ever loving mind! How many of the 9-11 hijackers were Saudis? 14? Stupid, greedy, corrupt politicians will be the death of America, and a whole lot of Americans!! They just don't get it. When we are attacked again, some of them, or their families may die too.
If someone does that, they need to go in armed with garlic, Holy Water and a cross. Them people are verging on fanatical in their worship. They remind me of 'screamin dean' supporters. However, their numbers are dwindling so some are waking up.
Wonder no more. The proof is in the pudding. :o)
OK, smart guy. So I can't type!!
You know I meant SHORES!
OK....so out of 10,000 Saudis...what percentage are sleeper agents? One percent (100)? Ten percent (1,000)? Even if it were half of one percent...you are still talking about 50 of these Muhammads. This has been a serious miscaluation on the part of this government. The war in Iraq...has to labeled a totally bogus effort if this is the new course of the Bush administration. We can quietly settle back now and wait three to five years for the next 9-11...and the players will be amongst these 10,000. And the next 9-11...I think we should select the correct target (the Saudi sect of the Wahabi)...and start terminating members as quickly as possible. And whoever got paid off within this administration to allow the 10,000 in...ought to face charges of some variety.
Actually, it's on a per-gallon rate.
If we keep them at arms length and allow them to further co-join modern technology with irrational belief system we are going to die in a fire. That's for sure going to happen because we are rational and will not pre-emptive several million people because a few of them might build the ultimate suicide bomb vest(s) (in the form of mobile lockers containing shaped charges and nuclear triggers). If we treat this conflict as the latest flavor of cold war we are in trouble. Left alone they will fester. They won't pine for our ways and bolt past the check points. They will become more powerful, not less. It's not the USSR v USA here. Different enemy, different tactics.
We are trying to coopt as many folks as we can to come over to a new age religion of abundance.
But of course they won't really belive we aren't blood soak white vampires who do the dealing for Israel until we start electing brown leaders. Guess whose coming to dinner. Mr. Tibbs. LOL. Interesting times.
Hey - if we are going to allow millions of illegals across our southern border unabated, why not invite tens of thousands of prospective Muslim terrorists in as well - heck, roll out the red carpet.
GW is burning up the last of my respect and support...
That means it could be 500. More doom and gloom.
WHY!!!!!!!
Oh yes. Next, teachers will be brought in to teach our kids how to speak their language. It happened here in Maine when the Gov brought in over 1,200 Somali's to Lewiston, Maine! Pretty nasty deal if you ask me.
Why don't these people learn OUR language! They ARE in OUR Country after all! I am just shaking my head here.
And people wonder why so many of us hate politicians. They have the power to absolutely ruin our lives.
And they're doing a bang-up job at it.
