If the US would divest itself of political correctness let me just say global terrorism would be dealt a severe blow it would never be able to rise up from! The US has the resources, the skills, the opulence and the capability to impede terrorism so much that a major portion of its threat magnitude is negated!
However in order to do that the PC elements would have to allow the US to act in the most prudent manner possible, and for its own best interests! Trying to appease Euroweenies (Euroweenie is a term that includes countries like France, and several other former powers .....with the exception of Britain which is not only potent but is also a true US ally and is comprised of people who do not have wool over their eyes) and Saudi Caliphates (especially the Sauds) has been a veritable achilles heel of the US. The Euroweenies are obviously sour grapes due to what they see as US hegemony (why do you think France rants and raves so much), and as for the Arab Caliphates and princes i am still shocked that official policy listed the Sauds as allies (by the way i watched a commercial by the Saudi embassy that was basically showing how the Saudis are 'great allies' of the US! I did not know whether to chuckle or throw a boot at my telly)!
As an aside maybe the reason i am so angry with the Sauds is because when i was taking my international baccalaureate after highschool (and before college) my school system (a mix of kenyan, british and swiss) attached me to the UN and the delegation i was to assist was the Saudi one! I did my thing, and did it so well that the resolutions I drafted passed very well, to the extent i received an award! However those stingy sauds just sent me some measley card that did not even have my name right! I remember fuming for quite some while! (Maybe as i finish updating my profile page i will paste some angry photos pertaining to the sauds)
Anyways going back to the post i am happy some people in the higher echelons of power in the US are starting to see what Freepers have been saying since FR was started! It is time serious action was taken against Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and other terrorist groups .....also it is time the Saudis were 'politely told' (and by polite i mean a very thinly-veiled threat) that any more rubbish and Riyadh will be a target before Baghdad is! After all if you trace virtually every terror act outside the UK you will notice the trails all lead to Saudi Arabia! All terror acts against the US, all terror acts in South America ( terror groups over there like the FARC receive funding from Saudi sources), the Russian fiascos (eg the Chechnyan terrorists receiving cash from a Saudi source to invade Dagestan and make it into an Islamic republic, and Al Queda helping the Chechnyans out), Africa (Somalia and Sudan are hotspots of Al Queda activity ...and guess who bankrolls Al Queda!), the Middle East (all the Palestinian and Lebanese terror groups receive primary funding from the Sauds).
And as for the British terror groups it will be noticed that even that has changed! Starting late last year the IRA started offering help to Hamas and Hezbollah in the M.E, and in South America to the FARC! And 3 guesses who is bankrolling them? Yep ....the Saudis! Hence the IRA has also caught a whiff of Saudi money!
Even Basque separatists are starting to have some M.E connections, which is tantamount to saying there is some opulent Saudi sultan spreading money around!
I just wish that the US (the powers that be since it seems the average freeper recognizes the real threats) and puts an end to this malignant malaise called Saudi Arabia! How can this be done? Simply finding other sources of fossil fuel (eg the Russian reserves GW is workign on). Also to stop being sycophants kissing Saudi @$$#$! If they mess with the US then we need to kick their behinds! Trust me, were the Saudis a superpower and the US not just know the Saudis would ahve exterminated America a long time ago.
Anyways let me stop my rant spiel and go cook some lunch!
Take care guys!
