Prince Abdullah better clean out the Al Qaeda sympathizers in his government or his strongly worded challenge may be the forst call of his eventual toppling from within by a coup.

Wasn't this the same complaint when a bombing occurred in the mid-80s at an unsecured base housing in Saudia Arabia killing quite a number of our soldiers?

Now it is their war against terrorism. Instead of financing al Qaeda to kill Jews and Americans, they now must face what they allowed to be created in SA land.

This payback will be the ultimate Bitch!

The Pharaoh of Egypt must be greatly worried...his authourity also a target of Al Qaeda.

For those in his land which can understand English..or have our language transed to the arabic ..will become emboldened..upon learning that "Youths who wore no beards" were primary participants in the horrific carnage of Riyahd.

If Nostradamus's visions are correct...this war of terror is only just beginning to ramp up...that is..if Mabus has just recently passed away.

Here Israel and the Palestinians are at the doorstep of a peace format..which will lead to whatever Bill Clinton could not provide..yet since the announcement of Road Map..killing..firebombs..infiltrations..mortar attacks ..stabbings break out in Israel ...the marque breaking news on Israeli T.V. can hardly keep up with the events occuring each day.

Peace and stability are offered to Islam..yet the response to this is anger,violence and death.

Then again..this would be insync with death cult theology.

``They now realize that war has been declared on Saudi Arabia as well as Westerners in the kingdom,''

Not true. Note that the target was specifically non-Regime. This could just as easily be a put-up job by the Saudi secret service hoping to show that "Hey, we're targets too," without actually being a target.

When it comes to totalitarian Wahhabists, I'm convinced they are all in cahoots. It is just too neat that all 19 escaped earlier this week.
