Four terrorists, seven terrorists, it doesn't matter. What matters is that, apparently, the commanders on the ground -- or terrorist sympathizers in the unit -- allowed three to escape. Might have been a "deal" to prevent further murder of hostages, but there is no excuse for it, imho.
These three will live to regale other radicals with their tales of bravado, and will strike again -- at will -- at the weak regime now holding court in Riyahd. Sooner or later, the Family Saud is going to have to get serious about this problem or it will be their heads that roll.
What is important here is that AQ, or some affiliate, has now exposed a new strategy of attacking the lifeline of oil out of and money into the kingdom. Now that they have this easy victory to savor, they will redouble their efforts, will most likely be even more successful in future raids, and our vital supply of petroleum will take a major hit.
The tanking of the U.S. economy will play into the hands of the Islamofascists and the Democrats willing to do or say absolutely anything in order to regain power in Washington.
Are the Murkin Sheeple stupid enough to allow the Dems to leverage an oil crisis into a stroll into 1600 Pennsylvania next January? You're damned right, they are.
The early reports were all over the map, including how many terrorists, I think I saw one that said there were 9, to how many casualties.
The number there is 25, I think, but that does not include Saudi's , one report said 10. I spent a lot of time trying to sort that out but didn't really satisfy myself that I understood .
I think now the Saudi's and the media are sanatizing the reports to some degree. Most reports say little about the details of the brutality, 9 throats were slit.
Damn! As far as I am concerned, the bastards killed another one of my guys. I want them shot, wrapped and buried in pigskin.
