2. Saudis financial backers of terrorists
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (12.06.10)
Boker Tov people - Good Morning people of the world. Look how long it took you to understand. Or was it the oil that blinded you to see the facts. Now who is a good Muslim and who isn't ?
3. saudis and others
sas ,   israel   (12.06.10)
not surprised at all.
4. Obama won't believe it
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (12.06.10)
Obama has had all the information that the Saudis are the main source of terror. Yet for two years his foreign policy is focused on bowing to the Saudis and spreading hatred for Israel. Born to an extreme Left family, raised in a Muslim school, and inspired by Reverend Wright, Obama is a racist, ideologically programmed to believe that the Jew is the source of all evil in the world.
5. In other words, these Arab states couldnt give rats derriere
Jae ,   Lynn US   (12.06.10)
about stoping the religion of peace from blowing up anyone that disagrees with their peaceful methods. Good timing too, as obama is genius at non action. the perfect storm it would seem. hopefully people with greater common sense can balance the scales in DC
6. Really ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Salma ,   Palestine   (12.06.10)
because that Saudis may get huge arms deal as an American Reward ; )
7. The $billions going to the Saudis, are killing our boys
stan   (12.06.10)
America is a sieve when it comes to stop arab countries not to fund terror groups. We are the laughing stock in the muslim world. The islamic schools in the US, funded by Saudi Arabia, are dens of would be terrorists, and our not so glorious State Dept. is unwilling to stop it. Even our own Dept of Education has been refused entry in order to inspect islamic materials used for " education ". Immediately after 9/11 ALL important Saudis have been wisked out of the country by private jets. The Bush family, being in the oil business, made $ millions from the desert kingdoms. Our boys are getting killed, so the few can get rich.
8. Saudis Fund USA!
Observer ,   Lyon, France   (12.06.10)
that's true Saudis fund USA, buying 70 billion dollar worth of weapons that are sold to Israel for 3 billion is one of the ways of funding terror! Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other Arab and gulf states saved the USA from financial bankruptcy a year or two ago!! they are funding terrorism, western and Israeli terrorism have killed more than 2 million people in less than a decade, and what you call Islamic terrorism have killed less than 5000 people, what a comparison, i am sure the west and Israel have the right to kill 2 million people for the sake of what so called world peace and war on terrorism but Muslims are terrorists for killing less than 5000 people for their justice case!!
9. So now we give a medal to Wikileaks or what?
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.06.10)
10. No medal, give him exile
Pedro ,   Brazil   (12.06.10)
11. killing
behee ,   vallejo usa   (12.06.10)
The difference between your killing and west killing is that you kill in name of Islam and God sends profit to lead human not killing them, thus you are not true Muslem.
12. Saudis fund terror
Ezra ,   Florida   (12.06.10)
No kidding, Hill?
13. hahaha they r also funding her boss nobama.
ghostq   (12.06.10)
he never clear transparency on his election funding.
14. #8 - that's because you define Arab terror as "human right"
William ,   Israel   (12.06.10)
and thus not considered "terror". It's the same white-washing of facts you use when describing terrorists as civilians simply because they weren't shooting a gun at the exact moment of being taken out. Arab terror - and I mean the kind that attack civilians in Israel and around the world - has killed over 2 million in just the past 5 years! That includes the pregnant woman shoot at point-blank range in Israel, to the Iraqi shoppers in the open-air market, to the innocent souls of 9/11. How many innocents did Israel kill? Well, in Cast Lead the number just went down drastically as Hamas admitted that atleast 900 were their fighters. How many did the West kill in Iraq? Well, truth is not that many since sectarian violence victims - between Shia and Sunni - were attributed to the US when infact its just another example of Islamic racism and hatred. Ah..yes...Islamic sectarian violence. The same that has killed over 100 million people since its inception in the 7th century, and denied today but acknowledged in WikiLeaks.
15. to 11
Observer ,   Berlin   (12.06.10)
So it is ethical and legal to kill for the purpose of stealing land and Oil, but it is forbidden to kill in the name of God? which one you like more? at the end its all killing, but Muslim murderers or terrorists call them whatever you want have killed few thousand, western and Israeli (Christian and Jewish) murderers or terrorists have killed millions but its logical and acceptable for the sake of business and economy!!! i advice you to wake up before it is too late my friend.
16. Hidden by Obama for Congress OK of $80 bil Saudi arms deal?
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (12.06.10)
What is now called for is a full Congressional investigation of whether the Obama regime concealed from Congress the full details of Saudi Arabia's continued massive funding of Al Qaidah, the Taliban and Hezbollah, in order to gain Congress approval of a record $80 billion in US arms (mostly offensive long-range bombers) for the Saudis. If true, this would clearly constitute an impeachable offense for which Congress should remove him. In light of the fact that Saudi-funded Al-Qaidah murdered 3000 Americans on 9-11, Saudi funding of this group constitutes an act of war (who else but the regime-connected royals in Saudi Arabia have money?). In light of the Saudi-funded Taliban killing American troops sent to battle in Afganistan by Obama, Obama's concealing this funding and failing to stop it by firm action against the Saudi regime (such as embargoing arms sales) is a clear act of treason. American needs answers. Clinton and Obama knew this in December and said nothing. This has to stop. Meanwhile, Obama continues to whine about Jewish apartments being the main threat to mideast peace - when we now find he knew all along it was the SAUDIS!!
17. to #15 the land never belonged to arabs
ghostq   (12.06.10)
arabs conquered it from chritians, and chritians were in Israel since the days of jesus around 2000 years ago. you know bizantic era and all, that if you care about historical facts, unless you claim you got chritians roots, the land of Israel never belonged to arabs, they conquered it in the year 800 AC.
18. #15 - stealing land? oil?
William ,   Israel   (12.06.10)
You terrorist supporters are sucking the West dry at $88/barrel for the environment-destroying black goo. I hardly call that "stealing". As for land, as I recall, it was Jews who hold land deeds for which they paid a huge premium, only to be attacked by Arabs on the basis of racism and buyers remorse. That makes you Arabs more the criminal than the victim. Let's not forget that your ilk have been killing Jews "for the glory of Palestine) for 90 years...well before the 1967 war, which was a result of - again - Arab terrorists coming from the West Bank to slaughter women and children as they sleep. but offered back for peace just after the war, publicly during a BBC interview. It was rejected and Arabs swore the fight to destroy Israel will continue. Since the burden of proof is on you - please name all those millions who were killed at the hands of Israelis.
19. Sins of the Father
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (12.06.10)
Bush the elder made a mistake,by not letting secular Sadam Husein, to eliminate the Muslim fanaticos,in saudi Arabia,Katar,kuvait ,who wish to convert humanity to Islam by force or by peacful iinfiltration,the question is who is worst Saudi Binladen,or Achmedenijad,the rat, or the snake ?,choose, between Hitler and Stalin.
20. we all know that ! Stop letting them buy up USA real estate
rachel ,   usa   (12.06.10)
21. Blockade
olavi ,   espoo, finland   (12.06.10)
In addirion to fund terroriets the saudis have funded Pakintan nuclear program. They propably have or will receive nuclear weapons from Pakistan: Whay should USA do? Let us hope Israel and India in concerted action eliminate Pakistan Iran and Saudi threath. This will save Obama administration from headache.

23. if i speak arabic doesnt mean i come from saudi arabia!!
muhannad ,   jerusalem/palestine   (12.08.10)
arabic is language, whoever speaks it doesnt mean he comes from saudi arabia, if thats what you say then who ever his mother tongue is english should go back to england ( Austalia, USA, Canada, etc.. all will be empty) arabic is the language that my great great grand father hundreds and even thousands of years ago have adopted because they became muslims, before becoming muslims who know maybe they were christians or jewish or even hiduism!! we all go back to adam and eve or you think god created jews and christians differently than muslims!?
