Don't Get Fooled Again: New Saudi U.S. Boss Same as Old Saudi U.S. Boss (or Worse!)

By Debbie Schlussel (Found this rather interesting piece and added to it, original stuff can be found at the above link)

Saudi Ambassador to the U.S., Prince Bandar--a bad guy, is now being replaced by a worse guy, Prince Turki (full name: Prince Turki Ibn Al-Faisal Al-Saud and try saying that after a few beers on a Friday night, well you wont in Saudi but in any civilized part of the planet where people are allowed to drink instead of being flogged etc), who was head of Saudi Intelligence (that means he likely personally killed some people).

According to the Financial Times, Turki headed Bin Laden's Saudi Arabian Al-Qaeda recruitment efforts. He was named in a lawsuit filed by 9/11 victims' survivors, as a financier of Al-Qaeda, but a State Dept.-style judge ruled Turki had diplomatic immunity. Turki negotiated agreements with Bin Laden giving him and Qaeda financial support, in return for Bin Laden's promise that terrorism would be limited to other countries, and that he would not directly target the ruling Al Saud family (of which Turki is a prominent member). His sister, Princess Haifa Al-Faisal, paid rent for two of the 9/11 hijackers, Khalid Al-Midhar and Nawaf Al-Hazmi. And, of course, being the loyal bro that he is, Prince Turki defended her. Man the fucking double standards of these people, playing at deals with terrorists on the one hand, then trying to make out that they are pals with the UK and America. Hell maybe they have been taking lessons in being devious from the French?

Prince Turki: New Saudi Ambassador Loves Bin Laden
(Now why am I looking at prince towelhead above and thinking of Bernard Breslaw Here?)

Now were these two seperated at birth or what? Except one was a brilliant actor and
the other just a lowlife sandnigger who makes deals with ol Osama.

Here's Prince Turki in Der Spiegel on his ambiguously gay crush on Osama Bin Laden: New if he does have a gay crush and thats a cool phrase as those liberals who made up The Taliban(in Afganistan) used to crush homosexuals under large rocks, gee the things you do when you dont have tv/radio/the internet and your country was run by bloody barbarians still living in the dark ages(quite litrally with any electric). Still they probably found some bit in their holy book The Koran to justify it. Anyway our Saudi prince says on that good ol pal of his Osama:

"I have met Osama bin Laden five times . . . . [H]e was an interesting man . . . . At first he seemed shy, friendly, almost gentle. He was soft-spoken . . . . His presence, dignified and reserved, must have made an impression on the Afghans. . . ."

Well there you have it, he organises the murder of damn near 3000 people and numerous attacks around the planet, but the Saudi's love him. Hurrah for you allies in Arabia. Hell maybe we got him wrong and he was just having a jape with 9/11

Here’s how Australian Prime Minister John Howard, who was in London with Tony Blair when the two received word of today’s explosions, responded to a reporter who seemed to think that British participation in Iraq was to blame:

Can I just say very directly, Paul, on the issue of the policies of my government and indeed the policies of the British and American governments on Iraq, that the first point of reference is that once a country allows its foreign policy to be determined by terrorism, it’s given the game away, to use the vernacular. And no Australian government that I lead will ever have policies determined by terrorism or terrorist threats, and no self-respecting government of any political stripe in Australia would allow that to happen.
Can I remind you that the murder of 88 Australians in Bali took place before the operation in Iraq.

And I remind you that the 11th of September occurred before the operation in Iraq.

Can I also remind you that the very first occasion that bin Laden specifically referred to Australia was in the context of Australia’s involvement in liberating the people of East Timor. Are people by implication suggesting we shouldn’t have done that?

When a group claimed responsibility on the website for the attacks on the 7th of July, they talked about British policy not just in Iraq, but in Afghanistan. Are people suggesting we shouldn’t be in Afghanistan?

When Sergio de Mello was murdered in Iraq—a brave man, a distinguished international diplomat, a person immensely respected for his work in the United Nations—when al Qaeda gloated about that, they referred specifically to the role that de Mello had carried out in East Timor because he was the United Nations administrator in East Timor.

Now I don’t know the mind of the terrorists. By definition, you can’t put yourself in the mind of a successful suicide bomber. I can only look at objective facts, and the objective facts are as I’ve cited. The objective evidence is that Australia was a terrorist target long before the operation in Iraq. And indeed, all the evidence, as distinct from the suppositions, suggests to me that this is about hatred of a way of life, this is about the perverted use of principles of the great world religion that, at its root, preaches peace and cooperation. And I think we lose sight of the challenge we have if we allow ourselves to see these attacks in the context of particular circumstances rather than the abuse through a perverted ideology of people and their murder..
