Here's what happens when you elect a president who just doesn't get it.
Saudis Say They Might Back Sunnis if U.S. Leaves Iraq By HELENE COOPER WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 - Saudi Arabia has told the Bush administration that it might provide financial backing to Iraqi Sunnis in any war against Iraq's Shiites if the United States pulls its troops out of Iraq, according to American and Arab diplomats.

This is nothing new. At least they are publicly admitting they are abetting the enemy.
Tell me Joe, do you agree with the adage "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" ?
Is there a military conflict in the past 50 years that the US did NOT provide financial backing for? Why would you be surprised when another country involves itself in ONE such matter, especially one that's actually on its own side of the world? And keep in mind that I ask this as a shareholder in HAL.
I agree with that last statement.
But, here's the deal: For nothing more than the cost of jet fuel and an occasional bomb (or "bom", as your president would spell it), Iraq could've been a nice, quiet place, kept that way by someone we didn't like. Basically, free stability, provided by someone else. Meanwhile, we could've roped Iran and Syria into line.
But no. A handful of impotent old men had a pathological need to start a war, to impress their mistresses.
I am not surprised whatsoever. I am glad they are admitting what most people know publicly.
HAL lost me money. TM, XOM, CVX have been my best investments.
In this case Al-Qaeda, Iran, Syria, and terrorists are the enemy of George W. Bush. Since I never see any messages from you condemning those organizations I assume they are your friend then.
Yeah, so you have ONE share. Big deal.
I know you like to assume things like that. You should stop. It makes you look silly every single day. I know it's simpler to think that way, and it helps you relax, but it's not appropriate for a patriot. Matter of fact, Thomas Jefferson considered it treason.
Since I never see any messages from you condemning slavery or the stomping of cute baby rabbits, I assume that you are in favor of those practices.
Anybody who's not naively foolish about international relations does.
Wait till golf boy sees my next prediction come true. Libya will be helping us apply leverage to various uncooperative parties in the Middle East.
Why do you care whether I see your predictions? Are you trying to impress me? I'm not your type.
No. I'm leading you into the next of your 42,000 Waterloo experiences.
To put it another way, you seem to think that waving the flag somehow justifies your ostrich-like ignorance. My response is this: Stay the hell away from your grandchildren.
If people like you take over the leadership of this country for any significant period of time my children may not live long enough to have grandchildren.
Why?
ostrich-like ignorance of the true threat
People closer to the situation than you or I have given plenty of good reasons why we have NOT been attacked again. The reasons range from successful countermeasures (almost none of them connected with our presence in Iraq), to simple statistics. You should read more.
I would behoove us all to search the Congressional Record for Senator Santorum's last speech in the US Senate. Tape it to the back of a door somewhere and read it the next time we are attacked in this county buy the radical Islamic Terrorists..

What if a family is busy passing around the dead baby so the kids can kiss it? Should they interrupt that ceremony to get his speech?
^^^^^^ I suspected all along that you sided with the terrorists, and this only confirms my suspicion.
