They did not have terrorist camps however they did fund terrorism and there are blatant showings of it. They also harbored terrorist throughout the last 25+yrs. I hate bringing up 9/11 but because this is a discussion on obama and bush and whoever else I will bring it up again. 11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. 11. Terrorists. Saudi Born. And Bred. You can’t tell me that they are not a threat.
I am Israeli and have lots of family over there. If we wanted Saddam dead you don’t think we would have done it ourselves? We quarantined his housing unit for over a week before and we’ve done this several times.
We didn’t do anything until 1916 and the war was over in 1918. You can not compare an evil of that time to an evil of this time. Yes I agree there are a lot of similarities but you can not compare it.
I am definitely not saying that the Saudis are without blame, because you are right, they fund terror, they produce terrorists, etc. But you have to divorce the actions of the citizens from the actions of the government. Blaming their government for 9/11 would be like blaming Kansas for the OKC Bombing because McVeigh was from there. I obviously don’t see all intelligence data about this situation, so maybe their government is not without blame as well, but I personally think that the House of Saud is more interested in oil than terrorism.
