    I didn't say the entire saudi nation does.

    Stop moving the ****ing goalposts everytime someone pulls apart your nonsense.

    You tried to say that the saudis are "on the forefront of batlling terrorism".

    That is absolute bollocks when the Saudi Royal Family actively promote Wahabi radicalism and give an international platform for Radical Wahabi Imams and fund their schools and mosques all over the world, which is the basis of the beliefs of groups like Al Qeada, The Taliban, Al Nursa, Hamas and so on.

    So, go ahead and admit you were talking nonsense and stop trying to dig your way out of a hole.

    You have a short memory, the Saudi's have actively battled and suppressed Islamic extremism on their territory for the last few years.

    Where is your proof that the Saudi's fund and support the Al Qeada, The Taliban and Al Nursa?

    You don't give up, do you? Even when you know you're wrong?

    This is worse then when you claimed you were being "oppressed" by a secretary in a hospital because she asked you what religion you were.


    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/wikileaks/8182847/Wikileaks-Saudis-chief-funders-of-al-Qaeda.html

    That's a start.


    You can start here for the state sponsership of the spread of Wahabi ideals.

    Oh, do we have a grudge do we? I remember our own Taliban type religious posters having a go then.

    Earlier you seemed to have evidence of the chemical weapons UN report before it was even published!

    Surely, you have proof that the Saudi's are funding groups like Al Qeada, The Taliban, Al Nursa, Hamas and so on?

    Well, if you believe recent reports of the meeting between President Putin and Bandar Bush from Saudi Arabia, it looks like The House Of Saud do control the Islamic extremists.

    Apparently Bandar Bush was trying to coerce Russia into withdrawing support for Assad in Syria.

    ...I can give you a guarantee to protect the Winter Olympics in the city of Sochi on the Black Sea next year. The Chechen groups that threaten the security of the games are controlled by us, and they will not move in the Syrian territory’s direction without coordinating with us. These groups do not scare us. We use them in the face of the Syrian regime but they will have no role or influence in Syria’s political future.”

    Supposedly, Putin responded with the following...

    “We know that you have supported the Chechen terrorist groups for a decade. And that support, which you have frankly talked about just now, is completely incompatible with the common objectives of fighting global terrorism that you mentioned. We are interested in developing friendly relations according to clear and strong principles. Our stance on Assad will never change. We believe that the Syrian regime is the best speaker on behalf of the Syrian people, and not those liver eaters.”

    Private individuals in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states friendly to the United States are the chief source of funding for al-Qaeda, the Taliban and other terrorist groups, according to leaked US diplomatic cables

    The details of the talks were first leaked to the Russian press. A more detailed version has since appeared in the Lebanese newspaper As-Safir, which has Hezbollah links and is hostile to the Saudis.

    A Russian source quotes a Hezbollah source, bastion of journalism :rolleyes:

    No it doesn't, it says that the Saudi authorities only act when pressured by the US and given all the details by the CIA and even then they allow the people responsible to continue doing it. Do you really believe that the Saudi regime doesn't know what goes on in it's own country? Have you any idea how large their intelligence and secret police services are?

    A Russian media outlet published information that was leaked to it by someone inside the Russian establishment and then a Lebanese media outlet published more of the same.

    The Russian source didn't quote the Lebanese source at all, they couldn't have, seeing as they published the leaks first.

    All quoting Russian sources while said Russia has supplied Assad with arms(and those planes to bomb kids) to kill at will in Syria for the last 2 years.

    It feels like 2003 all over again . . .

    Auld Benji in 2002 was busy persuading the US to invade Iraq . . .of course, US really benefit from that disaster.



    Iraqis had mobile biological labs - False
    Iraqis obtaining Yellow Cake Uranium from Niger - False
    Iraqis meeting with Terrorists in Prague - False
    Weapons of Mass Destruction . . .

    All pre-cooked intelligence from the Israelis...just like the latest garbage.

    But why should anyone doubt Israelis this time around?
    They're best friends of the US, they would never lead US to war for their own agenda.

    None, they should be left to the own devices.

    There should be a prime directive as for non interference in a country's quarrels.

    Send in the flag of death called the american/british military and there will be many many more deaths, and also a huge profit for the arms industry into the billions.

    Well if the sources are Russian they must be lies, it's only logical. After all, if we learned anything from Hollywood, it's that the Russian's can't be trusted.

    And Russia is Assad's ally blindly supporting genocide.

    Nice defence you gave, sickening support of state forces.

    Just watched this video from Syrian youtube blogger Mimi Al Lahams appearance on Australian tv. It cant be denied that the USA are supporting the Muslim brotherhood but what are their real motives? Seems a huge flip from the war on terror to be supporting Muslim extremists. Democracy hasn't worked well in Egypt and Libya so far. I think now people are beginning to realize the Americans have other motives although we don't quite know what they are yet.

    Assad has been using bombs of all sorts against his own people for the last 2 years. Where you have been, have you been watching events?:confused:

    So Assad has been killing Syrian civilians for 2 years? Is that what you're saying? Do you have any evidence of this claim? Is Assad trying to kill every Syrian?...his own people? Because if that's the case he could have killed every single man, woman and baby in Syria in about 72 hours, given the military that he has at his disposal.
    So please....tell us how he has been killing his own people [your words] dor the last 2 years.

    First preference for a single Sinn Fein candidate in a single election because I saw his as the best candidate in the Galway wast area. I've also voted for labour,green party and independents in other elections.

    But what has that got to do with the price of butter?

    Just because a handful of Saudi's are extreme does not mean the whole nation are extreme, thats your mistake.

    Where is your proof to label the entire Saudi nation as supporting the Taliban\Al Qeada\Al Nusra?

    Most Saudi's don't have a say though as Saudi Arabia is a monarchy founded on wahhabi ideology.

    The more I hear Putin speak the more I like him. How has Obama got a nobel peace prize and not Putin?

    just saw this in the Examiner, wonder will we see this on all the major news channels by this evening?

    Rebels admit gas attack result of mishandling chemical weapons


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 512 ✭✭✭tiger55


    Source of this info is:

    Respected 20 year Middle Eastern reporter and Associated Press, BBC and NPR correspondent Dale Gavrak was told by Syrian rebels that they were responsible for last week's chemical weapons incident in Ghouta.

    Will the mainstream media ignore a story that could derail the march to war?
