Hi Dave

<The terrorists were chosen by bin Laden, he could have picked Pakistanis, Egyptians, Bosnians, Indians, British citizens... he wanted and picked Saudis>........interesting concept & believable. Its a new twist. Can you refer me to a url that confirms that Bin Laden hand picked Saudis?..tia

As for innocent Iraqis killed during UN imposed sanctions I agree that it was very sad that our own western civilization allowed those atrocities and may in fact have perpetrated some of the innocent Iraqi problems. I don't have an immediate answer on that score.....will have to do some homework.

Still, the war has always been about oil and not about weapons of mass destruction. I remain steadfast in that concept.

Are you covering up for Bush covering up for the Saudis?
If so, you're dishonest. I was in London right after 9-11 to meet with a Saudi prince about an investment. Suddenly, he was called home. His flunkie told me all the prices had been called home, and that when they were partying in Dubai before 9-11, they were all talking about "something big" coming up against the US. Just like the US rich give to certain charities to make them feel better, Saudi rich give to Al Qaida. And some of their best friends are involved in it. An open secret over there. Something Bushies cover up all the way because of their close long-term ties to the Saudis. Notice not a single Saudi indictment on US soil?
