Report: Private Saudi citizens funding Iraqi insurgents;
Riyad officials deny 'organized terror financing' for Sunnis to buy weapons, including anti-aircraft missiles.

By Tom Regan | csmonitor.com

The Associated Press reports that "key Iraqi officials" say private Saudi citizens are providing millions of dollars in funding to Sunni insurgents in Iraq. Much of the money is used to buy weapons.

The Iraqi officials interviewed for the article say most of the money comes from "private Islamic donations inside Saudi Arabia, known as zakat." The zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam, and all Muslims are obliged to give it, primarily for the "poor and needy." Some Saudis know where the money goes, the officials say, but others give the money to Islamic clerics and don't know where it goes.

1. What a situation

How else could the insurgents be able to keep on keeping on? I wasn't surprised in the least when I heard about this today. Nice to be able to pop in and have my say. I was away for most of today.

And thanks for the link!

2. Thanks eleny, were you out of the country?

You couldn't have heard about this story today in an another American news outlet because, according to Google and Mike Malloy, no others have carried this incredible story. You must have just cleared customs at JFK and you're wrote your post on a handheld. Right?

3. Ed Shultz talked about it today on his radio program

He's on our local AAR station after Franken. I tuned in some time during his program and he was talking about it. I don't recall which hour it was but it was probably in the first half of the program.

4. That would be the same saudis who summoned Dick over? The NYT piece

a few weeks agpo about the insurgents being funded was the half story of this - but those were the dark ages when "civil war" was still not fit to print...:sarcasm: So, what was NYTimes supposed to report?

[BlackVelvet04]

5. I hard it on either CNN or MSNBC yesterday.

I don't remember which one.

[conscious evolution]

6. The PBS news show Frontline had

astory a couple of months ago on the insurgency in Iraq that mentioned the fact that the Saudis were funding them.

7. K & R & Inform The People (plus the "new" Congress...)

Pissypants' Thank You for buying the guns:

Pissypants' F**k You to the troops shot dead by the guns:

Don't count on the Cheneyous/Rumsferatu's yesJunta to stop Bu$h and his M$M shills.

8. Front page above the fold in SD Union Trib yesterday

Shocked me beyond belief!

11. Luna, you're kidding, right?

SD Union Trib? Never showed up in my Google search last night. I'll have to check that out.

9. An outrage that Commander AWOL's cronies are doing this. KICK

keep this thread kicked.

Every American should know that Commander AWOL's Kissing Kronies -- the Bin Laden family -- is paying people to kill our sons and daughters -- who have been sent to Iraq based on Commander AWOL's pack of WMD lies.

Outrageous.



Dear Commander AWOL: Stop kissing the bin Ladens.

They may be greasing your skids, but they are killing our sons and daughters in the armed services.

And by the way, 19 of the 21 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudis. Not one Iraq operative on board.

Get a clue.

Do something for America for once in your feckless life.

[Disturbed]

10. The Saudi Royals back the Sunni Insurgency

because their competiion, Iran, back the Shia Govt. of Iraq.

[nolabels]

21. And Jr has got the US troops hooked up to be.............

one size fits all universal targets, how convenient x(

[spoony]

12. The CSM is pretty good

A long time ago I had a social studies teacher who mandated we read it. Back then I thought it was a newsletter for the Christian Scientists or something, but the old fellow had a good reason for assigning it. I've been reading it ever since. Their world coverage is better than almost any US paper I've run across.

[Roland99]

17. I've long held the reporting by CSM far above any other US organization.

13. Kick & keep kicked 'cuz...

somhow, anyhow, and in anyway that we can (and we know we can when we want and never let go...), THIS MUST become widely known, even by the 29% nazis (or just braindead morans who still support that worst pResident ever). THIS MUST end up in all Sunday morning programs, in all cable news outlets, and in all papers everywhere:

Imagine that: a skilled snipper in Stalingrad (uh... in Baghdad, sorry--NOT) last week, may have aimed his Saudi-funded, American-made gun in the direction of a US soldier's head in the middle of the night half-way across the planet, and may have pulled the trigger...

THIS is one of the reasons why THIS MUST BE WIDELY KNOWn.

BRING THE GIRLS 'N BOYS BACK HOME!

15. kick and keep kicked cuz -- the corporate media borg apparently is going

to keep its fat gob shut, and once again fail to tell the citizens of the USA something that is essential for all of us to know about the Saudis and their absolutely corrupt relationship with Commander AWOL Bush and the corrupt republicon oil borg.


Memo to Commander AWOL: Stop sending our sons and daughters off to die in your ugly oil profits and power war. You are a loser. No need to drag the rest of America off to Loserville with you.

14. Kicked and nominated

on edit... I tried to nominate it at anyrate...I am a bit late but at least it has been kicked.

[WiseButAngrySara]

16. Ditto this post. Kick for now. ....n/t

[HysteryDiagnosis]

18. If you will remember a news blurb that covered a meeting of

the "Dons" of the ME, the topic of discussion was, "Who do you think they will target next??", in other words, after Iraq, we're next, and they weren't none too happy at the time....

[chknltl]

19. Second kick nt

[YellowRubberDuckie]

20. I think even the MSM is getting sick of the bullshit....

And I think times they are achangin'.
