9-11 FINANCIER AMBASSADOR TO US LEAVES
That's right, Prince Turki al-Faisal, Saudi Prince ambassador to the United States, who Abu Zubaydah fingered as a key 9-11 financier has left the country and quit his post.
This Texan says YEE HA!
I hate that worthless piece of work.
Reminds me of the evil scientist in "LOST IN SPACE", Dr. Smith.
You can still catch him on CNN Late Edition from Sunday December 3'rd here:
His interview is at 31 minutees 30 seconds if you want to fast forward.
In the interview Turki-Al-Liar says:
BLITZER: Here's what Nawaf Obaid, who's described as an advisor to the Saudi government, wrote in The Washington Post this week: "The Saudi leadership is preparing to substantially revise its Iraq policy. Options now include providing Sunni military leaders (primarily ex- Baathist members of the former Iraqi officer corps who make up the backbone of the insurgency) with the same types of assistance -- funding, arms and logistical support -- that Iran has been giving to Shiite armed groups for years."
Is he right?
AL-FAISAL: Absolutely not. And there has been a statement that came out from my government negating these views of Mr. Obaid. Mr. Obaid did some consultancy work for the embassy. And in order to, as he explained in his article, that he was expressing his views on these issues and to make sure that nobody misunderstands where Saudi Arabia and the embassy stand on that issue, we terminated our consultancy work with him.
BLITZER: So he's no longer advising your government?
AL-FAISAL: So that his independence, as he expressed it the article, will remain 100 percent.
BLITZER: So there's no notion of Saudi Arabia doing in Iraq with the Sunnis what Iran is doing in Iraq with the Shia?
That was on the 3rd. Today the New York Times says "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". He has never told the truth as far as I know.
If you don't know the history of Saudi Arabia, you might want to read Wikipedia's condensed summary. You can also do a search for "Abd al Aziz ibn Abd ar Rahman Al Saud" in the Library of congress site to help you figure it all out. You will get a big dose of reality of how money and oil work when you read the history and see how it works in the present. It's all a story about how democracies prop up despots who use the peoples of their country to set up slush funds in the quest for ultimate power and luxury. It's nice being on the elite side.
