Cables Reveal U.S. Concerns Over Funding of Terrorists by Mideast Donors

OK So the United States went to war against Iraq about 25 years ago to protect the Saudi oil interest from Iraq invasion. Our government not only lost 10,000's of lives we also pissed away billions if not trillions of tax dollars(Our hard earned money). We didn't finish the job and had to get back into Iraq again: The result was a similar loss of life and money; Iraq people will forever hate us, Al Quaida has infiltrated Iraq and actually became stronger and now "our friends" the Saudi's are supporting Terrorism. If we could just learn to stay away from other country's problems maybe we can solve our own money woes and not waste valuable lives.

By the time you go to bed tonight America would have used Twenty million barrels of oil today, how many windmills or solar panels do you think we would need to replace twenty million barrels of oil that power your automobiles, schools, homes, hospitals, libraries, jails, grocery stores, malls, etc. etc. Once in 70 years we have an accident int he Gulf and the president was ready to close the place up. We need safety valves in place but we have the oil in Alaska and off our coast of Florida (we already have China there drilling) time to see the writing on the wall. If you want to be free of the mideast we need to drill in our territory or ???

I have news for the one's thinking solar and or wind is the way out it is natural gas and drilling our own resoures.even if solar and wind could do it we will still need tramission lines.by the way it only makes up about 3% of our needs and we all pay out the nose for it.

This information didn't have to be classified. Everybody already knows this, yet Saudi Arabia remains a "friend" of the United States. I wonder what the situation would be like if we didn't need their oil... Fund solar and wind technology and electric cars already!

Saudi Arabia, continue's to be a major source of funding?? Are you kidding me, weren't all the people who did 9-11 from Saudi Arabia? We need to go bio-fuel or electric & wind mills. Since the Carter administration still no energy plan for America's future. We just need an energy plan to start with, get rid of all the lobbiest who keep buying our representation away from us, 30 years after the opec oil thing we got no plan. My plan would be to develop the algee bio-fuel thing and blow up anyone who develops a nuculer weapon (Iran & North Korea), not the general people but the facilities that we even might suspect are doing research. Friends like the Saudia's is like helping the Afgan people, a total loser position to be in. Our kids are dying there for something worth less than Vietnam.

Outside the West, women are not accepted as eaquals to men. Yet, our government repeatedly appoint women to be Ambassadors, Secretary of State, etc. Hillary just admitted being snubbed by an Iranian Minister. What's the saying, insanity is repeating something that doesn't work? I'm old enough to remember when we had Administrations that were respected around the world.

Let Iran invade them

With "allies" like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait, who needs enemies?

Not surprised. Have known for long time. The war is a sham if we don't shut down the Saudis.

It would be interesting to see if a government official mentions this Saudi situation or if any one of the media companies publicly questions them. I doubt it will occur.
