Saudi Terror: Some Killing, Some Lunch... By Gary Brecher ( [email]war_nerd@exile.ru[/email] )
You have to love the Net. It brings stuff out into the open that would never reach you if a few big papers and TV networks still decided what we got to see. Now every nut case with a few rupees to spend at an internet place can broadcast his message to the world. Which, most of the time, is "Blam!"
Take that big attack on foreigners in Saudi Arabia at the end of May. The raw details weren't that funny: 22 people shot dead, terrorists escaped... Downright depressing. But every time they started filling in more details, the funnier it got. The part that got me chuckling was the way the Saudi p.r. guys were saying that lots of hostages were rescued by "Saudi special forces." Now I don't want to be disrespectful, but if I was a hostage and I heard that Saudi special forces were coming to protect me, I'd start making my peace with God and writing my blood type on my arm.
Some countries are good at "special forces," some aren't. The Brits are probably the best. The Israelis used to be just as good, but I get the feeling they've been slipping up lately. Ever since they tried to poison that guy on the streets of Amman a few years ago and got caught by the Jordanians -- I mean come on, the Jordanians! -- I've had my doubts.
And way, way, waaaaay down on the list of countries that have good special forces is the Saudis. You need hard people to make good commandos, and the Saudis have had it way too soft for way too long.
When I imagine a Saudi rescue operation, it's guys in white robes at the cargo bay of a C130, pushing giant bundles of cash down onto unsuspecting guerrillas, hoping that the falling dollars will knock the bad guys out. Or at least get them more interested in sports cars and less high on death. So I figured the Saudi commandos part of the story had to be phony.
And sure enough, the terrorists put out their own version of the massacre on the Net, and they said the Saudi special forces never even showed.
That wasn't the only interesting bit in these crazy Jihadis' email, either. I wish I could've seen their original statement, but nobody will print the online address. Anybody out there know it? If so, email it to me and I'll ask the eXile guys to put it on their site.
In the meantime we have to go with the little bits they've translated. And whoo boy, those are wild enough!
Their first stop was Khobar Petroleum Center, and the terrorists just strolled in, because they'd shaved their beards (hey, Allah would understand!) and put on Saudi military uniforms. A British oil exec pulled up just as they were getting started, and they got the day's work off with a bang by killing him. Their version: "We saw the car of the British director and we liquidated him." You catch that "liquidated"? It's funny how cool words for killing somebody come and go. I haven't heard "liquidated" since I stopped watching James Bond movies, but maybe it's staging a comeback.
The terrorists were trying to be very careful not to shoot Saudi Muslims, because they'd gotten a little slack, killed a few locals, and it turned out to be bad p.r. So what'd they do? Like any good people-person would do, they got the locals "involved in the process," which is how my asshole boss would say it: "We asked our brother Muslims, where are the Americans, and they showed us..." Now what's funny is that when the TV crews asked the locals about this, they all said, "What, me? Help terrorists? Why, that's crazy talk!" It all depends on who you believe. But put it this way: if you're a Muslim janitor working for American execs in the middle of the Iraq mess and the Gaza mess, and some Koran-quoting maniac with a Kalashnikov asks you where the Americans are, would you really get on your high horse and go, "No, I will never cooperate with terrorism! Avast, you villain!" Well, if you would, you should be teaching Sunday school somewhere. In fact I'm surprised you're still alive. Nature has a way of weeding out people like you.
The terrorists found an American and got down to business: "We did find an American. I shot him in the head and he exploded." I like the "exploded" bit. It's the details that make a story like that. Or is that supposed to prove that Americans are so ultra-evil that they don't just die, they explode? Because they go on to tell how they killed a South African, and he dies pretty ordinary: "Then we found a South African and we shot him too."
Now here is where their story starts to get interesting. They stroll back to their car -- nobody bothering them, as far as I know -- and drive to another residential/office complex full of foreigners. They ask everybody if they're Muslim or not, but they don't kill all the Unbelievers. This Lebanese woman I saw interviewed said she told them she was Lebanese Christian, and they thought it over and decided not to kill her. But they did hand out a good talking-to: "Then they told me to go home, cover up my face and convert to Islam," she said.
The terrorists' statement says it was, and I quote, "a walk in the park" getting into this complex. Uh, if it was me and I lived in Saudi Arabia, I'd take that to heart and skedaddle. Whatever they're paying you to stay, it's not enough. My dad worked for oil companies most of his life, and believe me, gratitude isn't their strong suit. Just take the money and run for the airport.
After reading that Lebanese lady the riot act, the fearless infidel-shooting squad moved on and found "several" Philipino oil workers -- all Catholics, naturally. Well, the guys didn't like the look of those crucifixes, and they were mad about that little jihad in Mindanao -- so they shot all the Philipinos. Poor bastards -- I bet they died brave. Philipinos can drive you crazy, but nobody ever called one a coward and lived.
Then they moved on, and ran into a group of Indian workers, and went right to work wiping them out: "Thanks to Allah, we cleansed our land from unbelievers." That's how they describe shooting down the poor unarmed migrant workers.
I admit, at this point it's kind of sickening, but the weird and funny part is coming up. According to the terrorists' account, they drive over to a resort called "Oasis," waltz right in and, believe it or leave it...they take a lunch break! I swear to God. Here's the quote: "We went to the hotel, found a restaurant, had ourselves a good lunch and had some rest."
I guess every country has its own style terrorist. And the Saudis are so used to taking it easy (the Philipinos and Indians do all the work), even their terrorists have a siesta right in the middle of a massacre.
And apparently the "Saudi Special Forces" took an even longer nap. They were filmed being choppered onto the roof of the resort next morning, but by that time the terrorists had been gone for hours. Well, I hope the special forces had a good lunch too.
You can get a lot from a story like that, even if it does sound ridiculous. First, doing a guerrilla operation in that slow, relaxed style means the terrorists either had a deal with the local security forces, or knew the cops were afraid of them -- or the terrorists wanted to get killed.
You do get cases where the terrorists are more interested in dying than in winning. A couple of months ago there was a weird uprising by Thai Muslims who attacked police stations with nothing but machetes. The cops killed almost a hundred of the Muslims, and said afterward that the Muslims weren't even trying to attack, just standing there yelling, waiting for a bullet: "Hey, over here! I'm open!"
But it doesn't look to me like these Saudi terrorists were looking to die. If they were, they'd have holed up somewhere and waited for some real soldiers (US, probably) to come and get them. Instead three out of four terrorists got away clean.
It reads to me more like terrorist collusion with the local cops -- either that or the cops and soldiers of the Saudi government are so totally intimidated they're not a factor any more.
And that means Saudi Arabia probably isn't going to last much longer. When the government troops won't leave their barracks, when the cops run every time the rebels fire a shot...well, church is about out. Think Tehran when the Shah fell, or Cambodia in '75.
A situation that bad doesn't happen suddenly. When you take a hard look at Saudi Arabia, you end up surprised it hasn't already fallen a long time ago.
Take the name "Saudi." It's not a place, or a mountain or something, it's the name of a family, the Saud. So it's like they put their name on the country, like if we were to call it "Bush-y America." If that sounds selfish of the Sauds, it is. They run the country like a family business. Which ends up meaning that their family skims 40% of the oil money that comes in so they can hand it out to every cousin and nephew who wants a new Maserati.
The figures are unbelievable: every "Prince" of the House of Saud gets a monthly "stipend" of at least $30,000 -- for doing nothing, for raping the Philipina housemaids.
And there are 12,000 princes.
The reason there are so many princes is that the Saudi population has doubled in just 20 years. The average Saudi woman has 6-plus kids. The Muslims are counting on birth rate to beat the West, and who knows? Maybe they're right. If you have six kids for ten generations, and the Westerners only have 1.7, you'll end up in the majority.
But in the short term, all you're doing is making more mouths to feed. A third of Saudi men are unemployed. There just aren't that many jobs in Saudi Arabia -- not the kind these pampered Saudi kids want to do, anyway. They don't do the manual-labor jobs -- it's too hot. They leave all that to the Pakistanis and Indians and Philipinos. They can't do the tech jobs in the oil industry because most of them have never studied anything except Islam, starting with Basic Islam in kindergarten right through to Advanced Islam for Fanatics, where you can get your Master of Fanaticism degree.
So they sit around getting pissed off, more and more of them. Every year another 400,000 Saudi kids join the workforce, or try to. The result goes like this:
Q: What are you qualifications?
A: I know the Koran real well.
Q: Next!
The reason Saudi boys never learn anything but Islam is that the Saudi family made a deal way, way back with the Islamic Brotherhood. The Brotherhood got booted out of Egypt way back in the Sixties by Nasser, because they were trying to organize guerrilla cells to install an Islamist regime. And all the Brothers who were booted out came to Saudi Arabia, where the Sauds were stupid enough to hire them all as teachers.
See, back then everybody was scared of the Commies and figured Islam was like a natural insecticide against it. Nobody really had the balls to imagine that it might get out of control and make Communism look like the nicest li'l enemy a Superpower ever had. The Islamic Brothers hated the Saud family -- bunch of hypocrites who looked Wahhabi but took off for the casinos and brothels every chance they got -- but they liked how they could turn a whole generation of Saudi boys into Wahhabi fanatics. And they did.
In the meantime, Washington was in tight with the Sauds, and didn't even notice that the rest of the Arabian population hated our guts. They watched us screw the Palestinians over and over again, which didn't help -- but when we put troops in Arabia for the first Gulf War, they lost it. This was the Holy Land for Muslims, and infidel troops weren't supposed to be driving their Hummers around on it.
The Saud family did a survey after 9/ll and found that 95% of young Saudi Arabian men were proud of the WTC attacks. Hell, why wouldn't they be? 15 out of the 19 attackers were Saudi--heads full of Islam and more money than sense.
It's gotten worse since this second Gulf War turned into such a disaster. It's one thing to look evil -- that's how we looked till Gulf War II. Now we look evil and weak, and that's way, way worse.
Like I said, this didn't happen overnight. It's been building up as long as I can remember. And it's going to have to get worse before it improves. I'm going to be writing a lot of columns with "Arabia" in the title this year.

Once again,,,,,,,If you don't want your hand burn (or your head shop off) don't put your hand in the fire.
If someone don't want you in their country stay the hell out of there.
We have committed more "terrorists" actions in Arab land than they have committed here in the USA, are we supposed to be making friends this way? I don't think so.
As a matter of fact, how many terrorist attacks have the Arabs pulled here in the US?
Remember that the Twin Towers, plus building 7, were "pulled down" on purpose by the owner who is a Jew. Also a meeting by Business leader at the twin towers, where there were supposed to be over 500 people, only 80 people attended the meeting, none of them were Jews.
A Jewish business, with over 200 employees, moved out of the Twin Towers only two weeks before the attack.
80% of the terrorist that have been arrested has been from the land of "our only friends" in the Middle East, those from the state of Israel. And those are only the ones that has been made public.

PS: I just found out that the Korean guy was decapitated, I am very sorry to hear this for the simple reason that I was In Korea for one year ( Camp Page at Chun Chon) and I really liked the Korean people.

This one got to me, too. The little guy seemed to know no one was going to do anything, he was going to die, everybody would be seeing it on TV... and there was no God. And I do not think it was Arab terrorists behind it, it looked as fake as the others, with the guy standing behind waving his hand in that made-for-TV "evil" way -- and it is evil; so we basically know the mind and mentality it comes from. That would be Hollywood christianity, helping America be America. Maybe the CIA working the Tillman Hero angle here.
They've got us watching snuff films to satisfy lust for sacrifice. "Evangelical Christian" from So. Korea, this time. Poor little guy. May it happen to all who staged it and/or saw it as normal, or "blame the barbarians" and resolve to kill more Arabs in revenge. They should all kill themselves for what they are, and know it, which is why it is so important to "win the hearts and minds" of Iraqi's -- or [B]SOMEBODY! who isn't on the take[/B] -- but they are running out of willing patsies, so just shangai a gook. In Neocoons minds, Southrons basically like to see that shit, and whine about it to God, since they didn't personally have anything to do with it, for goodness sake. Definitely helps Bush's campaign and Republican fund raising. They're all beating their war chests about now. Wonder who they've got lined up to behead on TV next..

Why don't the Iraqi people go after the real guilty ones? We all know that the Jews are the ones to blame for this disaster in Iraq and as far as I am concern the Iraqi people should go after the Jews in Iraq.
As you know about 60% of new businesses in Iraq are Jewish therefore there are many of those people running around in that country.
What would the Jews do if one of theirs were to be decapitated in Iraq? Drop a nuclear in the middle of Iraq? I don't think so, they just would continued to blow up stuff just as they are doing now,,,,,, many of those "terrorists" attacks are Jewish attacks in order to inflame the American perspective of the Iraqi people and make the US troops work a little bit harder.

Yeah, ditto. I always had high regard for the Koreans.
Rotten shame.
And I agree with TexasAnarch that this smells like MOSSAD.
