The Saudis, the Bushes, and al-Qaeda

More evidence that the Saudis have direct, high-level links to Ossama bin Laden, and al-Qaeda, which begs the question: Why aren't we going after Saudi Arabia instead of Iraq?

Part of it is obviously that invading Saudi Arabia would unleash a high level of Islamic terrorism against the U.S., U.K., and our interests. The other reasons are a bit more interesting and troublesome...

Obviously, there are some contacts between the Bushes and the Saudis, particularly the bin Laden family that are problematic at best, especially if it turns out that Saudi officials are bankrolling Ossama and his cohorts, or if the Bushes friends in the family aren't as distanced from him as they claim.
