Reply #4: I think the global atmosphere has changed. Bush is in their cross-hairs. [View All]

[Ian David]

On 9-11, Al Queda and their Saudi enablers probably deliberately avoided hitting Bush. After all, the Saudi Royal Family and Bin Laden had (and still have) close financial ties with Bush.

However, to put it simply, Bush has really pissed-off Al Queda and elements in Saudi Arabia.

How many times have we captured or killed Bin Laden's "number two or three man?"

Sure, our reasons for going to war had more to do with the Saudis than with the interests of ANY other mid-east country.

But I have a feeling he's really pissed on the hornet's nest, and this time they're not going to wait until he's out of town reading The Pet Goat.

Besides, as far as the Saudis are concerned, Bush's work is done. They don't need him anymore. And the Saudi's have a "New Sheik In Town" running things.

Bush has already done all the hard work of deflecting blame away from the Saudis. They won't be blamed for whatever happens.

And anything they or Bin Laden does, they know will be blamed on Iraq or Iran, since Bush himself is already "cooking the books" and "fixing the facts" to make that case for them.

They might wait until after we attack Iran. Or maybe until after we start showing our photographic "evidence" against Iran, the way Collin Powell did for Iraq.

But I would bet a lot of money that this time Bush is in their cross-hairs.
