Saudi Arabia's rulers threatened to make it easier for terrorists to attack London unless corruption investigations into their arms deals were halted, according to court documents revealed yesterday.Previously secret files describe how investigators were told they faced "another 7/7" and the loss of "British lives on British streets" if they pressed on with their inquiries and the Saudis carried out their threat to cut off intelligence.

Maybe we should make it easier for western airplanes to clusterbomb Saudi palaces and make it easier for western agents to assassinate as many members of the mutliple thousand heads big Saudi family unless financial support for islamic terrorism and funding for mosque-building in Europe were halted, according to what healthy reason reveals if only one thinks clear enoug about. :smug:

The Saudis are a mafia-clan, and we should not help to support them and keep them in power, but should try to destroy them as well as any "fundamental" group taking over from them. Greedy, criminal, corrupt, and intolerant, in no way the Saudis are any better than Al Quaeda or the Taleban, and since years have massively supported both terrorism and the islamization and subjugation of the West by infiltration.

I wonder where this Western mental illness comes from to see "friends" and "allies", where only lethal enemies are to be found: Pakistan here, the Saudis there, and culture clubs financed by Saudi money inside our societies. Bin Laden is right to dislike his Saudi home and fight against it as well, but that does not make Saudi Arabaia our ally. It just means that we are in a fight were everyone is trying to cut the throat of anybody else, and everyone battles against everybody else.

Old news indeed. I know that BAE Systems were also pushing like mad to stop it going ahead, because as well as the loss of sales, they would have looked a lot worse comming out of it!

Ok, so we sell the Saudi's arms and they just stab us in the back when we do something they don't like. More fool the Labour gov't for selling those arms to them, stupid really. In a region which is so unstable we go and sell our most advanced technology to them, thus fueling that instability... yeah... victory for common sense! :nope:

:lol: And by protesting, they demonstrate their own guilt.

And by some bizaare act of the divine, I agree with Skybird. Saudi Arabia isnt the only place that can make threats.
