Why is Iraq and not Saudi Arabia a target if the US government is concerned about terrorism?
Saudi Arabia’s government cooperates with U.S. oil and arms industries; Iraq did not. Iraq is forced to now, of course. At least fifteen of the far-flung network of terrorist pilots received their money from the same source. There is specific evidence that Osama bin Laden continues to receive extensive support, not only from members of his own family, but also from members of the Saudi establishment. A New Statesman report stated that “Bin Laden and his gang are just the tentacles; the head lies safely in Saudi Arabia, protected by U.S. forces.” The hijackers responsible for 9/11 were not illiterate, bearded fanatics from Afghanistan. They were all educated, highly skilled, middle-class professionals. Of the nineteen men involved, thirteen were citizens of Saudi Arabia. 9) Why was the FBI called off its investigation of Osama Bin Laden and the Saudi Royal family prior to 9/11? Moreover, why were the FBI agents ordered to curtail their investigation of these attacks on October 10, 2001?
