Not sure if you saw the news on this, but a few weeks back, Sec Def Rumsfeld announced a the withdrawal of the majority of US troops from Saudi Arabia. How was this announcement greeted?
With a bombing attack, by terrorists, on the international compound where a number of folks of varying nationalities died. Gee, it looks like some folks need Americans there to justify their criminal activity, to have someone besides brother Arabs to kill when they want to make a point.
I would have thought someone would at least have acknowledged 'yeah, thanks, about time, we've been asking for you to leave the Holy Land for some time now, nice to see you leaving.'
Maybe there were some official announcements along those lines that I missed. One can't read every newspaper . . .
