Geez, I wonder why he would do that?

Bush gives Saudi buddies a free pass


George Bush certified Saudi Arabia as an anti-terrorism ally on Friday, weeks after a top US Treasury official sharply criticized the kingdom's record.

Stuart Levey, the undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, told the US network ABC that not a single individual identified by the United States or the United Nations as a terror financier had been prosecuted by Saudi Arabia.

"If I could somehow snap my fingers and cut off the funding from one country, it would be Saudi Arabia," Levey told the television network one day after the sixth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

"When the evidence is clear that these individuals have funded terrorist organizations, and knowingly done so, then that should be prosecuted and treated as real terrorism because it is," Levey told ABC.
So you don't think Bush is 'amused' by our soldiers getting their heads blown off? Oh yeah, then why does he keep giving his Saudi buddies a free pass when he knows they are supplying almost half of all the foreign fighters and most of the financial backing of those who kill our troops?

Fifteen of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudis ... Osama bin Laden is a Saudi and the Saudis continue to supply the fighters and the cash needed to kill our troops but Bush continues to look the other way.

Why does Bush continue to support the Saudis when even those in his administration state they are behind the majority of attacks against our troops?

I wonder why that is?
