 John
Kerry's Saudi Sucker Punch
By
Ashraf Fahim
"Late
in Senator John Kerry's May 27 speech
in Seattle explaining his national
security strategy, he did what he does
in nearly every foreign-policy speech
that he gives -- excoriate Saudi
Arabia for supporting terrorism and
President George W. Bush for
supporting the Saudis and failing to
end America's dependence on foreign
oil.."

 Playing
Into the Enemy's Hands
By
Patrick J. Buchanan
"..Al-Qaeda's
strategic goal, which even Saudis
belatedly realize, is to
humiliate, isolate, and bring
down the monarchy and deliver up
the world's oil storehouse to an
Islamist regime.. ..But why would
Americans, unless they are
unthinking, stupid, or malicious,
advance the very outcome al-Qaeda
seeks?"

The History of the Saudi-US Relationship

 Philip
Reeker, Deputy Spokesman,
Department of State, Comments on Saudi
Arabia's Cooperation in Combating
Terrorism Financing
December
3, 2002
Philip
Reeker: The United States is
pleased with the continued cooperation
we have received from the Government of
Saudi Arabia in the Global War on
Terrorism.
We
welcome today's announcement by Saudi
Arabia of enhanced mechanisms to monitor
and control financial flows from the
Kingdom. We believe that such improved
oversight of financial transfers is
essential to reduce and impede financial
support for terrorism originating in
Saudi Arabia. We strongly support
comprehensive monitoring of charitable
organizations based in the Kingdom to
ensure that well-intentioned donations
are used for their intended purpose, not
to finance or abet terrorists. We
believe that such monitoring, especially
of donations leaving the Kingdom, can
prevent those who would assist
terrorists from using the charitable
generosity of Saudi citizens as cover
for their activities.
The
United States is encouraged by Saudi
efforts and will continue to provide
technical cooperation to Saudi Arabia
and other allies in the region as they
work to improve their capabilities in
monitoring and countering the financing
of terror. We expect continued and
comprehensive exchanges of expertise
with Saudi officials.
The
United States also looks forward to
convening the upcoming meeting of the
U.S.-Saudi Joint Working Group on
Terrorism in early January in
Washington. We believe that this will
further improve and formalize our
cooperative efforts in countering
terrorism. Chaired for the United States
by the Department of State's Coordinator
for Counterterrorism, Ambassador Cofer
Black, this Working Group will serve as
the primary mechanism for the
coordination of joint activities, the
exchange of information, and setting
mutual priorities in the battle against
terrorism.
