Now I've Heard It All
Look, I know we're to blame for horrors such as astroturf, but the Saudis now claim that Jews, oh sorry, "Israelis" are backing al-Qaeda.
NBC News translated Abdullah's remarks from Arabic: “Zionism is behind it. It has become clear now. It has become clear to us. I don’t say, I mean... It is not 100 percent, but 95 percent that the Zionist hands are behind what happened.”Other senior Saudi officials reaffirmed the claim that supporters of Israel — Zionists — were behind the terror attacks.
Prince Nayef, the Saudi Interior Minister said, “Al-Qaida is backed by Israel and Zionism.”
When it's come down to this, you just gotta laugh.

Astroturf?

Actually, it is well known that Massada was sort of watching over the 9.11 attackers and knew they were in this country.
Some Massada agents were arresting after they were dancing in the street across the river in Jersey as the planes hit the WTC. They were heard to be saying things like, "Now the Americans will understand".
Certainly, it is not all Jews. But it is not far-fetched to imagine the Israeli government fanning the flames, so to speak, in order to alter American policies.
After all, Bush has thrown his unquestioned support behind anything that Sharon wants to do. Don't you agree?
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?

Okay, Brass, it is very far-fetched to believe that Israel is funding al-Qaeda. I'm sorry, but it is. If you don't see that, fine, but this is my blog, and I don't want to hear it. I'm not interested in that shit here. I may be biased, but too damn bad.

If you're going to drop it, please really drop it. Saying "I'll drop it, but..." is not dropping it. No more.
