why does that astound you hottie. The Saudi's have been harboring and funding terrorists for years. During the Russian / Afghan war, the amount of money and weapons coming out of their was astounding. How else do you think they could endured for 8 years?
There are several reasons why they haven't gone after the Saudis.
1. The Saudia's are making an effort (on the surface) to appear as though they are rooting out the terrorists. I personally think it's bullshit. They are arresting "token" terrorists to appease the west.
2. The US is too dependant on oil. By invading the Saudi's, they'd have every Muslim country on the opposite side of the battlefield.
3. why? Because Saudi Arabia is where Mecca and Medina are located. The two holiest of holy cities for Muslims. To fall into "non-Muslim" hands (even in a puppet state with a "democratic governing body"), the Muslim world would be in an uproar. The US would not only make more enemies but lose every source of ARAB oil it has.
