Saudia Arabia Funding Iraq Insurgency

Maybe Mr.Bush needs to include Saudi Arabia to his Axis of Evil list:
Private Saudi citizens are giving millions of dollars to Sunni insurgents in Iraq and much of the money is used to buy weapons, including shoulder fired anti-aircraft missiles, according to key Iraqi officials and others familiar with the flow of cash.

Once again Saudi Arabia demonstrates it's no ally of the United States in the war on terror. Lets not forget that most of the 9/11 terrorists came from that country. And Bin Laden himself comes from a prominent Saudi family. Bush, who has close personal ties to the Saudi royal family, won't denounce this oil country's major role in supporting terrorism.

It will be interesting to see if any reporter has the courage to ask Bush if he thinks Saudi Arabia is a major supporter of terrorism. I dare you:
Overall, the Iraqi officials said, money has been pouring into Iraq from oil-rich Saudi Arabia, a Sunni bastion, since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq toppled the Sunni-controlled regime of Saddam Hussein in 2003.

Saudi officials vehemently deny their country is a major source of financial support for the insurgents.
