    • Revisiting Bush's Withdrawal of Troops from Saudi Arabia

      Posted by Jeff from Idealog.US

      I thought this story deserves revisiting on the 5th anniversary of Sep 11: Withdrawal of "infidel" American forces from Saudi Arabia has been one of the demands of Osama bin Laden, although a senior US military official said that this was "irrelevant". Behind the dry talk of rearranging America's military "footprint" in the Gulf, the great imponderables were bin Laden and Muslim radicals' complaints about the presence of "infidels" in the birthplace of Islam. That presence was cited as one of the main justifications for the September 11 attacks.
