"The documents show Saudi donors remain chief financiers of militant groups like al Qaeda"
We are buying oil from the Saudis so they can fund Al Qaeda? Am I wrong on this?
So we are essentially funding terrorists who are attacking our soldiers?
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??????????

Now, the big question - how do we know that ANY of these documents are the real thing?
Because we saw it on TV or read it in a newspaper, or found it on the web?
Good question...controlled leaks to bring us to war with iran...sure...why not.
Or perhaps, as mentioned in other threads...Wikileaks is actually just a CIA front..pretending to be some freedom fighting info zone.
Those whom fought for wikileaks and what they do...expecting they were about to release some massive anti-american documents...you breathlessly defended wikileaks as some pinnicle of truth that will show the west up for what it is.
So far...the only thing that is being shown up is how Iran needs to be wiped off the face of the planet...and north korea
You still championing wikileaks? Still demanding their word is the one to listen to? Still unwilling to consider if wikileaks may have a hidden agenda?

Read the words..
Saudi donors could be anyone...random billionares...not the government.
If some idiot in maine sends money to a terrorist group overseas, does that mean the US is sending money to support that terrorist group?
anyhow...this was known as fact...what, like in 2001 once we started paying attention? if anyone is suprised that tons of saudi money is going towards terror organizations...they simply aren't paying attention.
Saudi Arabia is a messed up place...it is close to a true Sharia law, and the radical elements in SA are unhinged. the royalty there basically ignore it..they know they can't do anything about it, and if they tried, they would end up in a nonstop war against radicals trying to take them out.

Saudi Arabia is gunning for Iran because they are the next biggest competitor in the oil resource market.
Yet, if anyone has more than a week attention span, they will remember that the U.S. recently made a contract to sell around 60 billion worth of arms to Saudi Arabia...
Gonna be a long night of checking into these cables.. I wish WL had them up and searchable - I think these News Orgs were only given fractions of the entire database. Earlier estimates were around 2.7 million -- we will see soon enough.
