Could there be something in what they say? Don't totally believe it myself but its a thought.

As I prowled around the weapons – all captured within the past week, according to the Syrian officers – I found sticks of Swedish explosives in plastic covers, dated February 1999 and manufactured by Hammargrens, whose office address was printed as 434-24 Kingsbacka in Sweden; the words "made in USA" was also marked on each stick.]

We took this ID from the "terrorist", the General said. "Citizen of the Turkish Republic" was printed on the card, above a photo of a man with a thin moustache. Born – Bingol (Turkey) 1 July 1974. Name: Remziye Idris Metin Ekince. Religion: Islam.

There were painkillers from Lebanon, bandages from Pakistan, much of the stuff was from Turkey. Interesting to know who the Spanish, Swedish and Belgian manufacturers originally sold their guns and explosives to.

It's no secret that the Turks, Saudis and Qataris are backing the Syrian rebels with weapons.

[Li0nhead]

True but i was more meaning the people carrying those weapons being as the Syrians claim being 'foreign terrorists'.

Galloway has made a great speech about this: -

He even has a half-way Arab accent these days.

Even the Saudi guy thinks that Galloway is talking ######.

I'm not a huge Galloway fan, but there's something bogus and organised about this Arab Spring phenomenon.

Saudi Arabians (as opposed to Saudi Arabia) are commonly thought to be funding Al Quaeda but seemingly gets left well alone by the USA and UK

Every country that has a Muslim population will have some that give money to Al Qaeda, we do too.

Should the US invade us or impose sanctions?

We could restrict entry to Saudi Arabians; apparently they are subject to a lower level of security check than travellers from other Gulf states.

That would surprise me if it was true.

But in any case doing so would not affect Saudi contribution to Al Qaeda so it would be ineffective.
