    What an airhead

    "Nice try at lawyering the argument, but Bin Laden has consistently given more reasons than those three, and it's a stretch to call Iraq 2/3 of his argument, since the primary objection against troops in Saudi Arabia is their proximity to Mecca, not the reason why they're there."

    Without the reason, they wouldn't have been in Saudi Arabia. And it was not just the proximity. As I noted before, Clinton dramatically increased the number of boots on the ground in Saudi Arabia.
