Headlines : IraqU.S. to freeze assets of those threatening Iraq
Attempting to stamp out foreign interference in Iraq, Bush signed an executive order that enables the U.S. Treasury and other government agencies to freeze the assets of persons suspected of commiting acts of violence against the government of Iraq or its allies.
Critics of the Iraq war accuse the Bush administration of attempting to blame the war’s failure on non-existent foreign influences.
Although this article doesn’t mention it, the order exempts the United States.

Mr Bush’s executive order, which was released by the White House, empowers the US Treasury and other government agencies to freeze the property of persons who have committed or may mount acts of violence in Iraq and against that country’s government.
The order also targets individuals seeking to harm humanitarian workers and others involved in Iraq’s reconstruction efforts.
A White House official who requested anonymity said it would generally apply to terrorist or insurgent groups, including those aided by Syria and Iran.
High-ranking US military officers have accused both countries of enabling weapons and insurgents to flow across their respective borders into war-torn Iraq.

Well, my dears, does this sound like they’re threatening Saudi Arabia?
Again.
Maybe the first “try” didn’t get the response they were looking for.
Iran and Syria have already received The Treatment and Ned’s little piece yesterday made it clear that the Saudi’s have been found to be more “involved” than Syria — and there was NO mention of Iran.
See Ismael? Look what you’ve done. And all of yous over there in Hamasland.
Aaiiiiiiii ya!
We can definitely use this baby.
Like the Corporations care about humanitarian workers. The Bush Administration eats humanitarian workers for breakfast.
Saudi’s Salafi is the breeding ground of most anti-West extremists.
I found in deph explanation of the differences between Sunni, Salafi Sunni, Wahhabism and Shia. It’s a long read but offers in deph explanation.

There is some interesting commentary on this at RogueGovernment.com
And a huge discussion at Slashdot.
Could it be that D-Day for the Fourth Reich ascension came and went with barely a murmur from the crowd here at GNN?
And almost nothing on Google News.
Bah, nobody ever reports on executive orders. Why, the very sound of the collocation practically puts one to sleep. What’s a journalist to do?
