I truly believe the Saudis knew about it "not officially" and did nothing. When you think about it, the Saudis gained a lot.
There's an element over here believing Isreal had something to do with it and there is an anti-semitic feel.
There's the fact that we took out a thorn in the Saudi's side (Saddam).
Oil prices have been able to go up.
We have to use Saudi land (which I am sure costs our government big bucks) for military purposes.
With connections between Bush, Cheney and the Royal family, they knew there would be no retaliation and they could deny anything with Bush agreeing to it.
Now, what did Saudi lose?
Nothing.
I take that back a couple million in advertising to promote how they are our great friends and we should trust them, while they cut production of oil and terrorists born, raised and trained in their country slice our soldiers throats.
Conclusion: there's a reason why the terrorists are coming from Saudi. Could it be they educate their children to hate us, while we give them billions for their oil.
(This is not to say all Saudis are this way, like most governments INCLUDING OUR OWN, the Saudi government commits immoral, inhumane, unjust acts that are not indicative of the people nor are they condoned by the majority of those people.)

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
