Yes, the government doesn't do much to curb this kind of rhetoric or the actions that result from them, but if they were our true enemies, they'd be constantly giving out troop positions and such to the other side in Saudi Arabia. Apathetic to fighting the war on terror? Oh yeah. Our arch-nemesis? Not so much.

The royal family of Saud is a very nasty dictatorial family that has no respect for human rights. they are not the beloved leader family the press and our government make them out to be.
If we weren't there protecting them I think the Saud family would be close to having a Shah of Iran type revolution happen. I truly do not believe the Saud family would find a Democracy in their neighbor Iraq beneficial to them. So I don't think they're going to work to hard to stop any insurgencies.
But what do I know.
