In Iraq with Saudi friends, America doesn't need enemies?

From Jihad Watch, we have Saudi jihadists now make up half the foreign fighters in Iraq. Really, with Saudi Arabia as our friend, the United States doesn't need any enemies. We're not even talking about the Wahhabi mosques sprouting across our nation like dandelions - a weed - pounding hatred into the followers.
"Saudis' role in Iraq insurgency outlined," by Ned Parker for the Los Angeles Times (thanks to Hot Air): BAGHDAD — ...the largest number of foreign fighters and suicide bombers in Iraq come from a third neighbor, Saudi Arabia, according to a senior U.S. military officer and Iraqi lawmakers. About 45% of all foreign militants targeting U.S. troops and Iraqi civilians and security forces are from Saudi Arabia; 15% are from Syria and Lebanon; and 10% are from North Africa, according to official U.S. military figures made available to The Times by the senior officer. Nearly half of the 135 foreigners in U.S. detention facilities in Iraq are Saudis, he said. Fighters from Saudi Arabia are thought to have carried out more suicide bombings than those of any other nationality, said the senior U.S. officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the subject's sensitivity. It is apparently the first time a U.S. official has given such a breakdown on the role played by Saudi nationals in Iraq's Sunni Arab insurgency. He said 50% of all Saudi fighters in Iraq come here as suicide bombers. In the last six months, such bombings have killed or injured 4,000 Iraqis.... Askari also alleged that imams at Saudi mosques call for jihad, or holy war, against Iraq's Shiites and that the government had funded groups causing unrest in Iraq's largely Shiite south. Sunni extremists regard Shiites as unbelievers.
Well, the good news is that we infidels are not considered the only "unbelievers". Whew! It was lonely at the top. Now, if we could just figure out how to let the various "unbelievers" duke it out and then move in to help the "democratic republic" oriented folks that are left, well, that would be a plan... Transporting the latter folks to the United States is not the answer. Can anyone spell ANWR for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge? I'd like to see Saudi oil dry up and/or see those Mercedes coughing dust in the desert.
