Another New Al Qaida Video - Hostage -Paul Johnson Options

[realdeal]

Most of you have probably already heard about Paul Johnson, an American from New Jersey who was kidnapped in Saudi Arabia. They have threatened to kill him if the Saudi's do not release Al Qaida prisoners within the next 3 days.

FYI -Saudi Arabia's policy is the same as the United States' policy - they do not negotiate with terrorists/hostage takers.

I've no doubt Saudi Arabia has done little to put down the extremist.
The only reason they got these guys was out of pure luck.
Saudi has been on the brink of a meltdown for a long time, to keep the radicals happy they have played the game of looking the other way for a long time.
There is a chance this might change now. Even though the Saudi's are floating on oil, their oil business is dependant on foreign workers as much as we are dependant on their oil.
If this recent killing prompts a mass exodus of forieng workers fearing for their safty, the Saudi oil business will take a huge hit if not almost grind to a halt.
