BANGKOK There are plenty of needy countries at the U.N. climate talks in Bangkok that make the case they need financial assistance to adapt to the impacts of global warming. Then there are the Saudis.
Saudi Arabia has led a quiet campaign during these and other negotiations demanding behind closed doors that oil-producing nations get special financial assistance if a new climate pact calls for substantial reductions in the use of fossil fuels.

I can't wait to see those goat humping Sheiks in the Middle East standing in line begging for Obama Dollars like these morons in Detroit.
Why don’t they just rub their magic lamps?
Let’s offer to develop a porkulus program for them, shall we?
Fuck#m the house of Saud was selling oil to the Nazi’s during ww2 their oil killed our boys back then.
Aid, from the US president who bowed to the Saudi King? You bet your sweet bippy the 1st US Muslim president will come to the aid of his King. You betcha!
Perhaps we should just remind the Saudis that now might be a good time to permanently force OPEC to lower oil prices in a mighty way....hee hee...that they must remember that we will remember those creepy price hikes when the future begins to rely less on oil.
I believe the House of Saud has even more pull in DC than the Israeli lobby does. I would not be shocked at all to see a bailout for the Saudis, masquaraded as something. Hell, we already gave taxpayer money to foreign banks to bail them out. Nothing surprises me anymore.
If their playboy princes and sheiks could lay off throwing away the nation's wealth on the French Riviera, they could build a permanent fund that would spin off enough interest and dividends to keep their descendants in well-fed prosperity until the end of time.

If the Saudis would simply stop funding AQ they’d have all of the money they need.
>> demanding behind closed doors that oil-producing nations get special financial assistance if a new climate pact calls for substantial reductions in the use of fossil fuels.
I’ll give ‘em $100 if they let me take a dump on their big black rock.
AQ hates the Saudi royal family for allowing us to build bases on their holy lands as well as for “choosing” the US military to defend them against Iraq in 1990/91 instead of the Mujahadeen.
Maybe we can get Iowa to send you some donated pork and Kentucky could add in some bourbon.
Shoot, I remember reading that even if Kuwait never produced a barrel of oil ever again after the Gulf War, it could live off “investments” forever.
Doubt they piss EVERYTHING away.
Solid gold bathroom fixtures don’t just grown on trees ya know.
Oil producing nations? Like Canada, North Dakota, Montana, Texas, Wyoming, for starters.
Send my money to the saudis for not producing oil, and North Dakota, Montana, Texas, and others are liable to be separate nations by the time that dust settles.
Ha Ha Ha!
They broke America with their pricing. Tell them to go to Allah and pray.
Dear Sheik....
Go O yourself!
No subsidies for terrorist coddlers!
Let the Saudis eat their own sand!
so your tellin me that they didnt diversify their 401ks ???
LMAO Saudis. The royals are mega billionaires, let them give aid.
