Just declare them a belligerent and target their oilfields, ports, and palaces. When missiles impact Syria, ten minutes later they impact Saudi Arabia.

If things really spiral out of control, that just might be done. But not by Obama. By Putin.

Might be one of these types of sayings with the royals ... The friend of my enemy is my enemy and friend ... with the saudi royals in their convoluted way of thought.

Did Obama show Kerry how to pleasure the Saudi Royalty?

The Saudis keep their friends close and their enemies even closer.

A quick look at U.S. military intervention in the Middle East dating all the way back to 1990 offers compelling evidence that U.S. foreign policy is effectively being dictated by the Saudi royal family.

Yep..all of it.......Saddam had a legitimate gripe against Kuwait, since they were caught slant-drilling into Iraqi oil fields.

The Saudis never take their shiny, multi-billion dollar Air Force out of the box because that would immediately lower the collector value.

Can our govt get any more incompetent (or corrupt) than this? Of course the Saudi dictatorship supports O’s proposed expanded war against Syria. It’s their damned pipeline that they told O to put thru Syria in the first place. Will wonders never cease ?

Boy, if I were President, Tuesday nights speech would start with, “Today I approved of the Keystone pipeline and support all fracking efforts throughout North America.”

Arabs only want to save their military to fight the Jews, they use the US for their internal squabbles.

Upon further review, I have concluded that the reason gas is 3.50 a gallon is so the Saudis can foot the bill for this debacle. Basically the American taxpayer is paying for this through higher gas prices.

the Qataris are as shifty as the sandy real estate they possess. An perfect example of a country no one would miss if it sank tomorrow

They want the US fighting their proxy war against Iran in Syria, while they are sucking up to the taliban and backing Iran’s proxy war against us in Afghanistan

If you understand all this, you get the “Lawrence of Arabia” allu akhbar award

Lurch even said they offered to ‘pay’ for it.

Well, Lurch always did look down his patrician nose at the US military as nothing but bloodthirsty, mercenary, war criminals.

So he wouldn't have any compunctions about hiring us out to Obama's muslim puppet masters if he thought there was something in it for him.

Every one of the 93 senators who voted to approve Kerry as Secretary of State should be prosecuted for betraying the country, their oath of office, and for aiding and abetting a traitor.

"I summon my blue-eyed slaves anytime it pleases me. I command the Americans to send me their bravest soldiers to die for me. Anytime I clap my hands a stupid genie called the American ambassador appears to do my bidding. When the Americans die in my service their bodies are frozen in metal boxes by the US Embassy and American airplanes carry them away, as if they never existed. Truly, America is my favorite slave."

King Fahd Bin Abdul-Aziz, Jeddeh 1993

I guess their oil is the only POSSIBLE reason to shed American blood for these people. It begs a question: WHY THE HELL AREN’T WE USING OUR OWN?? ARE WE MAD? (Don’t answer that.)
