...while another Billion is sent to terrorists.

Only a liberal or a moron, but I repeat myself, would believe that.

[House Atreides]

You know you’re WINNING when leaders of a desert nation want to “drain the swamp”.

[FenwickBabbitt]

Jubeir almost couldn’t have been more positive about Trump and his “strength” and “vision.” The lefties pretend that all Muslims prefer a softer touch from America on ISIS, the Taliban, Iran, Yemen, Al-Qaeda, etc. and hate Trump for his hard-core approach and controversial words (like “radical Islamic extremism”). They don’t. Muslims who are threatened by these groups are relieved that someone with some guts and determination to wipe out radical Islamic terrorism is now in power—unlike the previous occupant of the White House. Obama called ISIS the JV squad and played patty-cake with them, while handing over tons of cash to the Iranians. Those days are over, and the Saudis seem thrilled.

Sorry. But any dealings or involvement with the Saudis is repulsive. The Saudis protect and finance the Wahhabi. It was the Wahhabi that motivated, recruited and financed the 9/11 terrorists. Their perverse teaching of Islam not only molded the consciences of the 9/11 terrorists but also the barbaric Sunni jihadists who perform unspeakable crimes and terror. What’s more Saudi intelligence and the “royals” were well aware of the 9/11 plot and did nothing to warn the American government. Bush sadly never held his Saudi buddies accountable and instead invaded Iraq. Trump is making a bad error by giving the vile Saudis the validation of a Presidential visit.

8 years of Obama resulted in America’s retreat from the Middle East allowing Iran and Russia to fill the void. A Sunni version of NATO would go a long way to reversing the situation quickly. Good for President Trump!

Saudis Arabia has a swamp? I surprised.

I thought it was all just DESERT SAND.

[Paladin2]

Whabbism to be drained? Not likely.

Sean Spicer has released an official statement that this is the largest arms sale in U.S. history, $109.7 billion immediately and $240 billion more over ten years for missiles, bombs, armored personnel carriers, Littoral Combat Ships, THAAD missile defense systems, and munitions.

Islamic extremism does not exist.

There are only two types followers of Islam. The good Islamic follower and the bad Islamic follower. One should avoid and never tolerate the good Islamic follower. As for the bad ones, you should never completely trust them.

There is 0% chance of reforming Islam and this is one reason why the hardcore central planners tolerate using Islam to attack Western ideals. The 19th century/early 20th century socialists observed/deconstructed Islam to death and came to this futile conclusion: Islam is a counter-hegemonic force, hence why they tolerate the “hypocritical” stuff in order to get Islam on “their side”.
