The Arab lobby has taken over from the long time powerhouse Brit lobby for giving us BAD advice. The Saudi-led Arab lobby has been funding our universities, shmoozing the Washington elite, and suckering the gullible New York Times with money they reap from our dependence on their oil. And they have achieved surprising success, considering that 15 of the 19 terrorists who attacked the Twin Towers were Saudis.
Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal donated $20 million each to Harvard and Georgetown Universities "to promote interfaith understanding." For Georgetown, the gift was the second-largest ever received. Cornell University, Stanford University, and Texas A&M University are partnering with a Saudi university, lured by one of the world's largest supercomputers (guess where the money for that came from).
Charming (as a snake is charming) Saudi ambassador to the US Adel al Jubeir (appointed 2007) has been shaping the American dialog since 9-11. As the Saudi foreign policy advisor he was Time's Person of the Week in December 2002 after visiting Charlie Rose, PBS Neshour, ABC Nightline, and Fox News in one day, was again a guest on Charlie Rose in 2003, charmed CNN's Wolf Blitzer in 2004 and captivated Blitzer again in 2005, was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from the University of North Texas in 2006, hosted a glittering reception at the Saudi's American embassy in 2007, mesmerized Christian and Jewish leaders with an interfaith conference in 2008, and continues to entrain decision-makers in Washington, DC.

Congress is Saudi occupied territory.
Drill Here, Drill NOW cuts the bastards off at the knees and puts hundreds of BILLIONS of Dollars back into American pockets!
These swine will swill our swine with our own petrodollars.
This must be exposed and stopped. They will BUY Sharia Law into the U.S. as they probably are doing inn western Europe.
We know the DC elite loves Saudi money- this comes as no surprise. It also goes far towards explaining why they have choked our own supply which outdoes Saudi oil supplies by a country mile. Some of us have been aware, for a long time, of the ties between foreign money and the universities, as well. They love to blather on about “corporate greed” but will never point to the true greed in this country.
Push the fed out of the states and give all thagt land back to the people. Let THEM decide how best to develop the resources within their states. We can drill and refine our own resources and not only end any dependency on foreign oil, but we can even supply our allies for a far better price than what they are getting it for now.
Considering our economy right now, we need to start taking care of business.
Why isn’t there any mention of ‘dear’ Grover???
I think they have also funded a large number of mosques built in the US
