Stop Scapegoating the Saudis (VOMIT VOLCANO!!!)

Craig Unger, author of the just published House of Bush, House of Saud, believes that "the secret relationship between these two families helped to trigger the Age of Terrorism and give rise to the tragedy of 9/11." The book contains some very nice details about the natural sympathy between Saudis and Texans, especially their shared affinity for guns and horses and oil, but the fact that the Bushes were close to the Saudis is hardly news. Indeed, the United States' special relationship with Saudi Arabia has been the only consistent aspect of American foreign policy in the Middle East since Saudi wells started pumping oil in 1938.

Part of the unspoken bargain was that the United States would not interfere in internal Saudi affairs. To ensure that American policymakers were too distracted to nose around, the kingdom insisted that the United States adopt their position on the Arab-Israeli conflict: A just resolution to the Palestinian issue is the key to ensuring peace and stability in the region.

This is without a doubt the most excrementitious Saudi apologia that I have ever seen even including the Arab News.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel ping list.

My husband has a cousin who lives in the northeast and is a liberal who read this book last week and believed every word. I tried to reason with him but it was impossible.

Vomit is right...I will read this article to help me with my diet.

My sympathies. I have a BIL who is of the same mind.

I am waiting for the day they start buying up advertising on TV and put arab men into commericals selling the idea of the arab muslim man as leading man type hero to american women....
oops too late already doin' it....

Trying to desensitize us to their true intentions.....as they build their mosques, islamic centers, and training camps (aka base camps) across our nation...continue their take over of our institutions...and buy and peddle petrol dollar's influence on our so called leaders....
imo

LOL! Good laugh, this one.

Poor poor wackywahhabs, so misunderstood and degraded.

Poor little puppies, perhaps they should let their women take over.

It seems that one undid their point when they mentioned 'since 1938'. I don't believe any Bush was in office then... (I could be wrong).

And it's the next line of attack by the RATS, with Micheal Moores movie and a few books this election is shaping up to be a Viacom/CBS production. But it is going to cost the RATS even more seats in government this election.

"Lee Smith" is the pen name Charley Reese (mach shemo) uses when he writes for liberal publications, right?

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Well... you've done it, Alouette.

You've finally uncovered it: the motherlode of mendacity. The bright, shinining ne plus ultra of naked liberal anti-Semitic idiocy.

Now: go and wash your hands, for G-d's sake. :)

Here is the same leftwing loon author Craig Unger promoting the Russia hoax against Trump (looking at both of his tales it seems obvious he is probably getting bonuses from Iran or Iranians to produce propaganda on their behalf.):

Did the FBI’s Charles McGonigal Help Throw the 2016 Election to Trump?

According to Craig Unger, Trump is a Russian asset.
