We will kiss some major a$$ for oil....
Even closing our eyes to the ones who really caused th 9/11 murders.
We're still kissing their butts even though they have an education system that ensures they will seek to kill us 'til the end of time.
He's absolutely right that there's an illegal foriegn occupation army in Iraq. And the Iranians and Syrians and Saudis need to get out before the legitimate occupation army finishes destroying them.

OK, which one of you guys gave King Pharthead the DNC talking points?
The Saudi royal family has been the primary funding source for Wahhabist schools (madrassas) and mosques that have been cranking out terrorists and exporters of terrorism for thirty years.
"Beloved"? When have this fat Saudis ever lifted a finger to help. Just like their platitudes about the "Palestinians" while those Arabs sit in refugee camps in Gaza. The Wahhabis like their "beloved brothers" to experience squalor and death, so they can use them as pawns against the West.
"Saudi king blasts 'illegitimate occupation' of Iraq"
The west should get a moral spine and blast the "illegitimate" occupation of Saudi Arabia, by the house of Saud, whose rulers, above any interest of the people, were simply handed a kingdom by the British; and thus they truly possess far less moral or political legitimacy for their position than do the leaders of Israel.
I didn't say the Saudis were 100% behind the US policies in the region. They have always been against Israel although without giving much more than lip service and some money to the crazies to keep them off the Saudi backs.
But outright opposition in the form of calling our Iraq incursion 'illigitimate' is a complete somersault from a country that was deathly afraid of Saddam and wanted us to go in there and topple him.
They are now scared of Iran and see us as faithless allies without the intestinal fortitude to maintain our own interests in the region. They can read history and compare the Democrats' policies of cut and run then with their same pacifist and partisan notions now.
'Reality politics' is what most countries use to guide their forign policy. We are guided by the Dems and the MSM to use their partisan wishful thinking.
Our friends the Saudis.
1. get his own army together because we won't be protecting him against the Muslim neighbors that would love nothing more than to overthrow him, or
2. Publically retract his comments.
"After 9/11, certain people (like Rudy Giuliani) stirred up anti-Saudi sentiments in the US."
After September 11, The Saudi Prince, Alwaleed bin Talal, offered New York City Mayor Rudi Giuliani $10 million to assist the victims of the attack. In presenting Giuliani with the check, bin Talal made sure to place the blame for the attacks on U.S. support of Israel. Giuliani did the right thing & returned the money. Guess who asked for the money afterward? Cynthia McKinney.
I would put the blame for anti-Saudi sentiments in the US where it belongs. On the Saudis.
Petrodollars. Check it out.

I believe it is the key to everything. We do owe the royal family bigtime.
It is also why I believe Bush knows exactly what he is doing in Iraq and we are not losing to a bunch of third world fanatics.
Our mission in Iraq, is simply to be, in Iraq.
Had we secured it the left and the UN would demand we have no presence, thus freeing the Iraqis to open the old contracts with Lukoil and TotalFinaElf. Since Iran and Venezuela hate our guts anyway, the resulting shift making Russia the world's #1 oil exporter, and a consolodated Euro based world supply- would have a catastrauphic selloff of dollar assets worldwide.
Interestingly enough this is the five year anniversary of Saddam trying to launch this whole scheme he'd gamed, using the terrorist bounties.
this story tells about that:

I think we all need to take a deep breath, step back and remember- saying "the Saudis" is a lot like them saying "the Americans". We have both good friends and complete jacka$$ enemies in KSA. I think they are possibly doing as they did after 9/11 when they asked us to leave and we found ourselves unable to patrol the no fly zone from Saudi airfields- and even more bizarre, betrothen to protect the royal family but not have our forces on KSA soil doing it.
Every President since before Carter had to be cozy with them, they were the catalyst which broke the soviet's back financially by flooding the market of world petroleum supplies. (interesting when Clinton's former FBI head told all I was wringing my hands hoping we'd get the SOB for more than the charges we'd had before- then realized quickly the library endowment was a customary gift that would be an insult to refuse)
It's the opening of the Arab summit. Perhaps just talk of distancing themselves from us to appease the home front.
Some of the leftist sites are gloating at this as Bush's failure- yet it's been them pounding, pounding the message to the world for four years about an illegal war of agression. Idiots! I hope they are happy with THEIR handiwork, for the middle east the leaders are surely trying to appease discount the original mission of disarming Saddam and the promise of a better future for all thanks to their lies.
Is it liberal season yet? Where do I buy tags?
