Some of these weapons will no doubt wind up in the wrong hands and Israel will be on the receiving end. Mark my words.

Wasn't the same thing said years ago when Reagan wanted to sell AWACS technology to the Saudis?
I think this is all strategery. Frankly, the Saudis in the neighborhood are a bit more reasonable than some of the others. Of course, they have a stake in keeping the place relatively calm: profits.

They’re not giving them $20B, are they? I thought this was a sale.

Sorry. If they can fix it, be my guest. Sometimes I see a typo just as it disappears into postinghood.

Ok, What am I missing here.
1. Most of the 911 hijackers were Saudi.
2. We attack Iraq and remove a dictator who gave equal balance to the region.
3. Sooner or later we will be out of Iraq and Iran will eventually move in. Something Iran always wanted but could never accomplish.
4. Now we want to give arms to Saudi to counter balance the region in the same manner we did years ago for Saddam.
I think Bush miscalculated this war. Only a failed foreign policy takes this route. Besides taking out an evil dictator what have we accomplished. I am all ears here so someone please explain the thinking of suppling arms to Saudi.

You’re right. I should have said:
20 Billion in arm sales to these guys?

This Cold War will be expensive for us. We basically had Russia on their knees. By attacking Iraq we gave Russia, Iran and Saudis new life. I am all for the WOT but our foreign policy has a lot to be desired.

SOME of these weapons will be the wrong hands? They ain’t got any other kind of hands over there. This has to be one of the supidest plans ever, and we seem to be completely helpless to stop it.

I lived through the Cold War and I know what it takes... and it takes moves like you witness here. There is no perfect plan in a world as screwed as this one is.
