We don’t appease the Saudis, we buy oil from them. The Leadership there want’s terrorism less than we do, bad for business. But they have to walk a tightrope or fear an uprising, so everything they do is way under the table. Good, no, but they do help us out as they can.

God knows I wish the real world was as black and white “Leave it to Beaver” as the Paul folks see it, would make things a hell of a lot easier...

Most of our middle east policy is oriented around preserving their security.

What's more is that al Qaeda hates the Saudi royal family as much as they hate us, and therefore, we have a common enemy.

But try telling that to a Paulenoid libertarian.
