It looks to me that the Saudi lobby, with huge influence in the universities, and even in the Pentagon (e.g. Hesham Islam the special Pentagon assistant who complained about a "Christian bigot" exposing the reality of Jihad warfare) makes all the rest look like two bit pikers.
And don't forget the bow to the Saudi king - never heard of any President doing that before.
*Very* well put.

Pure BS. Questioning some of Israel’s policies automatically qualifies you as an anti semite. This is akin to being called a racist because you dare question Al Sharpton.
