The Saudis already have F-15s. During the 1991 Gulf War, Saudis shot down Iraqi aircraft using F-15s.

Military Industrial Complex at its finest. If you build them, they will come - and buy and result in huge profits, and bring more wars, and more profits!

And each Eagle will be delivered personally by a bowing Kenyan supplicant.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Pleasure and Vacation Policy Michelle
EL MUNDO.es ^ | Saturday, August 7, 2010 | onyx; Brugmansian;hoosiermama;victoriadelsoul;aruanan; kristinn

With thanks and credit to Brugmansian, it’s looking like all the LSM fuss about Michelle’s extravagant vacation in Spain, just might be a distraction to cover up a much more sinister reason for her trip.

Brugmansian uncovered the following article in EL MUNDO and the last paragraph is of specific importance.

Varias casas reales árabes también pasan sus veranos en Marbella desde hace años. Así, habrá un encuentro entre Michelle Obama y el príncipe Salman bin Abdelaziz, gobernador de Riad y hermano del fallecido Rey Fahd de Arabia Saudí; mientras que se baraja otra reunión de la primera dama con el propietario del Málaga CF, empresario multimillonario, hijo del ministro del Interior de Qatar y miembro de la familia real qatarí, Abdullah Al Thani.

- - - - - - - - - - -

Read and translated by both Victoria Delsoul and aruanan for accuracy,Victoria Delsoul wrote:

It says, that it’s going to be a meeting between Michelle Obama and prince Salman bin Abdelaziz, governor of Riyadh and brother of the deceased Rey Fahd of Saudi Arabia; whereas there would be another meeting of the first lady with the owner of the Malaga CF, businessman multimillionaire, son of the Secretary of the Interior of Qatar and member of the real family qatarí, Abdullah Al Thani.

- - - - - - - - - - -

It is important to point out, that nothing about her meeting with the above named has been mentioned in the Lame Stream Media, just out of character sclding and gripes about the expense of her trip!

Another fascinating fact: Jesse Jackson Jr, is also along on the trip. Yes, son of shakedown artist himself.

hoosiermama and others will add links and comments from kristinn’s original thread and I will provide the link to that thread HERE

Michelle Obama visits Ronda
Telegraph (UK) ^ | August 7, 2010 | Fiona Govan

Posted on Saturday, August 07, 2010 11:32:31 AM by IbJensen

Michelle Obama followed in the footsteps of Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles when she paid a visit to Spain’s oldest bullring, the Plaza de Toros in Ronda, a picturesque town in the hills above the Costa del Sol.

The First Lady, her youngest daughter Sasha, and their group of friends left the Spanish coast and travelled to Ronda for a day of sightseeing accompanied by their vast security escort in a 13 car motorcade.

-snip-

Meanwhile at the five-star luxury Villa Padierna, where the group have chosen to spend their mini-break, preparations were under way for Marbella’s event of the year – a star-studded charity gala hosted by Hollywood A-listers Antonio Banderas and Eva Longoria.

-snip-

One name on the guest list that could raise a few eyebrows among US diplomatic circles is Adnan Khashoggi.

Until March, 2010, it had been 17 years since Khashoggi had been back to Marbella.

Adnan Khashoggi once owned Spain’s most expensive real estate is set to return for a charity dinner in Marbella. Adnan Khashoggi – former owner of La Zagaleta development in Benahavis – will attend the Children for Peace event at Hotel Incosol.

The 84 Boeing Co. (BA) F-15s could help the Saudis deal with skirmishes with Yemeni rebels on the country's southern border, The Wall Street Journal said

Right, Because the 71 F15S and the 87 Panavia IDS Tornado they already have, and the 72 Eurofighter Typhoon on order aren't nearly enough to handle a few Yemeni.

84? Seems like a lot to me. I hope they are made in the USA.
