She said that the Israelis were totally unimpressed with them, while the Islamics would invite them in, smile, be nice and friendly, serve them tea, and on and on.
So, imagine the effect all that feigned friendliness would have on a politician-sized ego.
Taqiyya. Hook, line, and sinker.
Have you ever heard of Saudi Prince Bandar? He was a cute, chubby little fellow who was all the rage in Washington. He was very articulate and charming and was often seen on CSPAN, unfortunately, it was discovered after 9/11 that his wife gave to one of the “charities” that funded Al Quaeda.
If you want to learn more about the many Saudi ties to the US and the government, you must get “Secrets of the Kingdom” by Gerald Posner.
This revelation of the lack of knowledge or insight that politicians have ten years after 9/11 prove that politicians DO NOT WANT TO KNOW! They want to go along to get along, do what their bosses tell them so that they can climb the ladder of success. The party bosses and the money people tell them what to think and what to say and they do not venture an opinion until it is cleared by their bosses. We saw this very dramatically with the Obamacare bill, they were expected to vote blindfolded. This is how politics is done. Most of if happens behind the scenes and everyone takes their orders if they know what is good for them. If they speak out they will be excommunicated as they are doing to Michelle Bachmann.
