(CNSNews.com) – In a blunt warning to countries critical of the Egyptian military crackdown and considering suspending aid, longstanding U.S. ally Saudi Arabia suggested that the decisions they make now will have long-term consequences for their relationships in the Arab and Muslim world. Saudi Arabia has led the way in supporting the Egyptian military’s actions, first in removing the Muslim Brotherhood administration early last month and in its subsequent steps against supporters of the ousted Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi. Its warning came as policymakers in the U.S. and Europe mull the question of continuing financial assistance to Cairo following the violence in recent days, in which more than 1,000 people have been killed in clashes between security forces and Morsi supporters. Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal issued a lengthy statement Monday defending the military’s actions and informing countries that have threatened to withdraw aid that Arab and Muslim countries “will not hesitate to help Egypt.”

The Muslim Brotherhood is moving in on the Wahhabists’ territory, that’s why the Saudis are so upset.
Soetoro is NOT "the U.S."
He bowed to YOUR king, remember?
The general unrest in the ME is more likely to deepen rather than subside. If it does a large war will erupt as nations around the world find themselves taking sides. Shades of Sarajevo. Conflicting treaties, need for oil, financial obligations etc. etc. Just imagine the result of a couple of ships being sunk in the Suez canal.
If the Saudi Royal family was overthrown it wouldn’t be a positive move for the world in general. Kuwait would probably fall soon after. $10.00 a gallon gas wouldn’t be out of realm.
what a mess
If you recall, Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace prize
“for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”
If anyone is able to read that without a sarcastic laugh of disgust or a deep feeling of betrayal, then you are probably a lurker and not a Freeper.
Muslim Brotherhood = Egyptian Nazis
the more Army crackdowns on these terrorists, the better
Necessity is the "Mother of Invention". I'm sure if push came to shove, we would find an alternative to oil.
“I really couldn’t care less at this point. Let the progressives and muzzies of Egypt fight it out on their own. We shouldn’t give any of them money.”
Good, then Egypt needn’t give any of our warships special rights in the future to go to the head of the line in getting through the Suez canal, as they are currently doing. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. They can delay our military ships for as long as they want in getting through the canal. As a thank you to us for our potential dropping of aid, which is actually piddly in amount as compared to the 12 billion dollars worth of aid that Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait are providing to Egypt now. As if they need our money in comparison. We have no leverage at all, and all we offer under Obama is bad will.
Our aid bought good will, Obama has now squandered all of that, and has made an enemy of a country that was once a pretty good friend for a middle eastern state, when it was under Mubarek. Now, as our President is basically a muslim jihadist in his heart, we are persona non grata amongst the Arab states that aren’t terrorist ones. And the terrorist ones hate us too. I can’t think of a bigger ship of fools than Obama and his corrupt regime.
The House of Saud is scared sh$fless. They are between the MB uprisings and thanks to Zero. When the MB comes to their country, they know where Zero stands. He has shown his cards. Israel is just a red herring. To control the world, you must control the oil. After Saudi Arabia, he will go after the other OPEC nation.
Once the MB controls the oil producing countries, Zero will pronounce himself world leader, and invoke sharia here in the US. He will do this under blackmail from the MB in the new ME cartel. He already has the UN prepped to take our guns.
after what bathhouse barry supported in kenya in ‘07 with the ruthless odinga, wt* did they think he was gonna do when he ran America?

We can hope. Because it would be over in 5 min.
The more I think about this, sSomething seems like one big stage play.
You weren't supposed to notice, Norm Lenhart.
The theatrical production is neither very large nor very grand; then again, all that's ever needed in the Middle East are a few dozen or several hundred bathless self-proclaimed "freedom fighters" with AKs and a handful of "news" camera people. Any blood-soaked drama is enough drama there.
There's no such thing in the world as enough attention for Marxists, Muslims, or small children; the difference is most small children grow up.
No I mean a much bigger stage play. As in total world realignment.
Its certainly not so simple as good guys vs bad guys.
Today would be a beautiful day for Obama to approve of Keystone.
Would also be a beautiful day for some editorialist to write a story about how Obama wants to choke off Americas oil supplies and this was all staged just for that purpose.
Maybe something on YouTube which could go viral.
It’s easy to get caught up in the immeadiacey of whatever they F up at any given moment. But nothing is ever what it seems with this crew. And with the power of our intel network powering it...
It’s an endgame scale event in the works. Wouldn’t chock me if the Alex Jones fans are right.
We don't need an alternative to oil. We have all the oil we need, if we could just get our Middle East-sponsored envirowacko morons out of the way.
Case in point: Hollyweird douchenozzle Matt Damon, whose anti-fracking propaganda movie was funded by U.A.E. oil interests.
