Saudi Arabia has been the major cash supplier for Hamas, and the roots and financial base for Al Queda (and the Taliban) was clearly SA. And we know that Egypt winks and nods at weapons transfers through the tunnels into Gaza.

Not saying either is right, obviously. But we would get a lot further with Russia if we drank our own medicine.

So where's the proof. There is as much proof for that (by the way, Dioxin has no known fatalities) as the French claim that we blew up our own Pentagon.

That good president was busy meeting with Hildabeast, Liberman and McCrazy. This after the EU had to beat him off with a stick. He's also very busy kissing up to Schrodder and Chirac after announcing an accelerated pull out schedule.

I think you are missing the key element here - US weapons are not going to terrorists via a single proxy - Russian weapons are.

Saudi Arabia isn't? Funny, they and Pakistan were the only ones to recognize and actively fund the Taliban, not to mention Al Quida.

Not from the government, not after we had words with them.

That's why they are still banning any FBI investigations and execute any and all prisoners before we can interview them. The Saudis control all the media and the mosques and those still pump out mass anti-Americanism at every opportunity.

Are you telling me you can see no substantial difference between Saudi behavior and Iranian behavior?

A FReudian and/or alcoholic slip, methinks.

Yes there is a difference, the Saudis do it more covertly and then spend $50 million in DC to make sure they've got their backs covered from our cruise missiles.

Because they give nuclear technology to Iran, flak for North Korea, provide advanced arms to both of those and to Syria, talk the talk but only to pull the wool over our eyes while they back all of our enemies and make as many messes for us as possible. Including recklessly playing with nuclear fire. They are not remotely our friends. And as long as they behave in such ways, we would be entirely right to do everything in our power to tear down everything they touch. We don't because we are saps.

By the way, Vodka is made out of pure grain alcohol, that is wheat. Russians and other eastern Europeans have been making Vodka for about 1,000 years, ever since wheat was bred/cross polinated enough to allow large enough kernals that had enough sugar in them to create Vodka. Before that, like most northern Europeans they drank meed.

Now the potatoe thing is something the Poles came up with and call it Vodka and that's been around for about 2-300 years.

Actually they don't give arms to Korea, well not north Korea. South Korea, however has several divisions of T-80Us facing off with N.Koreas T-62s. As for Iran, that's civilian nuke technology, it's our "ally" Pakistan who keeps giving them Chinese tech (formerly our tech until Clinton came to town) to the Iranians. There was an article posted today again underlying that fact.

Further, they helped us out with Afghanistan by directly arming the Northern Alliance that over threw the Taliban. A lot of those N.Alliance tanks came with slavic crews already inside.

Syria is another matter. That is dumb, plain, dumb, especially when those weapons are just as likely to end up in Chechnya as in Baghdad. They also arm the Israelies and provide Israel with most of its oil.
