Back during Desert Storm I a Saudi official was quoted in the WSJ saying, "Why should I send my own son to die for the Kuwaitis when I have my white slaves from America to do it for me ?"
Now the Islamic world has a long history of 'slave soldiers' like ghulams or Mamluks or Janissaries who were the model for the fictional "Sardaukar" in "Dune". But it still stings. It stings because the Gulf Arabs are so accustomed to dealing with corrupt Americans that they have no real respect for us. They are used to stupid girls who thought they were marrying into Arabian Nights. They are used to whores. They are used to State Department Arabists who look forward to cozy careers as Saudi lobbyists. After 9/11 when they sent a delegation to a WTO conference in NYC, they decided to embark on a 'charm offensive'. As if throwing around big tips in Manhattan would endear them to us.
The UAE was convinced that they had greased the right people and this would easily go through. They greased Limbaugh plenty. They are angry and shocked to see that not every American has his price.

Excellent post, man.
Why would anyone care about that silly story? Worse have been said here about solid Republicans by the Ideological Idiots leading this jihad.
Now your LIES have spread to accusing Rush of being a traitor.
That is the sort of idiocy which one would expect from a Lover of Losers. Who is your dream guy? Buchanan, Tancredo, the candidate of the Constitution party, someone even less capable of getting more than 1% of the vote?
