They've insulted our Christian God

God can take care of himself. I'm still pretty pissed about the 3,000 Americans the Saudi government helped murder.

I say let's invade Saudi Arabia for their oil and wipe them off the face of the earth-

Sounds like a plan to me.

then we'll offer the contract back to Britain-

We'll work out the split later. We can't leave the Aussies and the Poles out.

Yes God can, and He uses His people to carry out His plans- so the issue is still a go. They've insulted God, & seeing how muslims like to murder htose who insult muhammed, I thought we'd return the favor. But seriously- it may come to that in the very near future- Mahmouds letter to the U.S. was NOT sincere, it was a fulfilment of Muslim obligation to offer the enemy a chance to unconditionally surrender before all out war is raged- Mahmoud fulfilled his duty by writing that letter- you can guess what comes next- We'll HAVE to take the war to them if he carries out the next steps.

The Brits will cave. The planes will be sold.

My thought is that the Frogs were allowed to bid to keep the Brit price under control. I don't think the Frogs actually get along well with the Saudis. They have tried to screw the Saudis before and were hung out to dry.

Let the House of Saud buy from France. The frog-built planes will be that much easier to splash than the EF Typhoon.

Britain is getting extorted. The saudis have them by the balls and the oil rich muzzie's know it.

It not extortion by any stretch of the imagination, its simple the way the House of Saud has always done defense contracts. The US plays this game better than anyone.

I am surprised we let the Brits in on the scam.

Read “Sleeping with the Devil”, “How America sold its sole for Saudi Oil”.

We should have toppled the House of Saud before Hussein.

That's exactly what I've been saying for years. Hussein was a monster, but no religious fanatic (e.g. Christians had it better in many parts of Iraq then than now.), he was a Stalinist, his vision was not that of Al Qaida, but rather a pan-Arabic "Sowjet Union II", with Iraq at its center holding the world hostage by controlling most of its oil.

Don't get me wrong, the world is a better place without him. But if you're looking for Islamic fascists, Saudi Arabia is the right place. It is no coincidence that the bulk of the 9-11 attackers were Saudis, not Iraqis, because Islam under the Sauds is a sick, sick ideology.

Rather than supplying them with weapons and support, the west should have dealt with that murderous regime first.

This is the only thing you said that I'd change;

because Islam under the Sauds is a sick, sick ideology.

Yeah. You'll replace it with a Sunni Iran. A benevolent dictatorship is what they can manage best. Any popularly elected government would shake out along tribal lines and end up extreme.

Do you mean more extreme than:

Refusing to allow a single Christian church to be built in their country?

Confiscating any Bible brought into their country?

Refusing to allow jews into their country?

Openly calling for the destruction of Israel?

Funding Hamas?

Funding Hezbollah?

Refusing women the right to vote?

Refusing women the right to drive?

Stoning 'adulterers' to death?

Funding every single wahabbi mosque on the planet?

Do you mean more extreme than that?
