Would you trust this guy with your daughter or jump into a foxhole with him?
The Arab people make finesse-lying a sport, since for centuries they have had not a lot else to do but create and tell stories, and once they have screwed you they will tell the world about it by way of a comedic fable or tale...

What worries me is the inability or unwillingness of our national leadership to to burst out in guffaws at the effrontery of the Saudis who hide behind their paper-thin idealogie. It seems we are as willing to prostitute and or prostrate ourselves to feed our addiction to petroleum as much as any junkie ever did for his horse.
