If
consummated, the sale comes at a moment when Saudi society is in flux,
facing heightened contradictions. Saudi king Abdullah, who has made
various attempts at social and political reform, remains isolated and
opposed by many of his retrogressive family members and the official
Wahhabi clerics. Irfan al-Alawi and Stephen Schwartz

The Wahabbis of course schooled all (or nearly all) of the 9-11 bombers. Ahem.
So here we have it. A president named (and acting like it)
"Hussein," who is famously anti-American in thought, word and deed; and
who pisses away a billion dollars like it was a party
favor, wants this $90B. Me too, except I know that
nearly all of it will be used to solidify his radical political base,
just like nearly all the rest of the $900B in "shovel ready" stimulus
funds have. Also, is the technology he is selling comparable to
the missile guidance technology Bill Clinton sold to the Chinese Red
Army? Because anything the Saudis get is likely to become
available via lend-lease to any group that hates our guts and
promises to use it. I don't for a second think that would bother
Barry. I don't trust him. The country can't afford to.
Note that I didn't call Obama a prick, so everything here should pass muster.

So when Abdullah dies, then Saudi Arabia - one of the biggest oil producers in the world - becomes the next Afghanistan or Somalia. Plus its armed to the teeth and probably ready to help Iran take over the entire region using nuclear blackmail.
ReplyDeleteOh, great....
If it's Muslim, it's trouble. Period.
ReplyDeleteWe have all of the spare parts........

That reminds me ... We had all the spare parts for Iran's jets too. Israel sold them to Iran. I'm still pissed over that one.
ReplyDeleteI think all the Iranian jets are still downed as they bought some planes from France or Russia. Could be Brazil for all I know. Just not Israel.
ReplyDeleteI do not think the Israelis would sell Iran a bottle of pee of they were on fire, so to speak.

If Israel sold them to Iran, my bet is they were defective, or had a special glich to ensure adaptation into a dirt dart.
