I really fail to understand why we do not look upon Saudi Arabia as our mortal enemy?
They were the perps on 9-11,
they are the ones financing much of this terrorism and still our fool bows to their “king”?
“king”? Why, cause many years ago you had the biggest army?
King? horse pooh.

The Saudis have done a superb job at infiltrating and bribing their way into our ruling elite. They are crafty and probably the sleaziest of all the Arabs (and that’s a high bar). They’ve infiltrated around here (Northern Virginia) and are biding their time, building up strength.

I still remember France refusing us air rights for our bombers when we struck back at Libya for terrorists bombings of bars and discos that killed American soldiers

I was in the chow hall at Osan when it came across the TV that Reagan had managed a very effective attack despite the intransigence of some of our "allies" - made up for when i was in Italy and we got word of Carter's fiasco in the desert....

Standing joke of the US Army was the rifle range of the Frenchies was not, ready, aim fire but ready, aim, flee and to graduate from the French military academy you must be able to accurately say, I surrender in at least 47 of the world’s languages.
