The stuff behind the curtain with the Saudis is highly distasteful, but it's a favor for favor thing. We owe them for something and we pay it back, no matter how much it stinks, and then they return the favor with something stinky that we want....been going on for decades...
I wish Glenn luck, but he's likely going to be frustrated in his efforts to gain attention on this matter.....I guess we shall see..
It’s like the scene from the movie “Network”.....
“You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I won’t have it! Is that clear? You think you’ve merely stopped a business deal. That is not the case! The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country, and now they must put it back! It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity!”
I wonder whether the “Saudi thing” is their support of the Chechen terrorist duo. Those two have been driving expensive cars and living large...where did the money come from?

A good and perceptive post. “Agreements” and “understandings” are made all the time between nations. Many are distasteful, if not repugnant. Not unlike domestic politics with it’s exchange of favors and IOU’s. Just on a different level.
Beck might well have insights into the “deal” this time. Let’s hope he exposes it.
