"....but, but, but..... “The Saudis are our friends”, George Bush told me so."

That line has been used concerning dictator Putin too.

After Damascus & Tehran are dealt with, the Saudis bank-rollers of Wahhabist terrorism should be next.

In any other time in world history - they would have been invaded and destroyed - and their oil taken from them.

But the world is much smarter now. /sarc

Actually Bush said that there was an “Eternal Friendship between the US and Saudi Arabia.”

Saudis giving money to Al Quadea is not always voluntary. I knew several who had children being educated in England. They were blackmailed. Al Quadea is a criminal gang.

They were aware that a few others had children murdered or disappear. With Al Quadea having cells world wide, it can present a difficult choice for wealthy Saudis.
