About six to nine months ago it was stated that the U.S. was going to increase student visas to 70,000 for Saudi students.

I have quoted that figure extensively. Now they’re addressing 30,000. What the hell?

Do we ever get the straight scoop on anything?

From the State Department Website:

Ford M. Fraker was sworn in on April 11, 2007 as U.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. At the time of his nomination by President George W. Bush, Ambassador Fraker was serving as Chairman of the Trinity Group Limited, a private investment banking firm in the United Kingdom and as consultant for Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation in Boston, MA.

As George W. Bush has stated, “There exists an eternal friendship between the United States and Saudi Arabia.”

Now, you know the surge in Iraq has solved all problems. No need worry about the Saudis, and no need to worry about our still wide open borders.

We are absolutely bending over backward for our oil buddies. Why even have visas at all? Let’s just let all the Wahhabis come on in. Hell, let’s have a big halal meal and a deluxe Bible-free, booze-filled room waiting for them, no charge. I want them to have a great vacation in Infidel land.

Still haven’t secured our borders, and now we are going to double the number of students from the Terrorist-supporting country of Saudi Arabia.

Someone please wake me up when we decide to actually fight a war on Terror...

Thank you, Oorang. Last time I was in the grocery store there were four Saudi students shopping; they appeared to be very angry young men.

Not until Saudi doubles the amount of oil it’s pumping.

No more Arabs. In fact, we need to get rid of the ones we have.

Gosh, I know those Al-Qaeda types might pilot jetliners into office towers, blow up skyscrapers with demolitions, use anthrax and chemical weapons against our civilian population but they'd never stoop so low as to violate our immigration laws...
