Why don’t you list the instances of American presence in the middle east prior to 9/11 and give us your perception as to why the American presence in these locations existed.
Despite its at times anti-Western rhetoric, Saudi Arabia has been very dependent on Western military assistance for its security needs. When President Saddam Hussein of Iraq invaded Saudi Arabia's northern neighbor Kuwait in 1990 during the Persian Gulf War, Saudi Arabia immediately requested the deployment of US troops within the country to deter further aggression.
Additionally, the country's oil exports through the shipping lanes of the Persian Gulf are protected by the US Fifth Fleet, based in Bahrain.
So one terrorist, ObSama Bin Laden, didn't like US presence in Saudi Arabia and we are supposed to leave?
You do know the terrorists have been trying to overthrow the Royal family in SA, don't you?
Strange chain of events:
ONE woman has prayer removed from our schools.
ONE man is primarily responsible for removing the word "GOD" from the public square, our pledge and soon our money.
ONE terrorist demands land for peace and sends an entire region into chaos for decades.
ONE more terrorist objects to US presence in SA, amasses an army and starts a global war using terrorism.
Hi! Stole your graphic. ;*)
Any time, my FRiend!
Tanks! ;*)
Allowing McCain to be elevated well beyond his highest level of competency, far overshadows any shenanigans that the Democrat's get whitey candidate can perpetrate.
From my perspective, the DNC is acting like a child and their actions generates no surprise nor indignation. The RNC, on the other hand, should be ashamed.
Good work.
“Why don’t you list the instances of American presence in the middle east prior to 9/11 and give us your perception as to why the American presence in these locations existed.”
I asked a simple question to clarify something that someone said. I’m not going to make you a list, google works on your computer as well as mine.
“So one terrorist, ObSama Bin Laden, didn’t like US presence in Saudi Arabia and we are supposed to leave?”
Wasn’t my point. I was simply trying to get someone to clarify a statement that he made that did not ring true with me.
“You do know the terrorists have been trying to overthrow the Royal family in SA, don’t you?”
Honest to God, I do not give a rats ass about the saudi royal family.
“Despite its at times anti-Western rhetoric, Saudi Arabia has been very dependent on Western military assistance for its security needs.”
So they need us, but they hate us. Sounds like a healthy relationship.
Islamonazi violence is and has been pervasive. Our presence in the Middle East is irrelevant. They are trying to reduce the world to a caliphate.
It's unfortunate that we are funding that effort by our will to play far in a free-market economy. I see we just let Israel demolish Iran while we take out Syria and restore Lebanon to the Lebanese who were friends of the West before the Islamonazis took it over. And then we beef up our military presence in Saudi Arabia and say, “Get busy making oil. We'll still pay you for it, but if it goes to fund terrorists, we'll do you like we did the others.”
That's what the ignorant liberals think. If we just leave it will all go away.
Obama is folly quintessential.
I never knew you read my local paper. :-)
