Unfortunately for we infidels, the bastard will probably return.

"and, then there was stuxnet"

If you think Obama had anything to do with that, you do know much about how that would have occurred. That was well in place for quite a while and probably more an Israeli plan that the US but started out a joint operation. I would imagine that by this time most of the joint operations have been placed on the back burner, way in the back.

[bert]

Not Obama, of course not.

I suspect the Saudis had a hand in the various operations disrupting the Iranian nuclear endeavor

Stand by for the new photos of Air Force one circling over Mecca.

It has minerets.

[WHBates]

Yes, that is probably likely, under Bush we had lots of partners and probably forged cooperation between Saudi, Israel, and Jordan among others

In Iraq..when govt polygraphers would come in to validate local nationals working inside sensative areas... They would basically flatline the poly.,.give no indication that they knew or where involved in insurgent activity....they spent more time defining lying..why it is bad...and what insurgent activity meant than actually taking the poly...

Bottom line...they lie as a culture and it is accepted... Where it is a bad behavior here...well, Obama may transform that and do to lying what Bill Clinton did for marijuana use!

[Bigg Red]

One tyrant honoring another, then.

+1

[bert]

no, King Abdullah was not a tyrant

to make such a claim is to exhibit ignorance

[tet68]

Too bad Michele, NO TAJ FOR YOU!

Why is she going in the first place?

[Bigg Red]

I haven’t seen anyone claim that the Saudi government prepared the 9/11 fanatics to carry on that murderous mission. Or that they did not cooperate in cracking down on such schemes afterwards.

BCR, your take?

[bert]

did not the wookie and her spawn visit the Taj in the first term?

[Bigg Red]

Aack! Let me try that again — this time with the right screen name.

WooHoo. A chance to make some easy money! Does anyone have the Vegas over/under on who and how many selfies the Narcissist in Chief takes with the corpse or other notables? How about the number of bows to outright enemies and so called “friends”. Come on now! Baby needs some new shoes!

[bert]

You are correct

however general ignorance of things Saudi prevails and dogma has developed that is repeated over and over even though totally baseless

[Bigg Red]

What is your response to the link at #5?

[jhroberts]

I’m pretty sure that it would be ok by a majority of real Americans if Barry the SCOAMF just stayed over in Saudi Arabia with his fellow muslims.
