Never Forget... Anything For A Buck

The Saudis are bedouins, in other words thieves. Standard Oil explored and developed the oil resources on the Arabian Peninsula. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was paid a royalty for the resource they had neither the ability nor inclination to develop. In the 1950’s the Kingdom threatened to nationalize, in other words steal, the oil industry which Standard Oil had developed. The US government got involved and as a compromise Standard Oil was forced to pay to the Kingdom 50% of their annual profit.
> President Trump is building a ‘Unit’ to combat Terrorism, that’s why the Saudi thing
We don’t need to arm the Saudis to combat terrorism. The Saudis will agree to Trump’s program while it suits their purposes. Once they receive sufficient arms they will turn the chaos spigot back on.
It is sick and sickening to arm those who attack us, those who have a well developed plan of “civilization jihad” against us.
Yeah well he better get it out of first gear pretty damn soon.
He didn’t campaign on it or anything remotely like it.
Rush pointed out yesterday Brennan is a Muslim who voted for the Communist Party candidate for POTUS in 1976.
When are you going to quit doubting what he does and know that he knows what he is doing? Just because he doesn't say what YOU think he should do and say doesn't mean that the man isn't on top of things...
>>completely lawless<<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Politics of the Left are modeled after Bolsheviks who were modeled after the riotous, murderous Jacobins.
I didn’t listen to Rush yesterday but read his reports and yes he did point to the fact that Brennan is a Muslim...
I hope that they clean them out of our government, the DNC has the one under Tom Perez as another one: Keith Ellison...
> When are you going to quit doubting...
He’s a man. He’s fallible. He’s made a mistake despite what the goggle wearers at CTH say. There’s good analysis there, but a lot of goggles too.
He has done some things I have wondered about, then later I find out he was right...that’s my stand and always will be!!!
Secondly, the Saudi monarchy was the principal target of Al Qaeda. Blaming them for what a group seeking to overthrow them has done, would be like blaming the Chinese Nationalists for Chairman Mao's murdering tens of millions of Chinese to overthrow the Nationalists.
Thirdly, Donald Trump has long opposed the idea of our trying to restructure the social order in other Nations. His whole approach in the recent Saudi trip is to pivot back to the American foreign policy, which treated all peoples with respect--so long, of course, as we received respect back. Trump is taking us back to the policy, which once made us the most respected people on earth (before Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Clinton, Bush II & Obama, endorsed the notion of globalists, meddling in everyone's domestic affairs for agenda that had nothing whatever to do with the legitimate interests of Americans.
Here's to the President who recognized that the policy of the meddlers was not in American interests.
I made no mention of Al Qaeda
Never Forget... Anything For A Buck
No you did not mention them (Al Qaeda) and they are very relevant to the subject, and to my points in how to fight Terror, in the linked article.
> It also helps to defray the costs to the taxpayers of keeping our weapons industry the very best
Hey let’s sell arms to Russia and China!
And it is hardly a case of aiding a foe. The Saudis and Kuwaitis were our friends before the first Gulf War. They poured money into our stock market, after the crash in 1987, propping up American investors. I am not suggesting that it was necessarily altruistic--they made sound investments in their own interest. But it sure was not an indication of hostility.
Saudi Arabia is not our friend.
The first Gulf War was based on Kuwaiti lies. We were duped into doing their dirty work.
Then-Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar, a member of the Saudi royal family, and his wife sent checks totaling ~$130,000 to Osama Bassnan while he was handling two of the hijackers, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar. They hijacked the plane and flew it into the Pentagon.
The Saudi ambassador to the US paid for people to hijack our planes and fly them into our military headquarters. With “friends” like that who needs enemies?
Comey better be enjoying these days...they could be his last on Earth. If he turns state’s evidence, well, what bunker in a South Sea Island is well enough hidden to keep him from the Clinton Crime Machine? And if he doesn’t, then he’s on his own and he better be booking passage to the moon. It’s all unraveling and the DOJ has at least enough of his files to finish them all.
But even if Kuwait had tried to conquer Iraq, rather than the unprovoked takeover that actually happened, it is clearly 100% in our interests to work with the Saudis & Kuwaitis in respect to the current international terrorist attack on civilization. By your logic, even if your fantasies were real, we would not be able to work with the Japanese, today, by reason of what happened at Pear Harbor.
This is a ridiculous discussion. Again, Donald Trump scored an impressive achievement last weekend in the Near East; your denial notwithstanding.
