Saudis Now Dis Bush and Put Their Hopes on Obama

If the US would replace Israel with Saudi as its primary Middle East ally and implement a peace accord between Palestinians and Israel with Israel reduced to around 10% of its current size and US funding of Israel reduced to around 10% - THEN, this country would be far more secure, much richer and quite recession proof going forward. Of course propaganda has to change - all this anti Saudi anti wahaabi farce would have to stop and in order to convince the US public why the US should effectively terminate the Israel experiment, the media would simply have to show how much Israel is really costing us in terms of wealth and security.

Saudis treat women in such an inhumane barbaric manner and have no place among civilized nations, just because of greed for oil.
To hell with the Saudi despots and their veriosn of Islam.

Obama has no plans to give away the store to the Saudi Royals. Bow and make nice at meetings? Sure. Give them what they want? Not a chance. Barack very well knows what side they are on when it comes to Iran, Israel, Pakistan, 9/11, and oil. They are always on the side of extreme Islam. They're a "Kingdom" (whatever the heck that is). Remember?

The Bush Administration exhibited remarkably poor judgement by invading Iraq. It did not take any secret knowledge to see that it would be disasterous to Iraq, the Middle East and the United States of America. I have the strong suspicion that such precipitate and arbitrary action will take decades to undo. By the same token, The House of Saud should take a firm stand, publicly and privately, in opposition to religious fanaticism.

They are one of the largest causes of the current situation in the middle east. They care about one of two things; their money or their power.
If it weren't for the Saudi royal family the threat of global terrorism would be far less.
So I for one don't care what they think. I never trusted them, I wasn't a fan of President Bush, and I am totally against President Obama policies to date.
Until we worry about America first we will continue to have the same issues as we have today.
