As long as our government (USA) continues to do business with the Saudis how can we take them (our federal government) serious when they say they want to stop ISIS?

In 2011, the State Department cleared an enormous arms deal: Led by Boeing, a consortium of American defense contractors would deliver $29 billion worth of advanced fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, despite concerns over the kingdom's troublesome human rights record. In the years before Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, Saudi Arabia had contributed $10 million to the Clinton Foundation, and just two months before the jet deal was finalized, Boeing donated $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation, according to an International Business Times investigation released Tuesday.

Screw the Taxpayers, to arm the Saudis -- who abuse their citizens & fund terrorists, but don't use these weapons to take out ISIS -- and feed the MIC fat cats -- all at the same time.
Quite a feat actually, but a disgusting one for sure.
