3. How About Our Friends The Saudis?
The deafening noise here are our "friends" in Riyadh...the ones who put up the folding green for Gulf Oil War I...and are nowhere to be found in this mess.

Now you'd think Prince Bandr would love to be a media darling...stepping up on the White House Lawn and handing that 60 billion dollar check to the Chimpster. But where is he?

Or there's our eternally grateful Kuwaiti friends who are now a lot safer from the pillage of Saddam (trading it for a Chalabi pillage instead) and not a dime of help there either. Guess playing the largest sandtrap/military base serves BushCo. just fine.

Also where's the Arab league? The summit in Cairo or Beirut or Carpetland U.S.A. to discuss what's going on in Iraq and present an "Arab front"/resolution to this mess?

I don't know what's worse...the silence of our "Arab" friends while Whistle Ass twists in the wind or their silence to their own people giving an official consent to this on-going travesty of international law.
