$20 Billion for Saudi's to have arms. |
|
So let me guess this right, the White House wants to give Saudi Arabia $20 Billion dollars for military weapons?
IMHO, $20 Billion could buy a lot of Levees that hold, a lot of Medical aid to poor people, a lot more teachers.
Isnt Saudi Arabia richer than America though, why would they need money?

4. Yeah. I get tired of this costly 'big game' we, the EU, Russia and China play in the Mid East. |
|
Funding rival states, arming at will, etc. etc.
Then we all look at the day-to-day news and go whaa?

7. There is a payoff involved...remember Bandar "Bush" with his payoffs... |
|
Somebody in the Bush family is skimming off a billion dollars. After all, if they ever get out of the White House, there will be a lot of expenses involved in fleeing justice.

8. 15 of the 19 911 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia! |
|
And GWB is going to make a deal with them. I'm sorry, if they are willing to drag the country through Clinton impeachment process, I am willing to sit through Bush's. This one would be more detrimental to our country.
