Blowback


Our country really has to think about this at a more serious level. There are a lot of complaints about the proposed Saudi arms deal, but nobody is pointing out that a far, far more serious issue is the ocean of money we send the Saudis and other folks for oil.

We are the strategic armorer of the jihadis.

Do you suppose for one second that Saudi Arabia and Iran would have the prestige they have in the Middle East if it didn't have the means to arm, train and fund myriad Hezbollahs, Hamas and other rejectionist organizations, and crazy people in Pakistan?

I am not too worried about the Saudis having JDAMs. I am very, very worried about giving people that don't like us trillions of dollars.
