Thank you. I knew Bushco was calling Saudi Arabia our ally in spite of the fact that 15 of the 9/11 terrorists were from SA but I didn't know we were sending those filthy rich SOBs money as well. WTF mate? Glad to hear that's been put to an end.

there does need to be some type of aid to the ME however, it has to be very carefully administered, and it should be put towards trying to spur job growth and employment in the ME, it's not surprising that these people become terrorists when some of these places have 50% unemployment, they have nothing to lose

Yes, now if they can only follow it up by cutting the rest of the foreign aid going everywhere else.

Without our aid and support how will they afford to provide pilots to fly into American buildings?

Yes. Aid to them should never have started in the 1st place.
