When Afghanistan was invaded by Russia the Taliban was the good guys we sold them weapons that were later used against us...... Iraq used weapons we sold them against our troops in the first gulf war...... How many fighter jets have we sold Iran ? Now Bush wants to sell Saudis Weapons ????? No I cant explain it...... but it could be a need for greed ......

At first I did not get it, then I remembered him holding hands with Prince Bandar. He would sell this country out from under us just to help his rich buddies make more money. Selling weapons to the Saudis is a bad stinking idea
Saudi Arabia provided funding to Al Qaeda up until 2002
Saudis have been pouring in over the Iraqi borders and helping in the insurgency and ultimately the attacks on our soldiers.
Just great, Bush will sell arms to the Saudis which will probably end up killing our boys. No way in hell should we give them any arms at all no matter what the excuse right now.

Saudi Arabia is more important to the weaselly oil pimp-Bush, than the infrastructure is here in the states. 10 years ago a study was released that warned of bridges, etc, collapsing because enough money wasn't being spent towards the maintenance and rebuilding of the infrastructure. Star Wars Defense and more nukes are more important to the right. Thats why we are rapidly shrinking in importance in the world. VOTE anything but REPUBLICAN.

because of the fact the Saudis have long gone and wiped sparkling abode on their own. evidently which you have been too busy gazing cartoons in the years of 2002-2005 to study each and every of the information comments of the battles between Al Quaeda and the Saudi police and militia. BTW - Saudi Arabia won and Al Quaeda had their butts kicked.

Didn't most of the 9/11 attackers came from Saudi Arabia? Huh, funny.

It's really very simple.
The Bush family has strong personal ties with the Saudi royal family, going back decades.
Nothing else matters in the equation -- to Bush, at least.

It is because Saudi is our good friends. Look at how much help they offered to us after Katrina.
The answer will SHOCK you.
