The Saud royal family walks a tightrope between the necessity of keeping the support of the wahhabi clerics to stay in control of their country and the necessity of selling oil to the west for money.
Osama bin Laden first sought to overthrow the Sauds, was caught, jailed and exiled, before he wound up in Afghanistan. His grudge against the US is that OUR money keeps the Sauds in power over the holy sites of Saudi Arabia that he wants to put under an Islamic Caliphate.
Slim help is better than none.

They are not. For decades they have funded the terrorists in order to maintain their own power in Saudi Arabia. The Saudis are the source of the financing that allows terrorism to flourish in the world.

Because the Bush family are longtime family friends of the Saudi royal family.
Nothing else beyond that seems to matter to Bush.
And Congress seems utterly clueless.

Some of us have been asking this question for years.
The answer is, they are not our ally.
Our government and the billionaires that make their billions in cahootz with them, just tell us they are.
Who do you think fund Al-Queda and other extremist anti-American groups?

Yeah, I think we should be really careful selling weapons to any Radical Islamic country. I don't trust S.A. any more than Iran honestly.

Russia and France are also our allies in the war on terror.
