Weiner, Nadler Oppose a Deal To Arm Saudis

Submitted by Charles Bowman, Jul 30, 2007 11:53

I wholeheartedly agree with Nadler and Weiner. The Saudis have aided the insurgency in Iraq with weapons and combatants. Talk about Al Qaeda! Saudis comprised most of the 911 hijackers! Now, because of our hapless invasion of Iraq, we are trying to change course or suggest to the Shia in Iraq that we might,in order to make them more suggestible to our micromanaging of their affairs, be about to arm their enemies. Our invasion was illegal and evil. It will never be blessed, but with horror to the Iraqis and to our GIs. That we should do anything to ratchet up the likelihood of escalated warfare between the many factions and nations interested in the outcome of that nation's nightmare, is malicious indeed, exceeded only by ludicrousness. This is simply another obvious war that the oil barons are trying to assemble for a house of cards full of the same gullible Congressmen who fell for the last fallacious arguments to blunder into Iraq. Since we're so successful in the first idiot move, give us more power to make it right! Do not aid and abet a record of complete failure or it will come back to haunt you! Is there a billion dollar bribe included in this juicy deal like there was in the Saudi deal to buy armaments from the British! Who's getting the big bucks this time. Check Prince Bandar's contacts in America. Will he purchase all of our slavish Congressmen who are slaves to everyone but the people who send them to Washington.
