$20 Billion for Saudi's to have arms.

[brettdale]

So let me guess this right, the White House wants to give Saudi Arabia $20 Billion dollars for military weapons?

IMHO, $20 Billion could buy a lot of Levees that hold, a lot of Medical aid to poor people, a lot more teachers.

Isnt Saudi Arabia richer than America though, why would they need money?

1. Hey, what better way to a perpetual war...

...than to arm the other side...

[Botany]

2. We have to offset all he money that Saudi Arabia is spending ....

.... to help the Sunnis kill Americans in Iraq and the costs of
funding radical Islam (Whabism) that is base of reference for the
Taliban.

We done gotz smart peoples doing are foreign policy thinking.

[trumad]

3. Geez---I wonder how much their legs will cost?

[pinto]

4. Yeah. I get tired of this costly 'big game' we, the EU, Russia and China play in the Mid East.

Funding rival states, arming at will, etc. etc.

Then we all look at the day-to-day news and go whaa?

5. Saudi Arabia NEEDS those weapons to liberate Iraq from the occupiers!

Oh, wait...

That's US!

Uh-oh!

Look over there! Iran is responsible for the 10% of the insurgents! Attack THEM!

[proud patriot]

6. WTF ?

My community could use some of that money :grr:

Levee's , Infrastructure of all kinds .

7. There is a payoff involved...remember Bandar "Bush" with his payoffs...

Somebody in the Bush family is skimming off a billion dollars. After all, if they ever get out of the White House, there will be a lot of expenses involved in fleeing justice.

8. 15 of the 19 911 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia!

And GWB is going to make a deal with them. I'm sorry, if they are willing to drag the country through Clinton impeachment process, I am willing to sit through Bush's. This one would be more detrimental to our country.

9. and none from Iraq
