Only conservatives would cry about losing an "alliance" with a theocratic monarchy.
And one that manipulates terrorists to attack us, while urging us to attack nations in the middle east.
Ah bullshit.
If W had "lost" the alliance with the Saudis during his time in Office, all you liberals and so-called "progressives" would have been on him like stupid on a twoofer.
Who gives a rat's ass if Saudi Arabia is (or is not) a theocratic based monarchy? How THEY run their own part of the world is supposedly not our fuckin' business, anyway. Or so we have all been repeatedly told -- by liberals.
The point is not whether we happen to like or care for their form of "government." The point is: does our relationship with them -- in terms of international diplomacy -- help us or hurt us now that they have exposed this significant rift?
And the fact is: we do get huge volumes of fucking OIL from that region. So it has very probably been in our interest to be on more or less good terms with them.
Obumbler is fucking EVERYTHING up.
