60 Billion Dollar Arms Deal for Saudi Arabia

Sure 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 came from Saudi Arabia. Sure Osama Bin Laden came from Saudi Arabia. Sure 19 US service member were killed in the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1996. Sure Saudi Arabia refused to assist the US in the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Sure they refused to allow our military the use of their bases.

Eventually Saudi even demanded the US get out altogether. Which we did. Even though we were in Saudi Arabia to protect their country from Saddam.

No matter though. Our thank you was a swift kick in the azz and clear instructions to get out.

So now as reward for all these slaps in the face the US is about to build up the Saudi military. That is what Boeing and other US contractors want. So that is what will happen. Doesn't matter what the long term implications are.

It only matters that the dollar bills are green and stacked high.

The fact that the money Saudi Arabia will use comes from US oil purchases. The fact that when oil prices skyrocketed (over the last 10 years) there was Saudi Arabia cutting production. None of that matters.

We will hand over our prized military technology anyway.

After all It isn't about what is right or wrong it is only about the money.
