Dept. of Shit We Can’t Believe
Bush to Give Saudi Arabia Lots of Guns, Bombs
President Bush contends the Saudi military needs upgrading
This is rich. According to the New York Times, President Shitforbrains is getting ready to ask Congress to give Saudi Arabia $20 billion in new military hardware, paid out steadily over the next 10 years. This would include all kinds of satellite-guided bombs, upgrades to fighters and all kinds of other fancy shit so’s our friends in the House of Saud can continue to spread freedom in the Middle East.
It’s a shame that President Chim Cim doesn’t read his intelligence reports or, you know, the newspaper from time to time. Were he to glance at one, he might have noticed this item in the LA Times a couple of weeks ago, or this one from the New York Times. Or this one, from, er, Editor and Publisher.
About 45% of all foreign militants targeting U.S. troops and Iraqi civilians and security forces are from Saudi Arabia; 15% are from Syria and Lebanon; and 10% are from North Africa, according to official U.S. military figures made available to The Times by the senior officer. Nearly half of the 135 foreigners in U.S. detention facilities in Iraq are Saudis[.]
Yeah, man, go right ahead, arm the fuck out of our “friends” or “allies” or whatever - pretty sure it can’t get any worse over there. Or hey, how about this. Just take your pick of a landmark or airport or whatever some terrorist cell might want to blow up and just go ahead and do it yourself?
