We think of it as Chaplin-like. He is also a very good boy, as is his brother.

Since the 1950s the best military technology available has been supplied to the rulers of Saudi Arabia to stop that from happening. There is probably no other nation that has paid the US for the transfer of arms. And that includes Saddam (pre-baddie days) and Iran (a very good customer back then). Money for oil goes to the Saudis, money for arms comes back. There is not going to be a revolution.

Something like 1/3rd of the world's available sweet crude was under Iraq. If the 9/11 attacks were traced back to Italy, they still would have invaded Iraq. Due to Saddam having a big moustache or something.

Turkey is one of the places that the Bush Regime sent people to disappear. After they were tortured.

And like they give a fuck about this? They still want that guy sheltering in the USA to 'question' too. He'd last just as long as Jamal here did once he's safe in custody. There was a coup in Saudi Arabia last year and it is not in the least bit suprising that in the US there is zero awareness of that.

Damn right it is Big Brother. And Big Brother is not going to let anyone ask any embarrassing questions.

And Saudi oil is the thing that keeps your nation going. That and the hundreds of billions worth of arms they purchase from the US. Oil goes in and bombs come out. You suprised that any who might upset that cozy relationship gets taken out?

Shouldn't there be concern in there somewhere? I really think there has to be concern.
