Gee, doesn’t it make you feel good to know that our dear buds the Saudis managed to turn the horror of 9/11 into the beginning of a period of prosperity by divesting from us as much as they could? Why, it seems like only yesterday when Henry Kissinger and his pals hooked up with these characters to make each other richer than they already were. Now, the Saudis (through a combination of deceit, cleverness, and our own greed and stupidity) are venturing elsewhere and leaving us to try and manage a war in Iraq with no end in sight and an economy barely producing wealth for the have-mores and doing very little else.
(Oops, I forgot to mention how the Saudis bankrolled all kinds of foreign “intelligence” escapades for us during the Reagan Administration, who could conveniently pass the buck to Bill Casey when it all hit the fan on account of the fact that he was dead. If you don’t believe me, fine; read “Veil” by Bob Woodward, and you see what I mean).
