Anyone who thinks the U.S. and its political elite are serious about combatting terrorism should watch this documentary. The Saudi regime is the world's largest sponsor of Islamic terrorism, yet is our second biggest ally in the region save Israel. Iran and Assad are Quakers compared to the Saudi regime.

Yeah a BBC report came out not too long ago that they were fighting side by side with Al Qaeda I think it was against Iranian back forces. Also not so good on human rights.

But the geopolitical consequences of their oil reserves and opposition to Iran have us on the same side for lack of a better term.

I caught that last night on PBS. Nothing really new to me personally, but eye-opening for most Americans.

We, the US, have aligned ourselves with some very shady elements in the past and I don't see it changing anytime soon with the Sauds.

Unless they run out of oil over night. Then the camel frickers will find themselves alone, very, very alone.

Welcome to things I said a year ago but people went jack shite crazy because they had their head shoved up Fox New's propaganda arse. It's amazing how far this country has come since then, in how it views the world. It still has a long way to go, but it's nice to see some progress.

Meh. House of Saud is to Sunnis what Iran is to Shia. If it is Sunnis vs almost anyone else they will back them. I don't like it but it is part of the regional dynamic.
