U.S. Okays $6 Billion Arms for Saudi Arabia

Well, all the existential threats they face - Iraq, Jordan, Yemen, Oman, Emirates, Qatar, Bahrein, Kuwait, Iran, Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia... Or internal revolts like the Shia in al Hasa province

Israel is one option. But don't overlook the other - some of these weapons secretly making their way to al Qaeda. There is an evil part of me that hopes that the latter is the case, and ...

The other possibility - and the most optimistic one - is that they are planning to support the Sunnis in Iraq from the Iranian backed Shia. This is really the best scenario - $10b less for the Saudis to spend on international dawa, which goes to the Pentagon, while the armaments from this transaction supply the Sunnis in their jihad against the Rafidite dogs in Iraq. And if such generousity can spread to Syria, who can complain?

If this was really a threat to Israel, they could destroy it on the ground in one fell swoop - a la the Egyptian Air Force in 1967. And while I'm hoping for that, why not throw that illustrious Syrian Air Force into the mix? That would be even better - Pentagon richer by $10b, $10b less to the Dawa, and 10b worth of armaments either used in the real inner-Jihad (Sunni vs Shia), or destroyed in the hangers.

Not even 5 years yet since 9/11, and we are selling $6 billion military armaments to "our staunch ally" Saudi Arabia, home of almost all the 9/11 hijackers, home of OBL, source of funding for Al Qaeda, practitioner of Sharia, sponsor and profligator of Wahabbism.

In the memory of the 2976: Shame, shame, shame.

ALL JW BLOGGERS TAKE HEART

You are all ahead of your time. The public in your respective countries are blissfully unaware of the true nature of the evil we all face.

Ignorance is bliss is it not? No doubt we all remember when we just 'got on with our lives' without this nagging knowledge at the back of our minds.

Nowadays our lives are more complicated and our frustration mounting. This frustration rears its head the most when we hear our politicians proclaiming our enemies to be harmless or when a celebrity chooses the 'popular' causes like this morning a woman on the BBC news who said "I would love to play a Palestinian refugee, (actress), as i'm on their side at the moment". This an English woman who has nothing to do with the middle east yet has followed the terrorist propaganda with zest. Little does she know about the rockets launched at Israeli towns, FOR WEEKS BEFORE the kidnapping, from Hamas terrorists using Palestinian homes for launching platforms and surrounding themselves with children as human shields with the blessing of the children’s parents.

Our frustration also rears its head when we speak to neighbors or friends who state the mantra that "Islam is a peaceful religion" and firmly believe it without a smidgen of knowledge of it. Even without such knowledge they don’t want to believe their eyes and ears about the 5,000+ fatal terrorist acts committed since 9/11 and only by Muslims. (partly due to censorship in the MSM). Our culture is now based on self loathing and having no principals and never standing up for them.

Our frustration is the same a Churchill’s in the years prior to WW2. Churchill bashed away in the House of Commons week in week out proclaiming the Nazi threat. He was denounced on more than one occasion as a lunatic, with the government attempting the reign him in. Then (as now), there were the appeasers who flew to Nazi Germany and sought peace treaties and business deals with the devil. Then there was also the intelligentsia / liberal elite who spouted popular kind words about how the Nazi's were leading Germany's economy to strength etc.
The British public fell for this hook line and sinker for a few years, (just as now).

It took real hard belligerent acts for the people to wake up from their pacifist liberal slumber an face the Nazi threat. More serious acts than the breathing space of the Sudentland invasion and then the fall of Austria. No not even then. Finally the invasion of Poland was the tipping point.

Then as now, there were a few (inc Churchill) who must have been screaming blue murder and experiencing the same frustration as us Jihad Watchers.

So what can be done?

LEARN from them (back then), make your voices heard, tell your friends and neighbors the facts and what is really going on. Write to your politicians and call them. Educate as many people as possible. Direct them to this site and others like it.

TAKE HEART !

We are ahead of our time and it it a shame that (just as in Churchill's day), it is going to take a massive destructive act against us for the threat to be faced full on.

But we can be assured that we are the ones who will have the power of knowledge to assist, and the benefit of foresight to handle the frustration we all feel right now.

Saudi Arabia is the Center of ISLAM ... The holy cities shall remain un-harmed till the end of time. and we wait for jesus to return ... and make islam spread all over again.

I think the real threat to the Saudi's is Iran. See latest iran Focus for today for the analysis.

This is the payment for Saudi silence on Lebanon. The ratchet-up will come when they offer to be part of the interim peace-keeping force and we have to pay again to make that idea go away.

THIS IS WHY BUSH HAS FAILED....THY DOES NOT KNOW THY ENEMY..

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."
- Sun Tzu

I think Bush is at the the part of "If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat."

Democrates are at the point of "If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."
