Arabia
Saudis willing to help if...
2003-11-30
EFL - as they say, the Arab News is its own satire
Imperial Majesty
Amr Mohammed Al-Faisal

I watched... the little skit set up for President Bush this Thanksgiving in Baghdad... He had slunk in under heavy secrecy lest some enterprising Iraqi insurgents lob some donkey-borne rockets freedom’s way and thereby spoil the photo-op. Then, after two and half “whole” hours, the president slunk back out of Iraq.
... assertions of various kinds...about how the US is losing and desparately needs to withdraw its troops..., etc.
The conditions that must be met before we lift a finger to help the Americans get out of Iraq honorably are the following:
...
Administration officials starting with President Bush himself must spare no occasion to praise Saudi Arabia and inform the American people how lucky they are to have us as allies.

#10  All I can say is that the Saudis better get their Pakistani flyboy contractors up to speed quickly, along with their Nuke umbrella deployed (against bloody what???!!!) and their Syrian hard boy special forces surrounding the cholestoral royal palaces.

Talk is cheap for the Saudi big boys. The reality is that the US is rapidly phasing out of SA, the world is adjusting to the coming reality of being without SA oil for a while.

The times are changing, and the changes will be accellerating in the coming months. The boll weevils Al Qaeda have started destroying their food source, and I predict that the landscape is going to be very turbulant in the next year. Faisal's little rant will become a Saudi dirge.

#9  ....keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer.

and by the way faisal - thats two hours longer than your fat privledged ass has spent in Iraq. I wonder if hes noticed that theres nothing between his pimply prince butt sitting in his apartment in Riyhad and our troops in Kuwait except sand and camel turds. I wonder if hes noticed the rapid speed that our troops were able to master desert warfare. Does he really think the Arabs will stand and fight for the house of Saud?

#8  We need to start selling the Saudis rope - in large rolls! That'll make it easier to hang all the members of the "Royal" family and the suck-ups that aid and abet them when it's time to clean that portion of the Sandlot Kingdom.

The extraction costs would be a LOT smaller than the cost of WOT

#6  But what would that do to our extraction costs?

#5  As Alaska Paul has noted several times, you can drill through a country-wide sheet of fused sand and bits of arrogant Saudis glass for oil

#4  I still, somehow, no matter how hard I try, can't find them less than arrogant. It's never good to be arrogant without artillery.

#3  I do believe they're beginning to believe we're less than friendly.

#2  Google on the author's name to get a good picture of what this vile slimebag is all about.

When American tanks roll into Riyadh sometime in 2005 or 2006, this guy's severed head is going to end up on a pike.

"Now, dear readers, you mustn’t laugh at the Americans; remember they are our friends and allies."

Oh, no we're not, bunky; we're your worst nightmare. We're busting our stones to turn Iraq into a modern, prosperous, secular state out of a belief that the Iraqi people have potential.

You, on the other hand, do not. With you, it will be a simple war of extermination.

#1  heh heh - this was from The Onion, right? Saudis don't seem to realize they went on the endangered species list...
