#1 Where's the White House? What about the Pentagon? The Department of Defense?

Someone stop these Saudi-lovers, please!

#2 Not only expose them, but procecute them, find those that are, guilty of failing to register as an employee of a foreign government, and jail them for a long, long time, so the rest of our government works for US rather than a foreign power. Also strip them of all retirement and other fringe benefits, and fine them so heavily they're left bankrupt - stripped of all gain they've gotten. This is treason, not just "a little pocket money".

#3 Yeah, I don't buy the $200K per annum as 'a little pocket money'. Also typical of the Saudis to get other people to ~~drill their oil~~ do their dirty work for them.

#7 the impression I get is that George himself is friendly with them, nothing like supporting a corrupt regime, the US seems to very good at it. Love that pic of Rummie shaking Saddam's hand

#9 Igs--that is all conveniently forgotten by the right wing in the US--the Saudi ties go right to the Repooplican party
