#2 I wouldn't have much faith in a Pak bomb actually working. Compared to one from Israel say.

#3 remember the cold war against the USSR?

We are in the same thing but against fascist Islamism

and like Russia was the motherland that spread communism into asia

so too does Saudi Arabia play the farterland and spread Islamonutzbaggery through the rest of the world

why haven't we insisted they scale back their religious fervour, tolerate churches and temples on the holy land?

#4 why haven't we insisted they scale back their religious fervour, tolerate churches and temples on the holy land?

Because they control OPEC, and OPEC controlls the majority of the world's oil. And because in 1973 Saudi-controlled OPEC demonstrated that they were both capable and willing to crash the world economy by squeezing the oil supply in order to punish those supporting Israel during the Yom Kippur War. Wikipedia link. Until Canada started producing oil from shale deposits a few years ago, followed by American fracking, the world in general and we in specific had no defence against the Saudi weapon.

#5 What he did not say is that he knows the self-described "Don't Do Stupid Stuff" Obama administration is desperate for a nuclear deal with Iran -- Obama's only foreign policy "victory" in sight.

A Keystone Pipeline deal with Canada would have provided a better deal for Obama's legacy.

In negotiations, one does not push as hard as Obama and JFnK are pushing--at least not in this way. They want a deal too badly. When your opponent knows you want something this badly, you are at a disadvantage already--particularly when a man's ego is on the line. You are ripe for the fleecing.
