#1 "The 'special relationship' between Soddy Arabia and the United States would increasingly be seen as toxic

Is it just me, or do others fail to see the downside?

#2 Whoa, the Prince is a BRITNEY fan - who knew???

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS [simil] > PRINCE TURKIC AL-FAISAL TO THE US: VETO A [Paleo] STATE, LOSE AN ALLY.

versus

* IIRC NEWSMAX > CHENEY: ISRAEL WILL ATTACK A "NUCLEAR" IRAN, to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

* TOPIX > CHENEY: [Post-911]SADDAM HUSSEIN PLANNED TO RESTART NUKE PROGRAM [NucWeaps], wid a captured Saddam also proclaiming to had been "bluffing" when he = Iraq said had WMDS.

Unfortunately for Uncle Saddam, the caches of non-Nuke WMDS discovered buried in Iraq show he was NOT "bluffing".

#4 Right after the Kurds, Tauregs, Bedouins, Karen, Karenni, Shan, Tibetans, Kachin, Uighurs, Ainu, Sikhs, Hmong, Basques, Catalonians, Corsicans, Mapuche, and Northern Irish all get UN seats is when I'll be willing to consider the Philistines too.

I'd like someone to explain why they think Philistines are more deserving than all the rest.

#5 They are much less deserving, of course.

#9 I see this as a feature rather than a bug.

#10 U.S. risks being toxic over Palestinian veto? FOAD. We just went through the 10 year anniversary of 911. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were from the KSA. So just FOAD.

#11 Being toxic to the Saudis is a mark of good character, not of shame.
