It was put to me that if we REALLY wanted to combat terrorism, we should've invaded Saudi Arabia instead of Iraq.
Of course, at this point we'd been joined by a couple of other people, "armchair quarterbacks" at their finest. They whined and screeched that the Saudis were our ALLIES, and our only friend in the region. Afer the Colonel and I quit laughing, we informed them that the only nation that comes close to being our friend in the region is Israel, and they're busy looking out for themselves right now, and righfully so. Both of us having been to Saudi and having stayed there for some time, we told the other guests that the Saudis are NOT our "allies," and never have been. A mutual enemy does not an ally make. They will shake your hand with their right hand while using their left to put a knife in your back.
Do you agree with this gentleman who said we should've invaded SA if we were really serious about fighing terror?

Excon,
I didn't say the Saudi's aren't scumbags. They are. But for now, they are OUR scumbags.
