I don't get too excited about this. We are the major arms supplier to the world. If they don't buy ours they would be buying Euro or Russian.

Owning our systems binds them to us.

My major concern is not even on the ruling class's horizon. That is the fact that the source of our Islamist problem comes from Saudi Arabia. The extremist Muslim views and the money to support them come from there.

Why do you think we don't hear from moderate American Muslims? They don't dare speak up. All of the mortgages on the Mosques here are held by Saudis. Their price for providing these mortgages was the installation of Saudi trained Imams. Which means they are not only Salafists, but the worst kind, Wahhabi Salafists. These fundamentalists are the source of almost all the Muslim terrorists in the world. For moderate members of these Mosques to speak out would result major problems for them in their Muslim communities.

I keep reading reports of some of them giving info to the FBI but they do so at risk for their lives.

A few examples of what the title could say...

"The hard left embraces America's military industrial complex by negotiating a record sale of military equipment to the King of Saudi Arabia".

Or this one...

"President extends his bow to Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz Bin Abdulrahman Bin Faisal Bin Turki Bin Abdullah Bin Muhammad Bin Saud by giving away America's finest military equipment"

Or this one...

Obama shuts down oil development in the U.S. but embraces money gained from sale of oil by Saudi Arabia by selling billions in sophisticated military hardware"
