3. I am glad you asked
Edited on Fri Sep-08-06 10:15 PM by AlamoDemoc
I am asking beyond reasoning....am asking simple question!

Will ABC, or any US network ever carry a movie about AIPAC and Congress...if Saudi Arabia ever wanted to invest in it?

5. I care more than anything else...because most of our foreign aid
goes to Israel....therefore I care if 911 is true or not...in fact, ten cents of my taxes goes to Isreal, compare that to one cent of entire money we give to the rest of the world as aid.

11. What connection does aid to Israel have to 9/11?
:shrug:

Most 9/11 hijackers were Saudis.

6. I've read books from all; including Richard Clark, Robert Bear,
Bernard Lewis, etc. All reflect negative on Saudi Arabia, yet they all explain that the benefit that America receives from Saudi oil is that economic benefit to our populas....a nation that asked protection, and in return provided energy in cents from 1973 till now.

14. Would you have sided with...
Lucky Lindy and Prescott Bush back in WW2?

"Hey those fellar's is all right, plus if we side with them we can make a buck and keep prices low!"

Fuck Saudi Arabia. They keep their oil prices low because we keep the Saud family in power. The people of Saudi Arabia hate us as much as their leaders, if not moreso because the popular opinion is that the US forces the House of Saud to treat their people like shit.

12. Pardon me but,
what the fuck are you smoking?

You wanna play Israel vs. Saudi Arabia and who is more deserving of our friendship?

Politics: Israel - Democracy
Saudi Arabia - Monarchy
Winner: Israel

Policies: Israel - Self defense and preservation
Saudi Arabia - Oppression of women and homosexuals
Winner: Israel

Friendship: Israel - Often a jackass, but pretty much on the level with us
Saudi Arabia - Feigns friendship, but hates our guts.
Winner: Israel

15. I didn't accuse...
It's an expression. However, the fact that you rolled up in the Lounge to start a fist fight over how sainted Saudi Arabia is compared to evil Israel indicates that you seemingly have nothing better to do than to try to start a flamewar. See, that's an accusation. J'accuse!!, if you prefer.

Since I am so ignorant, please enlighten me with your words of wisdom. I wonder if there will be 14 of them?

19. Indeed ...you have an occation...when you accuse me of protecting
arabs, you win the the debate. I spoke of opposite of Saudi Arabia Vs. Israel

I thought if many Americans here can view what the economical benefit were, they would be able to distinguish.

27. If money is your justification for anything then....
You must agree that child labor sweat shops in third world nations are good right? Since that means cheap clothes for you.

You must agree that outsourcing jobs is good because companies can pay employees 1/10th of what they make here and pass the savings on to you.

Where does it stop? If every moral evaluation you make is based on your pocketbook, I shudder to imagine what you might do if offered large sums of money....

21. Actually, that sounds like a FOX News program to me
Edited on Sat Sep-09-06 12:54 AM by AlienGirl
O'Reilley would host it, if he could remember that falafel is the thing for eating not the thing for washing.

It sounds like he'd love to host an expose of AIPAC and "dual loyalties."

37. Does "allow" have an object in this sentence?
Edited on Sat Sep-09-06 01:27 AM by AlienGirl
Usually, "allow" is the kind of verb with an object; it would be nice to know *what* they are allowing. Also, what is a "high graf"? :wtf:

Some examples of the use of "allow":

He allows the cat to sleep with him. (The cat is the object.)
The bank allowed the man to get a mortgage. (The man is the object.)

41. Right..
Because Saudi Arabia is?

A giant desert.

We built that country. Literally. That's why we have lucrative oil deals with them.

Too bad they are almost out of oil.
