| Soddies throwing cash around Washington |
| 2003-10-29 |
| ELF Saudi Arabia has spent $17.6 million on public relations, advertising and lobbying since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, hoping to convince Americans it is committed to fighting terrorism although 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi citizens, Justice Department records show. Television ads on CNN, ESPN, MSNBC and Fox News since May 2002 have depicted the Saudis as a modern nation choke, cough aligned with American interests. Edith, my pills, quick In a two-week period last October, 1,541 Saudi-sponsored ads ran on American television. The Saudi strategy to win the hearts and minds of American citizens and lawmakers is clear: spend large amounts on media advertising, book time with television’s news shows, lobby congressional leaders and monitor policies coming out of Washington. otherwise known as: bribe anyone and everyone you can. That’s the Soddy Way |

| #7 I can inform the Soddies, you're looking worse and worse to the American people. I just worry about our 'Representatives', they can be bought, Democrats rented. |

| #6 Lucky has a point the $17M probably only covers the stuff they are forced to declare as lobbying the funds for paying for their own spokesmules, the funds for subsidizing CAIR, the funds for organizing 'information' conferences, etc. aren't in this total also not in the total are funds from individual Saudis |

| #3 Geo43 has a problem: Geo41 Saudi baggage. Sometimes ya just gotta let it go Dubya - throwing in a bad hand is always tough when you've got a stake out there on the table. Ya gotta know when to fold - and not throw good money after bad. Saudi cash - soma. |

| #2 Fucking Fraudis! Either Bush is planning on putting a knife in the backs of his towel-headed buddies from the sandbox, or he is going to remain allied with the very people that help finance murder all over the globe. Which is it? I would really like to see the Soddy issue become a MAIN topic of next year's re-election. Force Bush to either side with his Fraudi murderbots, or take a stand against them. I'm betting though that he deflects attention from this issue by focusing attention on Syria. |
