#1 Ties are seriously fraying between the Saudi royals and the Bush administration, largely because the Saudis appear to have abandoned any pretext of confronting terrorism and instead have returned full bore to the long-held tradition of co-opting or buying opponents

What the hell they fund 80-90% of the shit hole anti-American mosques in the USA. Close them all down.

Spit.

#7 It's the "Strong Horse - Weak Horse" theme in play. KSA figures that the US and the Brits are going to bug-out, leaving the anti-Persian Gulf states to the tender mercies of the Persians. Their best chance for survival is embracing the most savage, anti-Shia bad guys in town, so...
