#1 How about sell a few nukes to the South Koreans while they're at it?

#2 The Saudis do buy a lot of military hardware. But they park it out in the sand or store it in warehouses and there simply aren't any Saudi troops to USE any of it.

It just sits there waiting for an expiration date.

There really IS no Saudi military trained and prepared to USE any of it. And you have to seriously consider the fact that the Saudi are the worst soldiers in the world. We should sell them eye makeup actually. When you see two Abdrool and Muckmud sergeants holding hands while sucking down some falafel you know that army is in trouble.

Moslems produce Baghdad Bobs. Its just so Islamic. Islam..yeah, burning down a girl's school is all their soldiers are good for.

Allahu AKBAR you swishy.little thing.

#3 ...saying that I am purchasing something may, in some neighborhoods, be better than admitting that I am holding it for someone...
