The Saudis are the major funders of the global jihad against us non-muslims and we are supposed to worry about what they think of us? I am not going to be losing any sleep over their claims.
RIYADH (AFP) – The close relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia is under threat after Washington supported Israel's onslaught on the Gaza Strip, a senior Saudi prince warned on Saturday.
Prince Turki al-Faisal, a former top diplomat and intelligence chief, told CNN television that the US needs to change its tune and exert more pressure on Israel or face a deterioration in its relations with the Middle East.
He called Israel's three-week assault on Gaza, which Palestinians say killed more than 1,300 people in the densely populated enclave, "barbaric" and a "catastrophe."
The barbarians are the arab muslims in Gaza.
Prince Turki said the new US administration of President Barack Obama must also press Israel to accept an Arab peace plan or lose the Arab world's confidence.
"I think this is one of the issues that makes the relationship between the Arab world in general and Saudi Arabia in particular threatened when it comes to dealing with the United States," he said.
"The relationship that has kept America and the Arab world going for the last 17 years is in danger."
He said former president George W. Bush "callously and unforgivably gave Israel a green light to do everything that they wanted to do in Gaza without restraint."
He said he had hopes for Obama, but needed to see real steps on the ground, including Washington and Israel agreeing to negotiate with Hamas, the Islamist group which controls Gaza but which the US labels a terrorist organisation.
"We need to see facts on the ground change. We need to see rhetoric change. We need to see presence on the ground.
"President Obama can do something and gain the confidence and support of the Arab and Muslim nations by showing that he has done things on the ground and not simply expressed a wish for that."
I think we need to be drilling for our own oil here in the US. We have more than we need for fuel for many decades, but Obama will not drill. Why? Does anyone realize how many things are manufactured from oil? No they do not. Once we cut out the financial support of these jihad exporters in Saudi Arabia we will have a better chance of winning this global war on islamic supremism.
