Even if it was proven, where do you see that the oil for food program was a pure European invention? And even if there was a "scandal", how does it compare with the fact that Bush and the US media lied you into a war based on absolutley false and manufactured intelligence about WMDs in Iraq. Let's divert from that massive reality that in any healthy country would bring down a government - and flout this lame "scandal" against your old allies who just happened to be right about every single thing they said about Iraq and their non existent WMD and nuke programs while the US government and media were completely wrong. This will work on ignorant BUSHBOTS but no one else in the world who sees this "scandal" for the steaming pile of crap that it is.

so much ignorance in this thread

everyone should stick to talking about things that they actually know about

Does tinkerbell sprinkle you with fairy dust in that dreamland you live in?

Is this all you can come up with? Now, that's really weak... :1orglaugh

And you still didn't manage to find a reply for this one:

I gave you the answer. Work on your reading comprehension.

Because they reject Allah, of course. Why do you think that Muslims hate people?

If your help- and clueless bubbling is what you consider an answer I better go and waste my time elsewhere.

Arabs want to be left alone.

Jordan is in Asia :upsidedow

the stupidity coming from AlienQ is amazing....dammm and to think I actually agreeded with some of the stuff this guy said before on other threads..

Ya might not agree with it, I dont agree with it eaither but its true.
The fundamental rule set of Islam does not tolorate Co-exhistance and that is why you won't see Middle Eastern Nations helping in the latest disaster.

Unless your convinced Jordan is not a Middle Eastern Region well then just pull up a chair at the library and see for yourself!

By the way I can tell frm your post your bristling with intelligence.

Sig placement

:1orglaugh

if something is called "scandal" in US it doesn't matter that it's considered to be scandal by another countries.
I guess your mom shouldn't let you watch tv so much. just imho.

Saudi arabia has forked over something like 50 mill

Just so you know :moon

I heard the Dutchies donated 24 milion EUROS and only 16 milion live here...

AlienQ, you're a fucking retard. First you say that none of the arab countries are contributing, and then when someone points out that some are, you try to make out that they're not really arab nations or some such nonsense? What the fuck?

Last i saw, Saudi donated 10 million. Their population is about 25 million. Compare the donation and population size, and it's the equivalent to the US donating about 118 million dollars. That's significant. Yeah, the US is donating more, but it's not a fucking compeition. Japan has a smaller population than the United States and it's donating 500 million compared to the United States' 350 million. Does that somehow mean that America isn't pulling it's weight? You're one stupid fuck. Compare Japan's population and contribution to that of the US and it'd be the equivalent of the US donating over a billion. Like i said, it's not a competition. Every country that contributes should be congratulated. You're just an ignorant fucktard shamelessly using a disaster to further your own narrow minded point of view.

OMG, even after ALL the links and facts provided to your idiotic thread, you are STILL talking out of your ass.

Really amazing, thanks for joining my ignore list.

Red herring. We're not talking about how we got into Iraq, we're talking about whether the UN can be trusted with aid money in light of the Food for Oil scandal.

BTW, this has been proven and has been all over every media source. If you don't know about it, then you don't know shit about shit and you should bow out just because you obviously don't even read headlines, let alone anything else.

Which of those countries I named are you from? Please enlighten us, brainiac.

Read the whole thread pal, maybe after you catch up with the discussion you can put your ass back in your mouth where it belongs.

Saudi and Kuwaiti donations yes...
But there donations are consistant oh but they are supposed American Allies.
What about the rest of the Middle East region?

You dont have an opinion.
Read the thread ass fuck.

45 bucks per barrel at 11M barrels per day. = 10M? 50M? in AID?
Please.

Correction: 2 million barrels per day at 45 bucks per barrel.

And you think 10M is justifiable? Idiots.

OPEC:

Algeria, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Venezuela.

Discard Indonesia and Venezuela and Iraq and you have OIL rich countries in the poor house? Again Please.

Sorry you folks dont like it, but this thread just points out Middle Eastern Countries greed. Tough to swallow I know...

I was bit surprised myself, infact it never occured to me until I looked around.
You take how much money these countries make and how little of it is distributed to there own people its an atrocity.

44 bucks per barrel 2Million barrels a day = $88000000.oo per day

8.8 Million dollars PERDAY Times 30 days = $2640000000 A Month.

264 MILLION dollars a month folks just from OPEC Nations alone and they cough up 10m? 50M? Whatever.
Crude oil the shit aint even refined.

Fox News again? Just because your neo-conservative media make something a scandal it doesn't mean there IS one.

And, Saudi Arabia is your only example? Remember that Saudi Arabia has to keep up appearances because Mecca and Medina are there. Try a thought sometime.

Take my Saudi Arabia example and apply it to ANY middle east country, except Israel.

264 Million dollars a month from OPEC Middle Eastern countries and 10M-50M is not goin on the cheap according to the 1 post mongrels thus far.


Goto love the "Welcome to my ignore" retard posters in this thread.
Why I bet they think are getting a deal at the gas stations to! :1orglaugh

The middle East Needs more Sandra's.

Sandra Bullock donates $1 mil for tsunami

150 Arab Nations

You could be talking about Amerikkka here homie!

Are you really this stupid? When a population of 25 million donates 10 million, it's the equivalent of a population with 295 million donating 118 million or so. Granted, that's less than the US is donating, but like i already said, it's not a fucking competition. Their contribution is still significant. By your logic, the US donation is just as insignificant when compared to Japan's donation as the Saudi donation is to the US donation. By the way, comparing per capita donations, Japan's donation is the equivalent of the US donating over 1.1 billion dollars. That's a larger percentage difference than between saudi and the US. Does that somehow mean the US donation isn't up to scratch? Or that the US donation is even more pathetic when compared to Japan's donation than the Saudi donation is to the american donation? A country with just a fraction of the US population is obviously more likely to donate just a fraction of what the US is able to. Australia for example, with a population of 20 million, is donating 60 million. Does this mean they're not pulling their weight?

You're a fucking idiot. I've thought so for a long time, but you have more than confirmed it with this thread.

CET: I stayed in the United Arab Emirates for about 8 or 9 months when my old man had a contract in Abu Dhabi. But we also went on the odd trip to Dubai. In both places, my mother wore regular "western" clothing. The only thing she had to do was wear long pants or a long dress and a long sleeve top. No veils. No need to wear black. But they do request that you dress moderately. It's a matter of respecting another culture's religion and customs.

I know people that have lived in Saudi, and all i can say is that you are wrong. It's very much like the UAE in terms of how they expect foreigners to act. They don't expect you to wear the traditional clothing for muslim women, but they do expect you to dress moderately. Same as in Bahrain. These are just the countries which i have either been to or personally know people that have been there.

Population size is irrelevant. Saudi Arabia has a very high GDP, not as high as the US's, but it's still pretty damn high. It's in the top 10 of the world, if I'm not mistaken. With that in mind, even if their GDP is only 1/10th of America's, they are still underfunding the disaster relief. Of course, they don't have to, but if we're going to sit here and wave dicks about who gives the most money, and point out those who give the least, Saudi Arabia is on the list of those giving the least.

SInce everybody thinks we are going to take over the world. Fuck it lets do it.

They're not giving the least per capita. And who cares if they are giving the least? They're still contributing and they're contributing a significant amount. And by that logic, the US would be underfunding relief in comparison to Japan. Do you agree with that?

That's true. Like I said, it's a bunch of dick waving.

Wow, Sandra! That's a VERY un-American attitude (apart from the attention whoring and allowing it be picked up by the news...). Perhaps Sandra is Japanese? :thumbsup

And the history of Middle Eastern Nations Continues to show what cheap fucks they are in times of disaster.

But they can afford to fund terrorism.

Initially the US only pledged $15 million or something... heh.
