[BFT3K]

If Obama does nothing else, I hope he manages to slap big oil around in a big fucking way!

Saudi Arabia is one of the most extreme religious countries in the world.
They are the base of an extreme kind of Islam and are exporting it to Pakistan.
Religious schools funded by Saudi Arabia in Pakistan outnumber public schools.

Just another reason why Obama seems to be the right choice! The Saudis love the Bushes and are worried about Obama...nice! By the way, great avatar BFT3K!

Why we even deal with people who still call themselves "King" or "Queen" is beyond me.

Talk about repression...

They are not worried about the oil prices they are worried he will fuck up diplomacy.

Even Muslims hate the people who run Saudi Arabia, it's quite funny.

You talk about arabs as if they were the source of all your problems..

I'm trying to rate your statement from 0 to 10. I'm going with 0 for this one.

Only a blind Republican robot would come to your conclusion.

The ONLY reason the Saudis are worried about real change is MONEY. If Obama can finally ween us off of oil - especially the automotive industry - then soon the Saudis will find out they don't hold the cards anymore.

Obama does not have ties to the Saudi family like the Bushes do, so hopefully he won't sell us out like his predesessors have - Dems included.

Fuck the Saudi family and fuck big oil!

Remember, the stone age didn't end because we ran out of stones.

The Saudis primary concern relates to the strength of Iran in the region and their quest for regional dominance and nuclear weapons. They are concerned that Obama will be too soft on the Iranians. I agree.

The rise of Shi'ite power Iran following the U.S. invasion of Iraq, toppling a Sunni Arab regime that acted as a bulwark against any Iranian expansionism, has formed the main concern of Saudi foreign policy since 2003.

"I think he (Obama) will have a tough time with Iran. I'm one of those who are convinced Iran is after a nuclear weapon," said Dakhil. "This will give a chance for the Saudis to back the new president and to earn his standing and cooperation."

Saudi rulers, who see themselves as the bastion of majority Sunni Islam, fear Washington could cut its own deal with Tehran that would make Shi'ism a key part of a new regional political order at peace with America.

Riyadh fears a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq could consolidate Shi'ite power there at the expense of Sunni Arabs who Saudi leaders want to have a bigger share of the political cake.

Educate yourself.

Saudi Arabia is exactly the same as the Taliban in Religeon and Govorning Philosophy.
They both use the same laws, and retain the same philosophies of law and the carrying out of Laws. They both use STRICT Sharia Law in accordance with the Koran.

In Saudi Arabia you can have your hands cut off for theft, you can and will be stoned to death, in Saudi Arabia Women have no rights. The only difference is that the Taliban have no oil money.

Saudi Arabian rule is Identical in every respect to the Taliban's laws.
14 of the Hi Jackers on 9/11 were Saudi's.
