Right, but it's really bout how much oil supply we are receiving and than there is the case of our military to protect this two faced sand hill monarchy like we did from Expansionist Dictator Sadam Hussain - Remember?

They rely heavily on us and other advanced countries to support/maintain/train everything in Saudi from power generation, oil extraction, aircraft maintenance, medical infrastructure on and on. I've seen it first hand.

That's what I started to say, jarasan. The article didn't account for all the maintenance on the equipment we've already sold them, not to mention all the replacement and spare parts they have to have. You can't have an effective air force with hanger queens, field tank battalions w/out spare tracks or artillery w/out ammo.

You guys are naive. Yes they do. They buy this country. They own a high percentage of America, ‘land of the free’. Germany as well, and I believe Russia is creeping up into it as well, which is why they’re probably in the news so much recently. Sellouts.
