Tricks, they're starting to show up. And they cite Michael Moore as a source!

   

Here's a better source, minus the insight:
The United States and Saudi Arabia share a common concern about regional security, oil exports and imports, and sustainable development. Close consultations between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia have developed on international, economic, and development issues such as the Middle East peace process and shared interests in the Gulf. The continued availability of reliable sources of oil, particularly from Saudi Arabia, remains important to the prosperity of the United States as well as to Europe and Japan. Saudi Arabia is often the leading source of imported oil for the United States, providing about 20% of total U.S. crude imports and 10% of U.S. consumption. The U.S. is Saudi Arabia's largest trading partner, and Saudi Arabia is the largest U.S. export market in the Middle East.


Human Rights
Despite close cooperation on security issues, the United States remains concerned about human rights conditions in Saudi Arabia. Principal human rights problems include abuse of prisoners and incommunicado detention; prohibitions or severe restrictions on the freedoms of speech, press, peaceful assembly and association, and religion; denial of the right of citizens to change their government; systematic discrimination against women and ethnic and religious minorities; and suppression of workers' rights.

Personally, I think they should have used stronger wording like, remains deeply concerned, that would have won me over.

You get called bigoted for some of your analyses, not your posts (well most of the time at least).

And besides, some of us are pretty sick these days (my reward for working a
0 F freezer).

But naturally, this is Bush's fault. It's also his fault that I'm sick and he is responsible for the cylon occupation of New Caprica.

   

To cite The heart of darkness, "The horror, the horror."

   

Awww, it's nice to be cared about! Thank you!

   

I doubt that Adama would tolerate Bush for ten seconds.

But he'd probably have a good time with Cheney.

Heck, maybe President of the Twelve Colonies would be a good job for Cheney after January 2009. He'd scare the beejabbers out of the Cylons!

   

I doubt it. The Saudi Islamofascists are not that humane.

They spread the lashes over a few days to allow the victim to recover somewhat.

   

Nice to see that you're more outraged at me than at the people who are going to kill this little girl. I like how you say she's just collateral damage in your quest as if I'm the person responsible for her death and not the ignoramuses who worship a meteorite.

Thanks for not disappointing me, lily.

   

Oh my God Bart you are such a bigot but I'm a bigger Bigot really.

Saudi Arabia is run by a man who denies himself and those loyal to him nothing, think up any vile act and the Prince of Darkness has a pleasure palace full of little girls and boys for his people. I will rejoice when an alternative to oil is found and we who hate what Extreme Islam does to women can bend over pull our pants down and moon all these fucking knuckle dragging men around the world. Power to the Sister Hood, all one of me.

   

I didn't realize Saudi Arabia had an ongoing campaign of terror.

   

Yeah well the "former living on a hope and a prayer leader" handing out money for suicide bombers would beg to differ.

   

So what ?
