Saudi King Abdullah calls US Defense Secretary Gates in for a spanking!

The Dear Miss Henny returns.  Even if brief, her comments are indeed welcomed (even when not completely agreed upon      )

Thanks, Sirs. BTW, I'm always reading in here, but through an RSS feed so you don't often see me logged in unless I want to see the whole conversation.  I don't respond much because I feel like I'm living in another universe from the politics discussed in here. (I guess I am kind of in a different universe!)

Tis ok Miss Henny.  Just know you're always missed around these parts.  So it's good to see you on those occasions you do feel compelled to enter our universe, from yours

Biden did not fail

Biden didn't FAIL....the United States did.
They have promised tough sanctions against Iran.
Deadline after deadline has passed.
The US says "don't attack we're about to get tough on Iran"
Then deadline after deadline passes allowing the HitlerStarterKits in Iran more time.
Israel after hearing more of this non-sense threw something back in Biden's face.
The US is massing troops on the Iranian border...hopefully they will be put to use soon.

Henny a clear majority of Saudis support tough sanctions against Iran and
almost a third of Saudis support a US military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities.

A flaw in your argument: the Saudi government does not care what their people think or want. If Saudi were actually a democracy, this might count for something.

Meh. Judging from the political conditions in the US and Europe over the last decade or so, what the people think or want doesn't count for much in democracies, either.

LOL. But at least they have to act like they care sometimes to get voted in again. Whereas Saudi monarchy are just tapped by allah for the position or some such nonsense.

Yes indeed, Christians wants another Crusade.

If anyone decides to take out the Iranian nuclear projects with foot soldiers, it would take vastly more than are in Iraq at the moment to even get started.

What a stupid war against Iran would get is $7.00 a gallon gasoline for a year or more, and lamentably not just the misguided Christians would have to pay this.

So a stupid war could be good for the environment?

If we payd that much for gas , we would burn only half so much, the Koyoto Accords , if accomplished, would have been less effective than that.
