Arms deal to secure Saudi Arabia.

[Gromit]

The sale of $10 billion of arms to those friendly muslim folks in the middle east looks now set to be approved after Israeli objections had held up the deal.

The oil producing Saudis (Royals) can now defend themselves from the suicide bomber producing Saudis (Bin Laden) thus securing the oil and making the US a few Bucks as well.

The middle east needs more stability, do you agree?

Anti US again Grommit. You really do have an axe to grind. Perhaps you'd like to pop over to a country that also hates them you might get on well.

Have to be carefull though they dont usually let you speak your mind!

sounds more like the u.s. backing the (sunni's) saudi's as usual with their thriving arms industry. saddam (sunni) comes to mind, made a mint of him no doubt. leaving russia to supply iran (shia) not to mention the covert supply by both sides to both sides, setting the stage for the u.s. plan all along, a full scale middle eastern civil war. they will make billions in arms sales, rebuilding contracts and skimming's from weak puppet governments, with the eventual remapping of the region and the controlling interest in the spoils, the oil. youngmafbog, i would hardly call someone pointing out some facts anti-u.s., is the mass killing and maiming of innocent women and children for profit okay with you? that's fine then.

That gives Grommit a very wide choice youngmafbog.

Which country actually likes them? Iv'e been trying but I can't think of one.

I've got my eye on American Samoa, very nice this time of year and their website claims it is free of suicide bombers.

what a load of B0ll0cks infinitlydum, the arms trade just provides tools. The wealders of those tools are responsible for their actions. Guns don't kill people they are the tools that people use to kill people. Ok weapons make it easier but still they are tools. The real dangers in the world are religions always have been always will be. You might as well say that B+Q are responsible for all the DIY accidents over the last bank holiday weekend.

You constantly here the twee lefty mantra: "But the US/UK supplied the weapons to......" . They cannot see how stupid that sounds!

[maxximus]

so it is alright to condemn a group as ' terrorists' and covertly supply them arms so they can massacre the citizenry, then openly supply another group to massacre the ' terrorists' while the mainsteam media omits the fact you supplied the ' terrorists' in the first place. i believe it is you that needs to get with the program loosehead! as usual.

[Loosehead]

It's not ideal maximus of course but it's barking up the wrong tree, I mean I've no doubt the IRA bought some of it's bomb ingredients in the high street, where the shops held reponsible? I don't think UK/US knowingly supply known terrorists of the day but the weapons will get into their hands via arms dealers etc.
