Beware The Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing
I know this story sounds hopeful for peace in the Mid-East, but I just don’t buy it.
Until the Saudis and all Muslim countries recognize Israel’s right to exist there will be no peace in the Mid-East.
SHARM EL SHEIK, Egypt — Saudi Arabia expressed interest yesterday in attending a Middle East peace conference proposed by President Bush, a move that would put its delegates at the same table with their Israeli counterparts for the first time since the founding of the Jewish state.
“We are interested in a peace conference that deals with the substantive matters of peace,” Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said at a press conference with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, who are making a rare joint visit to the region to seek help stabilizing Iraq.
“If [the planned conference] does so, it becomes of great interest for Saudi Arabia and, should we then get an invitation from the secretary to attend that conference, we will look very closely and very hard at attending the conference,” he said.
I’ve read too much Bible prophecy to believe anything good will come of this on a lasting basis, so yes, I’m a skeptic.
My only question is what is Saudi Arabia’s hidden motive? Maybe now it is to be in the peace process, but they will never recognize Israel’s right to exist and unless they can do that there can be no peace.

U.S. Set to Offer Huge Arms Deal to Saudi Arabia
I posted this on the 27th. Didn’t you read it? Since then it has happened. The deal is done. Thanks to this administration, Israel has a little more to worry about.
Why does every administration speak out of both sides of its mouth?

I read the post. Another case of appeasment.

Appeasement my butt. If you love Israel the way this country claims to, you don’t sell arms to its enemy.

I agree, but we’ve done it for years and for oil. Doesn’t make it right, but we do it and if Congress hadn’t OK’d it we never would have completed the sale.

Please dear try to keep it in the present. What’s happening now is all that matters.

You can’t stick to just the present or all the things learned from the past will be forgotten. Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. Or something like that. I haven’t been to bed yet, so the brain is slowing down.

According to the article it hasn’t passed yet. I had read there was a lot of opposition in Congress to this bill.
Besides, Israel has a Secret Weapon.

That’s exactly right the administration has made the deal and the Congress has to approve. Selling weapons to Israels enemy is not something you do to people you truly care for.
Now we’ll see who their true friends are.

The deal isn’t a deal until/unless Congress approves and it’s been going on for decades. Don’t try to make this look like it’s new with the Bush administration because it isn’t.

Maybe it’s Clintons fault.
