Why is the U.S. allied with Saudi Arabia?

[pecksniff]

It is a more extreme Islamist state than Iran, many terrorist organizations have roots there, and SA is guilty of war crimes in Yemen. And SA is so antisemitic that Jews are not allowed to enter the country.

In the first Gulf War, the first stage was "Operation Desert Shield" -- "Shield" meaning U.S. troops were placed in SA to forestall invasion by Hussein. The mere presence of armed infidels in the homeland of Mohammed appears to have been what provoked the formation of Al-Qaeda.

But Iran has it too, and we're not friendly with them.

I wasn't talking about Iran.

Point is, we have more than enough reason to not be friends with them

But oil is why we are ignoring those reasons.

Iran is at war with the United States. They are the enemy.

We were never at war, not even during the hostage crisis. And their hostility to us is rooted mainly in Operation Ajax, which was our bad, and Britain's.

THEY ARE AT WAR WITH THE UNITED STATES. THEY ARE THE ENEMY. WE WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM EXCEPT THE DECAPITATION OF THEIR LEADERSHIP AND THE DESTRUCTION OF THEIR MILITARY CAPABILITY.

UNDERSTAND NOW?

Is Iran at war with the U.S. or is the U.S. at war with Iran?

While I do not believe any nation should be governed by religion... not Iran, not Israel, not the U.S... and i do not deny Iran is an enemy of the U.S... why should Iran not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons?

Since its to be expected the U.S. has developed plans to fight a war with Iran... including a variety of attacks... why should we not expect Iran to do the same against the U.S. ? Yet trump ordered an illegal drone strike to kill their general for making plans precisely the same way the U.S. does. Perhaps you might want to review the U.S. created Nuremburg laws on Aggressive War.

We were allies and did get oil from Iran prior to their revolution which overthrew the Shah of Iran. The government and some of the citizens hate the US as the great Satan.

The Saudis? Yes, they are.

For some reason W lumped Iran together with Iraq and NK as an "Axis of Evil." The three were not an axis, not in alliance, the only thing they had in common was being on bad terms with the U.S. If it were about "evil," he should have included SA.

lol, you're not at war, klownguide. Have you been smoking mypillow pillows again?

 

[Rightguide]

Is Iran at war with the U.S. or is the U.S. at war with Iran?

What's the matter can't you read what I just said, twice?

Repeating it in all-caps does not make it any more credible.

Read what I said:

"THEY ARE AT WAR WITH THE UNITED STATES"

We are not at war with them officially. I never said we were. We are however in open hostility to them.

But why do we have any reason to be? What reason, that is, that does not apply to SA?

follow the money. how many people of power have financial dealings with them? how many fortunes have been made working with them? then watch 'farenheit 9/11'.

I saw on the stands, but never read, House of Bush, House of Saud.

Because they are attacking us and our allies on several fronts and because it is a state sponsor of terrorism.

Remind us: Who was responsible for 9/11. Was it Wahabi Sunnis, the official form of Islam supported by the Saudis or was it the Iranians?

In short : Who murdered 3000 New Yorkers?

What was the fucking subject of the question he asked me? Iran.

But to answer your silly question:

"The hijackers in the September 11 attacks were 19 men affiliated with the militant Islamist group al-Qaeda. They hailed from four countries; fifteen of them were citizens of Saudi Arabia, two were from the United Arab Emirates, one was from Lebanon, and one from Egypt"



And I might add, there is zero evidence any of them did what they did at the behest of their heads of state.

And SA is doing worse in Yemen. Doesn't that count for something?

You asked me about Iran. SA isn't doing anything to the US in Yemen that I know of. It is fighting Iranian surrogates in Yemen.

The Saudi blockade is causing famine. It's a crime against humanity.
