Once again the Bush Administration is up to its’ old tricks. Now Bush and his slimy administration is trying to push through billions in weapons sales to Saudi Arabia and 5 other Arab nations.

According to the Washington Post “The administration plans to sell advanced satellite-guided bombs, fighter aircraft upgrades and new naval vessels to six Gulf Cooperation Council countries, including Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman, U.S. officials say.”

None of these countries involved in this unbelievable transaction are friends of the US. They might want our money from oil sales but most have done nothing to assist us in stabilizing the region.

You would think after mistakes like, arming Saddam in his fight against Iran and Osama in Afghanistan plus the countless other things our government has done in the guise of “National Security”. Everyone of those actions has come back to bite us in the ass time and time again, yet here we go again.

According to the Washington Post “Members of Congress vowed yesterday to oppose any deal to Saudi Arabia on grounds that the kingdom has been unhelpful in Iraq and unreliable at fighting terrorism. King Abdullah has called the U.S. military presence in Iraq an “illegitimate occupation,” and the Saudis have been either unable or unwilling to stop suicide bombers who have ended up in Iraq, congressional sources say.”

Thankfully, Congress is not just rolling over for the President but don’t count ‘Lil Bush out. He has figured out ways to trample the Bill of Rights and the Constitution over and over again during his reign of terror and I wouldn’t put anything past that little scumbag.

The real question here is, which one of Bush or Cheney’s friends will benefit from these sales. Answer….Many of them including Bush and Cheney themselves. There is no other good reason for throwing fuel on a major fire.

Adding more volatility to an already volatile region is just plain asking for trouble. We are already hated in this region, why make it any worse? Do we WANT to get attacked?

Take the time to write your congressman and voice your disgust about this mess. We cannot let Bush arm more nations that hate us just so he and his cronies can make a buck or I should say billions of bucks.

Bush sold his soul long ago and now he is trying to sell ours as well.
