Reply #60: I'm sure Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are also

...Thus while appearing to be America's steadfast allies in the new bizarre world of the "war on terror" they sap our strength and at the same time bleed us of our resources by making claims as trade partner and poorman military ally respectfully. It's a perpetual motion machine for them, the defense lobby and the energy industry. They create and support the enemy while being allies on the war against the enemy, the so called "war on terror."

Whenever said war shows signs of flagging, inexplicably ill-timed and targeted acts of terrorism in Iraq which could only serve western and Israeli interests spring up to horrify the public. But the interests of AIPAC, Sharon, and other Israeli interest groups are not some limited conspiracy but a small part of a larger whole (where major industry sectors intersect and where huge pools of public funds remain to be exploited) and the front for the disguised objectives of the American corporate elites of huge capital now dependent on colonialism, a police state, and war for their continued social and economic gluttony.
