Are Obama’s Record Arms Sales to Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Egypt and Iraq Fueling Unrest in Middle East?
http://m.democracynow.org/stories/15126 (Video in link) As Saudi Arabia continues U.S.-backed strikes in Yemen and Washington lifts its freeze on military to aid to Egypt, new figures show President Obama has overseen a major increase in weapons sales since taking office. The majority of weapons exports under Obama have gone to the Middle East and Persian Gulf. Saudi Arabia tops the list at $46 billion in new agreements. We are joined by William Hartung, who says that even after adjusting for inflation, "the volume of major deals concluded by the Obama administration in its first five years exceeds the amount approved by the Bush administration in its full eight years in office by nearly $30 billion. That also means that the Obama administration has approved more arms sales than any U.S. administration since World War II." Hartung is the director of the Arms and Security Project at the Center for International Policy, and author of "Prophets of War: Lockheed Martin and the Making of the Military-Industrial Complex."

Remember when all us pesky Palestinian supporters (peaceniks in general), commented on how all these sales to middle eastern regimes would wreak havoc in the region? Remember who everyone keeps calling the main fucking country supporting the IS? Saudi Arabia. Conincidence that the biggest arms sale in history closed around the time the IS rose to power? And that SA will be a major power by the time Syria falls and Iran comes back into the crosshairs (peace deal may be is a stall tactic, yes....for the US and Israel).
I guess this is where we pick sides and condemn or support Obama, right? Fuck that. This is all part of the plan that has been established for years, spanning D and R administrations, and will continue with whomever is the next puppet leader. But no matter how many of these predictions come true, some will refuse to acknowledge that there is a plan - it's all just BAD planning, accidents, unforeseen circumstance, untrustworthy allies, evil evil tyrants etc. zero accountability for the arms dealers and corps pulling the strings.
So what is it you are arguing for?
Nah ah. You don't get to make this about me. How about addressing some of what I said before you ask for my plan for world peace?
Addressing Obama's military expenditures?
..I knew this would be broken down into a partisan comment, and even addressed that pre-emptively. This is not about Obama, nor about Dubya or any one politician. It's about foreign policy, and our role in fueling unrest in the Middle East for our own gain....which you apparently don't believe happens, because we are just reacting to Iran's unrest and supposed,possible, might happen, aggression.
I believe it happens...I guess I just don't see your point. Everyone is acting in their own self-interest. The US acts for their own gain, Russia acts for their own gain, China acts for their own gain, Iran acts for their own gain, etc. This is beyond obvious.
So you agree it's not about Freedom or security but $$$$? As our politicians are controlled by campaign contributions and corps and special interests ( thanks Supreme Court) are said contributors?

I can't tell if you are serious or sarcastic. A war is started under false pretenses, a billion dollar no-bid contract is immediately initiated for the company which the man who started the war was recently CEO and is still a major stockholder, the company goes on to make 40 billion dollars for shoddy work, and you see no relation? You think we invaded Iraq for WMD's that we knew didn't exist? I think you are smarter than that.

Ugh...rehashing the Iraq war on the day Iraq war hawk Hillary Clinton announces her candidacy...why?
No. The coalition didn't invade Iraq for WMD's per se...that was just the main reason (of many) to get UN approval which never came. Also the coalition didn't know that they didn't exist and the troops returning home with chemical weapons poisoning might even argue that they did exist.
Either way...rehashing the reasons for the invasion of Iraq considering the US attacked Libya and overthrew Gaddafi for much less make little sense.
Did the US employ corporations to help in the aftermath of the Iraq invasion that made a profit? Yes. But was that the reason they went in? No.
Is anyone else skeptical that this is a human being?
It's a car.
It looks like a rag doll to me the way it somersaults. It may seem like a weird question, but I can't help but question what purpose this incomprehensibly weird demonstration served.

Are Obama’s Record Arms Sales to Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Egypt and Iraq Fueling Unrest in Middle East?
http://m.democracynow.org/stories/15126 (Video in link) As Saudi Arabia continues U.S.-backed strikes in Yemen and Washington lifts its freeze on military to aid to Egypt, new figures show President Obama has overseen a major increase in weapons sales since taking office. The majority of weapons exports under Obama have gone to the Middle East and Persian Gulf. Saudi Arabia tops the list at $46 billion in new agreements. We are joined by William Hartung, who says that even after adjusting for inflation, "the volume of major deals concluded by the Obama administration in its first five years exceeds the amount approved by the Bush administration in its full eight years in office by nearly $30 billion. That also means that the Obama administration has approved more arms sales than any U.S. administration since World War II." Hartung is the director of the Arms and Security Project at the Center for International Policy, and author of "Prophets of War: Lockheed Martin and the Making of the Military-Industrial Complex."

Remember when all us pesky Palestinian supporters (peaceniks in general), commented on how all these sales to middle eastern regimes would wreak havoc in the region? Remember who everyone keeps calling the main fucking country supporting the IS? Saudi Arabia. Conincidence that the biggest arms sale in history closed around the time the IS rose to power? And that SA will be a major power by the time Syria falls and Iran comes back into the crosshairs (peace deal may be is a stall tactic, yes....for the US and Israel).
I guess this is where we pick sides and condemn or support Obama, right? Fuck that. This is all part of the plan that has been established for years, spanning D and R administrations, and will continue with whomever is the next puppet leader. But no matter how many of these predictions come true, some will refuse to acknowledge that there is a plan - it's all just BAD planning, accidents, unforeseen circumstance, untrustworthy allies, evil evil tyrants etc. zero accountability for the arms dealers and corps pulling the strings.
So what is it you are arguing for?
Nah ah. You don't get to make this about me. How about addressing some of what I said before you ask for my plan for world peace?
Addressing Obama's military expenditures?
..I knew this would be broken down into a partisan comment, and even addressed that pre-emptively. This is not about Obama, nor about Dubya or any one politician. It's about foreign policy, and our role in fueling unrest in the Middle East for our own gain....which you apparently don't believe happens, because we are just reacting to Iran's unrest and supposed,possible, might happen, aggression.
I believe it happens...I guess I just don't see your point. Everyone is acting in their own self-interest. The US acts for their own gain, Russia acts for their own gain, China acts for their own gain, Iran acts for their own gain, etc. This is beyond obvious.
So you agree it's not about Freedom or security but $$$$? As our politicians are controlled by campaign contributions and corps and special interests ( thanks Supreme Court) are said contributors?
No. I don't agree.

No. The coalition didn't invade Iraq for WMD's per se...that was just the main reason (of many) to get UN approval which never came. Also the coalition didn't know that they didn't exist and the troops returning home with chemical weapons poisoning might even argue that they did exist.
Either way...rehashing the reasons for the invasion of Iraq considering the US attacked Libya and overthrew Gaddafi for much less make little sense.
Did the US employ corporations to help in the aftermath of the Iraq invasion that made a profit? Yes. But was that the reason they went in? No.
I think you are smarter than that.

You're so pathetic. You actually think that if that's true, that "is" is that close to the American border, that our country wouldn't do shit, even if they're on the Mexican side? You've got to be kidding me. You have some fucken weird, SICK, obsession with ANYTHING Muslim. You're in no other threads besides ANYTHING anti-Islam. Fucken straight JOKE. People tear your posts apart, left and right. And you still come with this bullshit. Pathetic. And embarrassing.
