We've hyped them up for decades...even 9/11 didn't slow down that relationship.

is not necessarily my friend

The Enemy of my Enemy may hate us also, but considers us a useful tool to be dealt with later when the higher-priority enemies are removed.

Most of the Saudi big shots are BFEE BFF. when they flew airliners into the wtc, the Bush family "dealt with them" by helping them flee the country.

Earth to Murraydelph - come in please.

The Enemy of my Enemy hates us, too; they're just willing to play along with us to get to higher priority targets.

Once those are gone, they will finish attacking us.

I think the high rollers have kept the hot war in the ME going due to the obscene profits. If shooting actually comes to the US, anti-war sentiment make come to critical mass, which could hurt profits. They'll find a way to keep it off of this continent.
