US 'plans huge Saudi arms deal'

BBC NEWS | Americas | US 'plans huge Saudi arms deal'

also Israel is very upset about it. I wonder why? I mean, who in the name of all that's holy, will ever operate all these very expensive equipment? Not the Saudi's themselves. If Iran ever attacks, you will find the planes and buses all filled with panic stricken saudi's, heading east or north east at a rapid clip. Remember what happened when Iraq attacked? You think I am joking? I am not, the ordinary saudi was extremely bitter about the going ons of the royals and the army. At one shot, almost the entire governing layer of Saudi Arabia had buzzed off. So if Iran attacks, it will be the Americans and Brits who will have to back again to save its butt. Again, the stupidity comes through. The Saudis are basically paying billions for equipment which they dont know, dont want, dont need, cant operate so that they have an insurance policy from the Brits/Americans for an event that the west is engineering. The ironies and stupidities are so many that it has a certain unique beauty of its own.

Also check out something that I had written before on what the Saudi usage of British equipment and comments made by British technicians operating the Al Yamamah contract.
