I knew Prince Faisal slightly at Georgetown. He was a little creep then and he still is.

A BBC poll done a few years ago had 8 out of 10 in the Arab world carrying a negative view of the US. I have no reason to think that anything has happened that would change that number very much. And if 80% of them hate us...what percentage hate's Israel? 90%...95%. I'd say 95% is low.

So big surprise that there was support for the 911 terrorists in the Royal House of Saud.

I have no sympathy for the House of Saud, but I'd say that this guy's credibility is lower than whale shit. FWIW, Bin Laden hated the House of Saud as much as he hated us.

I predict we will still buy their oil.

Particularly now that getting the crappy tar sands oil out of the ground costs more than the market price.

Well, we were in bed with these guys. We thought we could train them to fight the commies
and they would not bother us.

When I got my Masters of Engineering Administration (an engineering-flavored MBA) at GWU, there were a bunch of rich, young Saudi's in the program. Not a one of them did shit, but nearly all of them begged me to write papers for them for money. The fuckers would park their Ferrari's in the extra-wide crosswalk in front of the student union to go inside and hobnob with their fellow Saudi's over coffee, (very expensive) parking tickets be damned.

Well, at least it's not like your attitude toward Israelis, who are just arrogant schmucks. Maybe it's that these young rich Saudis are .015%-er's. You just don't like young mega-rich people? Aren't most other young mega-rich people who haven't earned a penny themselves, just like these young Saudi mega-rich people? 'Cause if it's not that...I'm very confused about your criteria.
