Barbara Lee Says Bush-Saudi Arms Deal Will Spark Regional Arms RaceJanuary 16, 2008, Washington, DC
January 15--Congresswoman Barbara Lee (Oakland) issued the following statement regarding the proposal [the] Bush administration has proposed to Congress to sell precision-guided bombs to Saudi Arabia, despite significant Congressional opposition:
“This arms package is a very dangerous move by this Republican administration. What they are proposing may potentially create a powder keg, ultimately sparking a regional arms race. It is reckless to think they can buy peace through arms. Selling precision-guided bombs to Saudi Arabia will only flare up an already volatile region and further weaken our national security.
“Ignoring Congressional opposition to this arms sale is yet another example of the ‘go-it-alone’ foreign policy style of the Bush administration which has repeatedly failed. “I am fully supporting the Weiner-Wexler Resolution of Disapproval to block the sale of arms to Saudi Arabia and I am very proud to be an original cosponsor of this important legislation.”

No kidding. How can everyone ignore this? Why do people ignore the fact that most of the 911 terroists were Saudies?? Everyone should read "House of Bush, House of Saud". Bedfellows for certain.
