Saudis are so pissed upset at Obama for throwing Mubarak under the bus that they’re now pursuing business with the Chi-Coms and the Russians:
“And a lot of those questions presumably will come from King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia,” reported Brokaw on the Nightly News. “I was told on the way in here that the Saudis are so unhappy with the Obama administration for the way it pushed out President Mubarak of Egypt that it sent high level emissaries to China and Russia to tell those two countries that Saudi Arabia now is prepared to do more business with them.”
Brokaw continued, “Back here in Iraq, the political and the economic situation remains fragile. So fragile that the U.N. secretary-general is worried that this country could now see massive protests in the streets once again.”
Earlier in his report, Brokaw noted that while U.S. military forces are supposed to leave Iraq at year’s end, the U.S. Embassy staff was being beefed-up from 8,000 to nearly 20,000 personnel.
“So Iraq is a reminder of just how difficult it is to establish a democracy in this part of the world,” said Brokaw. “After all, we’ve been at war here for eight years now, hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent, and thousands and thousands of lives have been lost on both sides. (Video)
Some will say the “bloom is off the rose”, not true. It’ a much, much bigger issue than that. Obama is inept plain and simple. His foreign policy is ridiculous, poll driven, inconsistent, and wishy-washy. There is no respect for Obama because he is viewed as weak. Obama is the new picture of a weakened America in the view of the world. He has dismissed our strategic alliances, he has dismissed historically important relationships, and he has thrown our allies under the bus while apologizing to our historic enemies and detractors. The Saudis’ developing better relationships with China and Russia just goes to show you how flipping dangerously inept the Obama Administration is.
