The Serious Fraud Office has dropped a corruption probe into a defence deal with Saudi Arabia, after warnings it could damage national security.
The reversal follows reports that Saudi Arabia was considering pulling out of a deal to buy Eurofighter jets from BAE.

It's not that big of a deal, there are things going on in the world right now that are 10x worse than a freindly bow
I agree, what was with all the hand holding and kissing Bush did with the Saudis and no said one peep. You know if Obama kissed him, the right would have turned that into a some sort of statement about gay rights or something.

I didn't know Turkey had Fox news. lolz. just goes to show that not everyone there likes Obama, so the righties and neo cons should feel safe that yes people there still hate us so its ok for you to protect the honor and integrity of our president and to hate them back.ATG wrote:

I seriously wonder, the amount of bullshit the right has put out in the last two-and-a-half months, whether there'll be anything left to say in a year-and-a-half's time.

"The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation" - Barack Obama (a freshman senator from Illinios)
SourceRIYADH, Saudi Arabia — President Bush, on his first visit to this oil-rich kingdom, delivered a major arms sale Monday to a key ally in a region where the U.S. casts neighboring Iran as a menace to stability.
After dinner in the King's Palace, Bush and Abdullah walked through a large central atrium and picked up cups of Arabic coffee to take into their meetings. Sitting side by side in chairs, Abdullah presented Bush with a gold necklace adorned with a large medallion — the King Abdul Aziz Order of Merit, the country's highest honor, named after the founder of the modern Saudi state.
The award was placed around Bush's neck and the two exchanged the region's traditional double kiss. "I am honored," Bush said.
zomg i'll use fox news since the right love it so much

Maybe too many people spent too much and saved too little.ATG wrote:
1) they mandated to lenders that low income people be given loans
2) they stood by quietly when the same standards spread to most loans
3) they said nothing while gas prices helped kill the economy while oil companies raked in trillions in profits
4) they put the same cock slobers who ran the banks that created the bubbles in charge of giving same banks trillions
5) the border is unenforced which drives down the earning power of tens of millions of people forced to compete with illegal aliens
Maybe too many people failed to study the sharemarket and realise record highs are generally followed by record lows.
I think the US has bigger problems than a bow, at least he didn't kiss the guy.
Fuck Israel

how much does the UK get from Saudi?usmarine wrote:

1. He was following protocol. Would be the same when he met any royal from any country. There is always protocol and its disrespectful not to follow it.
2.The queen emails and surfs the web so this is another thing techie for her to get into. It was a good gift.
Now. Bush kissed Saudi ass for his entire presidency yet not a peep from you on that. Tbh you Obama haters are getting sadder and more desperate by the day. Jumping on every little detail. As far as I (and the rest of the world) can see he is twice the statesman Bush was and is attempting to heal US relations across the globe. Your mentality is "they looked at us wrong..........send in the Marines" then you spend the following years complaining about the financial mess, partly caused by "sending in the marines"

if france can be 75% nuke power, then there is NO reason the US cannot. plus, like i stated. we only get 10% from them. we could EASILY get that 10% right here at home. thats the change i want.
Because that would be change from usual US policy towards the Saudis...usmarine wrote:

The UK sells the Saudis weapons.
France sells the Saudis weapons (and why not, they'll never use them ).
Russia sells the Saudis weapons.
Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the Israelis sold the Saudis weapons.
Yet with all those weapons sales, they aren't being used to oppress the Saudi Arabian people.
Weird, that.
