Saudis Lobbied John McCain & Lindsey Graham to sell War.

[KurtNYC]

Bin Laden said he intentionally goaded America in to a war in the middle east to "bleed America to the point of bankruptcy." Well, as it turns out, ISIL and Saudi Arabia are trying to goad America into another war in the middle east and they've enlisted John McCain and Lindsey Graham to sell us that war.

An August 2013 the Wall Street Journal reports that Saudi Arabia's Foreign Policy includes overthrowing Syrian government, which is Shiite, to put in place their own Sunni government so they, Saudis, can ultimately control Damascus.

The Saudi plan is to steadily strengthen carefully selected groups of rebel fighters not in the radical Islamist camp, with the goal of someday seeing them in control in Damascus.
...
The Saudi Ambassador, Adel al-Jubeir, has long been courting members of Congress who could pressure the [Obama] Administration to get more involved in Syria. He found early support from Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

much more at link including the allegations that the Saudis are bankrolling ISIL for this effort which, if true, calls into question any idea that "moderate" rebel forces will be the ones in control of Syria.

1. The Saudis would hardly need to.

Those two are always trying to sell us on war. I hope there's solid evidence of this. Maybe that could shut them down for a few months, and let cooler heads prevail.

2. This ISIS warmongering hype is SO transparently BOGUS!! We are being bamboozled AGAIN!

By our "good allies" the Saudis & and the DC Warhawks.

Screw McCain & Graham, and the elephant they rode in on. I don't want to hear
another word from them on this subject, unless it is to volunteer to be the first
in line to go fight ISIS.

It was the Saudis who assisted the 911 attack.

It was the Saudis who beheaded over a dozen people this August.

It was the Saudis who created a funding stream for ISIS/ISIL.

The stupidity of the American people is breathtakingly unfathomable ... they will believe ANY fucking thing the M$M trots out on the evening news.
