why USA is selling the weapons to Saudi Arabia retail price while it'll be used for "our" interest?
they may even sell it to them above retail price.what would we, the regular citizens gain from all the money they make. why we go to war for the rich man's war and pay for it too and not get any share of the blood money? at least to pay for their own war! no one who knows better pays retail price for a car, do they? also the question is ie; if i go to target and buy something but target use it for their own interest, one is stupid to pay for it specially retail, garbish! WHY YOU DON'T READ THE QUESTION CAREFULLY BEFORE RESPONDING? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS? MAY BE IGNORANT? NOT IN USA?

It goes to show just how "soft" we are on terror. The majority of the terrorists on 9-11 were from Saudi Arabia. They should never be sold weapons until they publicly cleaned up their country. Yet, we have never asked them to do so. Why is that????

Saudi Arabia is the lynchpin of global economics. As oil reserves in non middle eastern countries dwindle, Saudi Arabia, with its vast underground seas of oil, becomes more and more important. Like it or not, everything takes a backseat to ensuring that Saudi Arabia maintains a U.S. friendly government. If that means kissing their butt and selling them weapons then so be it. Without alternative fuels, there is no alternative.
