If George Bush wants freedom and democracy for everyone, how come his closest ally is Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia, a strict monarchy with human/womans' rights abuse. Home to 15 of the 19 supposed high-jackers

Because George W. is not now and never has been what you think he is. He does not represent the American people. He represents Globalists and their agenda. Do a search on globalism and those who support it or are caught up in it. Find out for yourself.

Dubya's family ties with the Saudis go way back. They call Prince Bandar, Bandar Bush because he is such a close friend of the Bush family. This is because the Saudis have given little George plenty of money for his failed businesses and George has given Saudis many breaks like flying all of the Bin Laden and Saudis out of the USA after 9/11/01 when no one else could fly.

You cannot affect change in other countries without engaging them. Look, every President, regardless of party, has got to deal with other countries. Do you think we had no interaction with Saudi Arabia before Bush became President?
For crying out loud. If the guy tries to bring modern values to Middle Eastern Countries you call him an imperialist. If he does not you attack him for that, too.

1. W is a hypocrite. Along with oil, it's the same reason we "liberated" Iraq instead of finishing the job in Afghanistan or helping out with Darfur.
2. W is running a kleptocrasy, not a democrasy. Plus technically we're a republic, but I'm sticking with the kleptocrasy thing.
3. W is also an idiot. I've waffled on this one, wondering if he was actually an idiot or just an incredibly screwd guy posing as an idiot - like Columbo on that old TV show - but I've concluded that he is, sincerely, a very stupid man with terrible judgement.

George Bush is doing a good thing! Saudi Arabia might be mean but then again they will keep Iran under control even tho were paying them to do that.
Republicans all the way!

And the Kingdom of Kuwait where American oil is horizontal drilling into Iraqi oil.

After all the bad judgment he is just glad that someone will let him suck up to them and after he gives billions in aid they seem happy especially the way they are holding hands.

why do we borrow money from China to set up military coups in Pakistan, who will displace elected governments and kill their opposition (Bhutto), in order to have that coup fight al Queda, in order that we can spread democracy in Iraq?
why do we play everyside of every middle eastern country, funding everyone of them to the tune of billions, and then say "Israel is our strongest ally, whom we must defend to the death"?

That is the kind of democracy we want for America! We could really punish the liberal middle class with the RIGHT kind of democracy.
