Maybe we should do the same thing - NBC’s Brokaw: Saudis ‘So Unhappy’ With Obama They Sent Emissaries to China, Russia Seeking Enhanced Ties

Jimmy Carter on crack.

The world finally realizes as they did by 1979 that the place is empty and they had better make some provisions, as the USA becomes IRRELEVANT to the near future, and security.

Reporting from Baghdad, Iraq yesterday, NBC’s Tom Brokaw said the Saudi Arabian monarchy is “so unhappy with the Obama administration for the way it pushed out President Mubarak of Egypt” that it has sent senior officials to the Peoples’ Republic of China and Russia to seek expanded business opportunities with those countries.After remarking on the difficulty of establishing democracy in the Middle East, Brokaw said that Defense Secretary Robert Gates “will face some tough questions in this region about the American intentions going on now with all this new turmoil, especially in an area where the United States has such big stakes politically and economically.”

“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.”

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.

Is it just me, or is Yankee Stadium half filled sounding like a crowded ‘embassy’?

But, back on point, among the nations FORMERLY full time allies, we see understandable consternation and friendly action towards those inimical to us, and among those we curry friendship with, like the ‘popular’ revolt in Egypt, and Libya we see OUR ENEMIES IN THE FOREFRONT. Yet when it comes to revolts in Syria and Iran, we are too afraid to even SPEAK LOUDLY, let alone lend their revolutionaries moral support and more.

2012 SEEMS TOO FAR AWAY TO HOLD OUR BREATH.
