"By cutting off aid and closing the loophole we send a clear message to the Saudi Arabian government that they must be a true ally in advancing peace in the Middle East," said Rep. Anthony Weiner, a New York Democrat.
"Saudi Arabia propagates terrorism. We all know that 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were Saudi," said Rep. Shelley Berkley, a Nevada Democrat. She added that Saudi youths had entered Iraq to "wage jihad" against U.S. forces fighting there.
Lawmakers also complained that with Saudi Arabia's vast wealth from oil revenues, U.S. taxpayers do not need to subsidize training Saudis.
"With poor countries all over the globe begging us for help, why are we giving money to this oil-rich nation?" Berkley said.
These are DEMOCRATS making these statements. That's like me telling you how you should all vote for Hillary. It's simply a mind boggling event that I'm glad these two Democrats have come about to think. Saudi Arabia has been a flaky friend at best. At times, they can be very helpful and forthcoming about many things. But on the flip side, state sponsored schools teach violent jihad against Americans and Jews.
But they do have a valid point. If the Saudi's want to be true friends, then let them show it. And the American taxpayer shouldn't have to fund it either.
