Spineless insanity?

On Oct. 30, Israel’s oldest newspaper, Haaretz, reported: “A Saudi royal offered a $900,000 reward to anyone who captures an Israeli soldier, on Saturday. Prince Khaled bin Talal, the brother of business tycoon and Fox News co-owner Walid bin Talal, told the Saudi-based broadcaster Al Daleel that the captive would then be released in exchange for Arabs held in Israeli prisons.
“Khaled’s offer comes days after the prominent Saudi cleric, Awad al-Qarni, put $100,000 on the head of every Israeli soldier.” (visit http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/saudi-royal-offers-900-000-reward-for-capture-of-israeli-soldiers-1.392666 for the entire article.)
On Oct. 20, 2010, President Obama authorized more than $60-billion in arms sales to Saudi Arabia. (http://www.fpif.org/articles/tracking_the_saudi_arms_deal).
Is this a mere paradox? Or, spineless insanity, or craven complicity in the destruction of America’s sole, genuine ally in the Middle East?
Arab ‘allies’ provide Americans over $60 billion reasons to “drill, baby, drill” on-and off-shore the USA, ASAP.
