My main man Jon Stewart brings it again in this video. He sums up America's historic WAY Fd up policy in the middle east. The so called foreign policy experts sure know how to continually contradict themselves in messed up policy decisions. OVER and OVER. It makes you wonder why the Arabs hate the West/America?
He forgot to mentioned that the CIA took over Iran's democratically elected government in 1953 and put in its place a monarchy ruled by the Shah.
In 1979, the Iranian Revolution over threw The Shah led by Ayatollah Khomeini. The new Iranian government took 55 American hostages. The 444 day crisis not only put a dagger in to any chance of a Jimmy Carter 2nd term presidency but the Iranian/US relations have been frost bite chilly ever since. Pretty much non existent. America's support of Saddam's Iraq over Iran in their 8 year war did not help things either.
My favorite part is the subtle dig about the 9/11 Saudi hijackers. 15 of the 19 hijackers responsible for the 9/11 attacks were Saudis. This fact gets overlooked by the media time and time again.
Almost half of the attacks US troops currently face in Iraq are caused by Saudis entering Iraq. Saudis make up the majority of the suicide bombers as well.
When was the last time that you heard the Bush Administration mention that? It is always Al Queda and Iran. Al Queda and Iran, repeat rinse.
Where is the pressure on the Saudi government to crack down on their own citizens killing US troops? I guess the pressure is called giving them 20 billion dollars in weapons. Watch and Enjoy.
