Saudi Arabia Funding TerroristsSaudi Arabia Support ISIS in IraqOh trust me, I am very uncomfortable with our relationship with the Saudis (the only oil refinery in my State was designed specifically for Saudi crude oil).
After all, the 9/11 terrorists were primarily Saudis (which makes our later military adventures all the more confusing).
