Saudi Arabia
HC expresses outrage of Saudi’s close ties to
terror groups! What hypocrisy! As Secretary of State she played a lead role in
expediting huge arms sales to SA which they have used to launch a relentless
bombing campaign on neighboring Yemen, one of the most impoverished nations in
the world. The bombs have destroyed, factories, power
plants, warehouses, ports, hospitals, schools, water tanks, gas stations, and
bridges. In a grotesque effort to inflict more pain and misery, the Saudis have
enforced a blockade, cutting off supplies of food, fuel, and medicine. To
demonstrate their financial muscle, the Saudi’s coerced the UN from removing
them from a blacklist of nations responsible for killing children, threatening
to withhold their UN dues. The UN cravenly crumbled to a morally bankrupt
bandit regime. The tentacles of Saudi money have penetrated deep into
Washington. They have donated money to H C and the Clinton Foundation. Scores
of US lobbyists are funded by the House of Saud. Red Cross President, Peter
Maurer, reported that Yemen, after five
months, looks like Syria after five years. Yemen has never been a threat to the US and there
can be no justification for our complicit role in Saudi’s war crimes. The only
beneficiary of this appalling policy is to enrich US defense contractors at the
expense of human lives. SA is the largest purveyor of terrorism in the world.
