US - Saudi Arabia arms deal

Iran Foreign Ministry spokesman yesterday criticized a US plan to sell state-of-the-art weapons to Saudi Arabia, saying it would undermine security in the Middle East, the state broadcasting company reported.

Mohammad Ali Hosseini’s comments followed reports last week that the US plans to sell Saudi Arabia $20 billion of sophisticated weaponry, including advanced air systems that would greatly enhance the striking ability of Saudi war planes.
“what the Persian Gulf region needs is stability and security.” Hosseini was quoted as saying on the website of the state broadcasting company. “Americans have been trying to destroy it by selling weapons to the region.”

Administration officials have also said the US will extend additional aid to other friendly nations in the Middle East, including Israel and Egypt.
The proposed weapons sales and aid packages are intended to strengthen US allies at a time of uncertainty in the Middle East, officials have said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the president. They also help counteract Iran’s rising influence in the region.

The US accuses Iran of developing nuclear weapons and supporting Shiite militias in Iraq, charges Tehran denies. The Sunni-led government of the Middle East are also wary of Shiite Iran’s growing power, and Israel views the country as its principal enemy.

Hosseini accused the US yesterday of inflaming tensions in the region to further its weapons sales.

“Americans have pursued a particular policy in the region: creation of fear and concern among regional countries in order to prepare an opportunity for selling arms,” he was quoted as saying.

The Israeli and Egyptian proposals would lock in US aid commitments for the next 10 years. The total for Israel would rise from $2.4 billion to about $3 billion a year, and Egypt would continue to receive $1.3 billion a year.

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is expected to announce the proposed aids deals and a proposed arms sales package to Persian Gulf nations, including Saudi Arabia, before she leaves on a trip to the Middle East on Monday.

my criminal brother bought the dvd of 24's 6th season, i think.
and i have to admit the shows pretty damn good.
i lost my interest with the show when it was first aired by abs-cbn.. and they dubbed it in tagalog. what kind of bullshit was that?

but now that i got the chance to watch an episode of it, its very nice.
i especially like vice president daniels..
he is exactly what i imagined a high ranking US government official would be.
self centered, stupid , arrogant, & full of shit!

i wish someone would create a show were the US is the enemy and iran or iraq are the good guys. that would be nice.

in my opinion, i think we have to break the US. break them.
they want world peace.. most people want world peace.. well i don't see it happening in a million years!
lets break america.
break the country that has destabilized the world.
the country that tries to regulate the world.
the US thinks their invincible.. well let us show them that THEY ARE NOT.

i remember something about war while thinking about all this stuff.
from an episode of naruto where orochimaru revived the first and the second hokage using a forbidden technique.
the second told sarutobi "i see that in every era there is war" (something like that hehe).

for me, i see that as long as a country tries to control the world, war will always be present.
world peace would be nothing but a dream.
