Saudi Arabia Rejects U.N. Security Council Seat in Protest Move

I know the powers-that-be are effing jackasses, but I was still stunned by the news that Saudi Arabia was offered a seat on the United Nations Security Council. Never mind that they rejected the offer. Whose idea was it to propose them for membership in the first place? This news irritated me so much I sent a note to both of my Senators and my Congresswoman:

Whose idea was it to propose Saudi Arabia for membership on the United Nations Security Council? Which half wit thought selling them $7 billion worth of missiles was a good idea? Saudi Arabia is NOT our friend. Saudi Arabia is the source of all jihadist violence. Why are we even talking to them anymore? You want the CIA to do something useful for once? Have them pull down the house of Saud.

From Wikipedia's article on state sponsored terrorism:

Saudi Arabia is said to be the world's largest source of funds for Salafi jihadist terrorist militant groups, such as al-Qaeda, the Afghan Taliban, and Lashkar-e-Taiba in South Asia, and donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide, according to Hillary Clinton.^[110] According to a secret December 2009 paper signed by the US secretary of state, "Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaida, the Taliban, LeT and other terrorist groups."^[111]

For your amusement, here's a story from 2009 by Glenn Greenwald that sheds a little light on the whole war on terror thing. Saudis want Jihad? I say we give them some right upside their collective heads.

P.S. Unfortunately the Wikipedia article quotes Hillary, who might be one of the most hated people in the world. I do not understand why that is, other than that she is a Democrat and therefor probably supports gun control. Or I dunno, maybe she is secretly an African Muslim Communist. Well, haters gonna hate.
