"Therefore, should it reduce or rid American politics of the noxious fumes of Saudi influence (for some of its manifestations, see my article on "The Scandal of U.S.-Saudi Relations"), I do not see this development as particularly harmful from the point of view of U.S. interests. (December 5, 2007)"

Right! Just like the Teheran/Moscow/Beijing Axis is not "particularly harmful from the point of view of U.S. interests". ... The US Fleet in the Gulf does not really need a Russian Fleet "homeported" in Saudi!
