Money talks

Reader comment on item: Government for Sale [to the Saudis]

Any doubt about the old adage of "Money talks, BS walks," need look no further than the Saudi petrol cash trail. The Saudis are not stupid, and they certainly have one thing in mind, keep everyone happy and if they can't be kept happy, buy em off!
The only problem is that Saudi Arabia's insistence of buying everybody off is contributing to the problems that we, the west, have to deal with.
Makes me wonder when the Saudis will realize America is not happy and buy us off as well.
