No, see here, Mr. Kettle:
Iran's foreign ministry spokesman on Monday criticized a U.S. 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 U.S. planned to sell Saudi Arabia an estimated $20 billion of sophisticated weaponry, including advanced air systems that would greatly enhance the striking ability of Saudi warplanes.
"What the Persian Gulf region needs is stability and security," Hosseini was quoted as saying on the Web site of the state broadcasting company. "Americans have been trying to disturb it by selling weapons to the region."
It's been true for a long time that Bush's foreign policy is something of a joke; with decisions made less on ideology and pragmatism than on cronyism and egos.
Al-Qaeda is a Sunni organization and recruits heavily in Saudi Arabia, home to a hotbed of terrorists, yet Bush - and the Republican party and very serious people followed suit - decided to brand Iran as Evil(tm) and make Iraq the focal point for Al Qaeda, while Saudi Arabia continued to be our ally. We even had last week's report of the Saudi terrorist-funding bank that our government has decided to not take action against.
These people are very, very stupid.
