Amir Taheri, New York Post: Why Arabs distrust Obama

Last week, President Obama finally set a date — May 13 — for Washington’s Arab allies to gather at an “urgent” summit.

Obama made the invitation to calm Arab fears his administration had decided to let Iran acquire full nuclear capability and pursue hegemonic plans in the Mideast. Those fears were grounded in Obama’s readiness to bend over backward to woo the mullahs.

European allies involved in the talks have told Arab officials that in the final phase of negotiations Iran and the United States were often on the same side against unexpected hardness from the French and hesitation from the British.


WNU Editor: If the Arabs feel like this .... I can only imagine on how the Israelis must feel.

Saudi Arabia used to have an open border with Yemen and many Yemenis had Saudi Arabian passports.

15 of 19 hijackers were not Saudis.

Bin Laden father, a Yemeni used the open border to found work in Eastern Saudi Arabia as a common laborer under the EVIL Aramco that had an evil, evil policy of developing local talent.

Most of the hijackers were likely Yemeni although that does not get the Saudis off the hook since they spread Wahabism.
