“Now, obviously we know what we can do with Saudi Arabia. We treat Saudi Arabia as if they're an ally. We provide them with foreign aid as well. Even more, we are about to send them the most sophisticated weapons around. Now, I don't know who it is they think they are defending themselves from. Maybe it's the giant army of Jordan perhaps. But that's a mistake we're making. And our own State Department has confirmed over and over again money going to the terrorists. They're a virtual Jerry Lewis telethon, sometimes literally, for funding of terrorists. So we in the United States should say to Saudi Arabia, you know, when the Crown Prince comes to Crawford, Texas, and takes our President by the hand and then does nothing to help with this matter, I said President Bush has been a good President for Israel. He has had a blind spot when it comes to the Saudis. Syria, look, let's face the facts here. Syria has become a matrix of problems, second only to Iran, which is just off of the corner of this map. You know, if you consider how troublesome they have been in Iraq, how troublesome they have been in Lebanon, how troublesome they have been, if it weren't for Israel taking back the Golan Heights they would still be lobbing missiles in from there as well. Well, so the question has to be what does Syria want for itself? I remember when the younger Assad, when Bashir Assad came in, everybody said he would be much better.”
