    I thought that this had to be approved by Congress. They have 30 days to reject it.

      The problem is that we need to trust some of those "Arabs".

      Whether you like them or not they are the people in the middle east that the world and us have to deal with.

We need to have allies in the Arab countries and Saudi Arabia seems to be stepping up to the plate. I guess we'll have to try to trust them.
