Reader comment on item: Riyadh Reorients to Moscow

"Therefore, should it reduce or rid American politics of the noxious fumes of Saudi influence (for some of its manifestations, see my article on "The Scandal of U.S.-Saudi Relations"), I do not see this development as particularly harmful from the point of view of U.S. interests. (December 5, 2007)"

Right! Just like the Teheran/Moscow/Beijing Axis is not "particularly harmful from the point of view of U.S. interests". ... The US Fleet in the Gulf does not really need a Russian Fleet "homeported" in Saudi!

Submitting....
