THEY HATE THE LEGALS of ARIZONA - But Love the Generous Dictators of Saudis Land... Following the Trail of Saudi Loot
THE DICTATOR OF SAUDI LAND IS LISTED ON PARADE.com AS No. 5 of the 10 worst dictators.
We all witnessed Barack Obama pay his respects to the dictator by bowing and scraping like a serf.
We have all experienced the two wars the Bush family has started for their Saudi business friends at BUSH SAUDI CARLYLE GROUP, Inc.
We have all witnessed Obama sabotage the American interests of those pursuing the 9-11 invaders in court!
We all know the Saudi dictators have repaid HILLARY BILLARY with more than $10 million in looted money to the Billary Library.
IT'S UNLIKELY HILLARY, BILLARY, BUSH AND OBAMA WILL OPEN THEIR BIG MOUTHS ABOUT THEIR SAUDI PALS, SHOULDN'T IT BE EQUALLY AS UNLIKELY THAT THEY WOULD ASSAULT THE LEGALS OF ARIZONA IN THEIR PURSUIT OF THE ILLEGALS' VOTES?
Hillary Clinton gets royal treatment at Saudi king's retreat

RAWDAT KHURAYIM, SAUDI ARABIA -- There's nothing like having tea served by men with guns dangling from their shoulders.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton got the royal treatment, literally, on Monday when King Abdullah hosted her and her entourage at his winter retreat here, about an hour's drive northeast of Riyadh, the capital. Few visitors are invited to the king's desert sanctuary, and reporters are almost never permitted. But the king not only allowed the media to venture inside his soaring black tent but personally greeted each of them.
The royal surroundings -- the result of the House of Saud's autocratic control of the country's oil wealth -- are both spectacular and surprisingly banal.

U.N. Human Wrongs
Posted 08/30/2010 07:04 PM ET
United Nations: The U.S. State Department is holding up Arizona as America's human rights problem, fishing for applause from the likes of Cuba and Libya. But Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer isn't taking it lying down.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton managed to go lower than even Andrew Young in his Carter-era heyday by holding up Arizona as a human rights violator in its groveling "Universal Periodic Review" for the U.N.'s Human Rights Commission.
The 29-page mea culpa of America's wrongs is nothing but a political advertisement for recent executive acts from the Obama administration, repackaged as human rights improvements.
Apologizing for legitimate domestic political differences is pernicious, given that hellish non-democratic nations like Cuba and Libya sit on the U.N. Human Rights Commission and no doubt are applauding. On human rights, the report managed to equate Arizona to Burma's tin-pot rule, Saudi Arabia's Shariah-law maimings, Iran's electoral fraud, and Cuba's "preventive" jailings of the innocent, obscenely blurring the lines between real human rights violations and mere policy differences.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, to her credit, wrote a letter expressing "concern and indignation" to Clinton on Aug. 27, demanding that the reference to Arizona be removed.
She's right. The report's reference is a distortion of SB 1070, the state law Arizona passed to discourage illegal immigration and undercut the deadly Mexican cartels behind it. Brewer noted the cartels have left 170 dead bodies in Arizona's desert so far this year and pose a mortal danger to Arizona's citizens.
Moreover, Brewer points out that the Arizona law mirrors federal law, raising questions about why the law is considered a human rights violation if federal agents, but not state lawmen, can ask for ID from people who've already been arrested.
More to the point, Brewer underscored the hypocrisy of the federal stance, which hasn't managed to find any human rights grounds for challenging the law in court.
"In fact, the Department of Justice has correctly not included these so-called 'human rights' issues in the current litigation against the State of Arizona," Brewer wrote.
What it adds up to is an Obama administration that seeks to take its political battles to questionable forums like the U.N., using dissident states as its villains. It's a nasty abrogation of the U.S. duty to speak out on real human rights and, in the end, will only give comfort to tyrants and criminals.
