Palin and the Russians by Chelle Stockman

While the media suffers letdown after their election climax, they seek to revel in the aftermath by extending the experience through Sarah Palin gossip. What they fail to inform us about is who bailed Russia out of their financial fiasco, so it looks as though it's up to me again. Too bad nobody will see this.

Two weeks ago, Russia sought their help from our past allies, the Saudis. The media almost covered it in all its serious consequences but as they so often do, they never complete what they start. They asked us that if President Obama goes through with his promise to withdraw our troops, won't there be a void citing the longstanding resentments between the Sunni and Shia tribes. That's where they started and that's where they ended without exploring certain facts.

One: something always fills a void; therefore, should we withdraw from Iraq, someone will come in to occupy the space we now fill and that someone will most likely be Russia.

Two: The Saudis have a lot to lose in that region because of their tempestuous past with Syria, Iran, Kuwait, Libya and Iraq because OPEC is in jeopardy which will compromise the control the Saudi Emmirate have over resources in that large region. Therefore, they require someone to occupy Iraq which is the middle ground because it wouldn't be ethical for the Saudi's to do so, all that religious brotherhood stuff and such. The Saudis are about appearances and Iran has always seen right through them. We, under the Bush regime, were being told that Iran is our enemy when in fact Iran is a watchful nation because they have been unable to trust the allies we were so heavily indebted to, the Saudis. Now Russia is heavily indebted to the Saudis.

All you have to do is be reminded of how this all began and then connect the dots for yourself. I've just reminded you, now please connect the dots. This is a time of prayer.

That's all for now.
