OK the ridicoulsness of reality is what causes me to post such boring posts, but I was reading this and couldnt believe that what happened to Iraq is happening NOW with Saudi Arabia.
The US sold billions worth of weapons to Iraq influencing it to go to war with Iran. Giving fake support!

The US plans to conclude arms deals worth $2 bn with Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf states.
The US has planned a series of arms deals worth at least 20 billion dollars with Saudi Arabia and five other oil-rich Persian Gulf states.
The plan also includes new 10-year military aid packages to Israel and Egypt, said the Washington Post, citing unnamed US officials.
The arms deals, which include the sales of a variety of sophisticated weaponry, would be the largest negotiated by this administration, according to the Post.
The military assistance agreements would provide 30 billion dollars in new US aid to Israel and 13 billion to Egypt over 10 years, the paper said.
Officials said the arms sales to Saudi Arabia were expected to include air-to-air missiles as well as Joint Direct Attack Munitions, which turn standard bombs into "smart" precision-guided bombs, the report said.
"This is a big development, because it's part of a larger regional strategy and the maintenance of a strong US presence in the region," the Post quoted a senior administration official as saying.
The arms deals have quietly been under discussion for months despite US disappointment over Saudi Arabia's failure to support the Iraqi government and to bring Iraq's Sunni Muslims into the reconciliation process, the report said.
The administration's plans will be announced Monday in advance of trips next week to the Middle East by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Robert Gates, the Post reported.
State Department and Pentagon officials had started briefing key members of Congress about their intentions over the past week, said the paper.
