Remember 9-11, that was terrible.

Out of the 19 highjackers 1 was from Lebanon, 1 was from Egypt, 2 were from the UAE and the remaining 15 were all from Saudi Arabia, just like the leader of Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden. Interesting.

Axis of evil

speech, 5 months after 9-11. He mentioned 3 countries, North Korea, Iran and Iraq.

North Korea didn't have anything to do with anything.

And interesting to group Iraq and Iran together, like the two countries weren't at war for most of the 80s.

A war started when Saddam

Hussein, Iraq's president at the time, decided to invade Iran.

Over the time of that war, the USA managed to support both countries.

3 countries in Bush's speech after the attack. Troops go to 2 countries, Iraq and Afghanistan. Yeah, ok.

Quick side note, I was 7 when 9-11 happened.

How's the country known for public beheadings going?
Yeah, Saudi's fine.

In Bush's words "60 years of Western nations excusing and accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make us safe, because in the long run stability cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty"

Saudi Arabia, male guardianship system, look it up.

Let's just skip 2019, US troops are in Afghanistan and Iraq the whole time.

Bring on the start of 2020, Trump killed Qasem Soleimani an Iranian major general.

All over Africa.

And why is Saudi Arabia BFFL with the USA?

Well, considering the car was invented, then mass produced by the 1930s. Saudi Arabia became a thing in the 1930s and this.

But yeah "war on terror" ok.

But what it comes down to is jacking resources, OIL, oil is a big part if it.

And of course the military industrial complex.
