The esteemed Charles Johnson of the Little Green Footballs blog, is now getting noticed in everybody's favorite oil rich desert kingdom. Arab News staff writer and paid apologist for corrupt sheiks everywhere, John Bradley, has figured out that the main U.S. audience for his hysterical screeds may in fact be over at Little Green Footballs. I can't imagine that many people here in the U.S. read the government-controlled Arab press as a serious source of news. I suspect that most people who read the Arab News quickly come to the same conclusion that I have: that the Saudi regime is primitive, totalitarian, unenlightened, miguided, deranged, and a festering threat to our national security. And the Arab News only reinforces that perception.
Still, John Bradley has chosen to soldier on and justify his sinecure by posting comments on Little Green Footballs! See for yourself. He's calling for a CONSTRUCTIVE debate about Saudi Arabia. Attempting to have a constructive debate with Saudi propagandists is like attempting a constructive debate with Hitler, Stalin or a herd of stampeding camels for that matter. But it's always a good idea to understand the enemy, if for no other reason than to learn how to defeat them. And in this case, the most effective arguments that Saudi Arabia should be added to GWB's axis of evil comes from their own media. Troll on John, we'll read what you have to say, you do more for the war effort than you could ever imagine.
