are you sure?

you must be talking about Qatar and Bahrain where they have american bases there, and they are highly visible.
you might talk about political coalition in general, of course on oil interest. or american troops in the 1990s.
in general, the relations are never the same after 911. saudi realized that the relation is under a lot of threats. So, Saudi started to move towards the east. the petrochemical companies have mega projects in china, korea, and some in japan. |

y the Military bases were shut down years ago. The soldiers are based in Kuwait, and Qatar, but none are in Saudi. |

A few reasons. the Main reason was fear of an Iraqi invasion of Saudi Arabia. The other reason was because Saudis military is a joke since most officers never even had basic training, they are just there to collect a check. Saudis military is heavily beurocratic and corrupt.
The other issue was the US air force was hired to run Saudis air force because few Saudis were willing to train.
The US is barely in Saudi anymore since the Iraqi government was overthrown. All that is left is personal to train Saudis. |

this really is a litle bit complicated even saudis themselves they dont understand but one thing i should tell u is that, each and every country is taking US as a friend not because they like them , no. just to save themselves from the US fitna. coz if you dont go close to them they will bring problem to you. so one way is to accept what ever they ask you to do. saudia i am sure they are not happy with the US soldiers there but there is nothing they can do . they have to agree to be a bit in peace . look at sadam who was the friend and change they end up killing him , so US like that.
but still those people are hypocrites so anytime that their interest will be over they will turn against saudia.
we shouldnt make them friends in any case is very dangerous and risk |

Hamad is T.C. in fooling

there are no American troops inside Saudi, if there are prove that to me plz
the last American base was the prince sultan base in al-kharj. The Saudi government respectfully asked the US army leave the base before a couple of months of the Iraqi war.
btw, our interests (we saudis) should be the first priority whatever was the thing. |

cause the Saudis are Hippocrates... they say their the defenders of Islam and they want or troops in there country to help them against the terrorist and then they'll sell us oil and then they'll put on a face and tell us that there our friends. its politics and money kiddo that's all it is.. i don't want our people over there any more than you do. what ever politics that you and me have don't matter when money is involved |

saudis r uinfact slaves of usa.they can't make even a car in their country.since they faced israel ,they r scraed and afraid of usa.they depend on usa for evrything.they may call themselves the brave but they r all cowards and idiots who can't do anything.usa can attack makkah and madina,the house of muslim anytime they want,this is a fact that saudi kings r infact usa spies..a country with no army or calling saudi arab a colony of usa won't be wrong.saudis still buy everything from usa and europe. |

Because incompetent ignorants who can't plan a day past tomorrow are running the country, and they only care about who will have the bigger palace next. That, and the fact that they didn't do their work and the US did, now they're stuck and can't say no. |

lois you stupid rude ignorant chick i am saudi and i am not a fake muslim

well in essense.. it doesnt matter if its muslim on muslim.. christian on christian.. or muslim on christian or visa versa..
the thought is.. the soldiers are doing a job to help stabelize a faltering country without stable leadership.. the insurgents are shooting at the soldiers, so the soldiers defend themselves while trying to restore order in the first place.. so if no one would be shooting, thered be peace (theoretically speaking)... even amongst the good muslims there are bad muslims... those are the ones they are attacking... hopefully!
anyways.. as for US troops being housed in Saudiarabia.. well Saudi and USA are protecting their future interests in the oil reserves.. dont worry, once all the oil goes away, USA will relinquish their chummy friendship and probably go after Canada or Brazil for their enourmous oil reserves next under Saudi's... .. then once they drain the world dry of oil, gold, silver and other precious metals/chemicals.. they will then start selling it back to the world at 1000 times its original price... thats the way the ball bounces in this day and age... |
