Bernard Haykel discusses Saudi Arabia's complicated relationship with the U.S., including the Royal Family's attitude towards the Iraq War, George Bush, and Hillary Clinton.
This is an excerpt from a Carnegie Council talk on February 21, 2008. For the full video, audio, and transcript, go to http://www.carnegiecouncil.org
What exactly does the US do to protect the Saudi royal ruling family...? And how exactly does US protects the Saudi oilfields..?
Considering 2 simple facts, (1)- There are no US bases in Saudi Arabia. (2)- Israel has to approve any arms sells or supplies to Saudi Arabia.
Why would Carnegie invited this man as speaker, most definitely he is not an authority of Saudi - US relationship.
Moreover, he is quite simplistic in his views regarding the topic that goes back about 79 years..!
