President Bush, on his first visit to this oil-rich kingdom, delivered a major arms sale Monday to a key ally in a region where the U.S. casts neighboring Iran as a menace to stability.

Bush's talks with Saudi King Abdullah, which began over dinner and were continuing with late-night meetings, also were expected to cover peace between Israelis and Palestinians and democracy in the Middle East.

Coinciding with Bush's trip, the Bush administration in Washington notified Congress on Monday that it will offer Saudi Arabia the chance to buy sophisticated Joint Direct Attack Munitions -- or "smart bomb" -- technology and related equipment,the State Department said. The administration envisions the transfer of 900 of the precision-guided bomb kits, worth $123 million, that would give the kingdom's armed forces highly accurate targeting abilities.

The proposed deal follows notification of five other packages to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, bringing to $11.5 billion the amount of advanced U.S. weaponry, including Patriot missiles, that the administration has announced it will provide to friendly Arab nations, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said. Administration officials say the total amount of eventual sales as part of the Gulf Security Dialogue is estimated at $20 billion, a figure subject to actual purchases.

The arms packages are an important part of the U.S. strategy to bolster the defenses of oil-producing Gulf nations, such as Saudi Arabia, against threats from Iran. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states, which have majority Sunni Muslim populations, harbor deep suspicions about Shiite Iran's apparent designs to establish itself as a major power.

Congress already has been briefed on all the packages, which also include the sale of the Navy's Littoral Combat system. Lawmakers mostly see the deals as critical to maintaining relations with war-on-terror allies. Some are opposed to the JDAMs portion out of concern that it gives Saudi Arabia the ability to attack Israel, but are unlikely to muster the two-thirds majority needed, within an allowed 30-day period, to block the sales.

The administration has assured lawmakers in closed briefings in recent months that there would be proper restrictions on the JDAMs sales to ensure they would not threaten to Israel. Israel, which has been sold JDAMs technology by the U.S. as well, also has said it does not oppose the deal.

White House counselor Ed Gillespie said he did not know if the president and the king had discussed rising oil prices, but he said the subject has come up on this trip, particularly in terms of Bush's goals for developing alternate fuels and sources of energy, including nuclear power. The Saudis are responsible for almost one-third of OPEC's total output. Gillespie said Mideast leaders "talked about the nature of the market and the vast demand that's on the world market today for oil," something he called "a legitimate and accurate point."

[justbernard]

My thoughts and prayers go out to all Iranian Citizens. This is an atrocity and a war crime. The New World Order must be stopped.

Iraq (another arab state) did attack Iran with American help in 1980 and started an 8 year long blood bath (thanks to Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr., and Donald Rumsfeld's best friend Sadam Hussien). People got rich, so rich that they want to keep repeating the Gulf Wars. We are up to Gulf War III now and heading towards Gulf War IV with the weapons dealing gang the followed BushCo to Saudi, UAE and other arabs this week.

[Wood2WouldNot]

Lets not forget the 170,000 AK47s sent to Iraq from no bid Houston shadow company. The weapons disapeared completely. No seriel#s, no IDs of who they "Gave" these out to for the Iraqi Gaurd, no balistics, just a $51 Million dollar bill to the citizens. Can't have a war with an enemy without guns.

Are we going to make Iran run or are we going to have the first and only regret for not backing our friends in the Middle east?

[CHardi1099]

I don't see how people can fall for this video. The belief that we would not intervene in a war between Iran and Israel. Our one true ally in the Middle-East, is not even a question. People that can see this are blind and hard of hearing. Obama will not back Israel, so the question is do we want a leader that leads the free world or makes excuses for us. Will we ignore the failure to act on behalf of our friends or are we unreliable as a friend.

Did we land on German soil in WWII?

[CHardi1099]

The only time the troops that fought disagreed with Bush is when he ordered a seize fire.

[CHardi1099]

Um....the serge worked. It's non-disputable. It is a fact that if we did not go into war with Iraq then they would not be freed. All war has to be sold. That is what Bush did, he sold it. If you don't think you should sale a war...tell that to the Jews that died in WWII. It's non-sense. If you think the country was not behind him, look at his re-election. Really look at it. He ran against "inconvenient" Al Gore. Give me a break.

WTH is this shit? Your saying Bush is a terrorist now? How ridiculous! Saudi Arabia is an Ally of the USA and it is Iran who is the real terorrist enemies!
