    1. They do act like jealous spouses, don’t they.

  5. Given that nearly all of the foreign-born terrorists who’ve carried out attacks on US soil were Saudi, perhaps the kingdom has finally realized they might want to head that problem off before the US decides to stop backing their stupid plays in the mideast.
