#Energy The standard story about US reliance on Saudi oil and the political vulnerability that results has always conflicted with some basic facts. For one thing, the US has hardly been a loyal servant to Saudi wishes, and in fact, has more often shown them the back of our hand. The 1973 Arab-Israeli War saw the Saudis asking the US not to make an overt display of support for Israel, but President Nixon went publicly, and flashily, on television to announce massive arms shipments to Israel.http://ift.tt/1jXxuYb http://bit.ly/15KdByZ
