Bush and the Middle East

I was reading the Economist this morning and Bush just sold 900 bombs to Saudi Arabia and begged them to produce more oil for us to buy. We gave Israel 10,000 bombs, and Israel is bragging that they are "smarter," thus ticking off and undermining our deadly "gift" to Saudi Arabia. Oh, and thanks for bailing out our banks with billions. Could we be more stupid, could we be more self-defeating?
