Saudi Arabia is 'running out of money' and needs the Aramco IPO cash, ex-CIA director says |...

And why should we care? Oh wait we don’t care, it’s the US fossil fuel industry and foreign investors that care. Until this impacts the everyday working American who gives a damn. Petraeus like every other retired general officer is just looking out for himself.

I am with LT Brad McInnis They haven't invested in their country, they spend like it is water...no sympathy from me.

I worked for the GEN, and he is one of the smartest people I have ever met. But, one of the reasons the Saudis are poor is the let the big a@@ Royal family seen money like it is water. How many of them have Lambos and Feraris for each day of the month, how many have multiple lavish estates. Even the British Royal family has had to cut things back. If the Saudis are in this situation, it is of their own doing. Putting all your eggs in one basket is never smart. It is their money and they can do with it what they want, but I really have no pity when you are crying broke and you haven't done the smart things you should have....
