"What’s in it for Saudi Arabia to keep Iraq either in chaos or under their thumb? It’s the oil, stupid. In 2002, SA was already freaked out over the thought of Iraq being able to produce oil to capacity because the Saudis have ruined their country and needed to suppress global production in order to spike prices for themselves. And now, Saudi Arabia is enjoying budget surpluses with no external debt.

"And as we told you yesterday, Saudi Arabia has just pulled their ambassador out of the America, and is now threatening us with an oil crash and Iraq intervention if we stop fighting this war for them.

"Randi will continue to unpack the facts today about the Bush Family/House of Saud connections past and present.

"FLASHBACK: The majority of “foreign fighters” in Iraq were found to be Saudis.

"Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) met with Syria and found them to be quite interested in helping with Iraq. Makes you wonder why Bush really won’t talk with them.

"Another mass kidnapping in Iraq. What ever happened to our kidnapped soldier? Oh, that right, our president abandoned him.

2. After living in Saudi a short time I got this feeling.

They would only hire things done and the men will drink the coffee as the women work in the fields. The few men that seemed to be working were men with guns and usually they were also drinking coffee and demanding your papers or some one papers. They seem to be a very social group of men and I would say they do not want to fight any wars. Hire the Am. looks good to them. Since I am so Am. I am sure I see this through my eyes as the culture is so different from any thing I knew.
