how come Bush isn't at the UN with a resolution then? Why all the talk about Iran when Saudi Arabia is obviously a bigger problem based on what the General just said.

1. Because the Saudis have us by the shorthairs...
We're already pissing all over Iran. Might as well continue. Can't annoy the Sauds, after all. Wouldn't be prudent.

5. The Saudi Royals are friends with the Bush Crime Family.
It wouldn't be "prudent at this juncture" to start a family feud.

3. Oooops!
He is going to get in big trouble for saying anything about Saudi Arabia!! He must not have got the memo. Just like we don't talk about how 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9-11 were Saudi's.

15. More Saudis than Americans? Wow, they must've had a little surge of their own.
