The only nations for which warfare being a basic industry ever made any sense would have been the Mongol and Assyrian empires...
Yes. It wasn’t about Iraq. It was to show the Saudis that we weren’t a paper tiger (as bin Laden was proclaiming) and that we were willing to use force in case the Saudis needed defending. The hope was that if we showed we were willing to put “skin in the game” and not run away, as in Lebanon or Somalia, the Saudis would be willing to reduce the protection money they were paying al Qaeda.
IMHO, Iraq didn't have anything to do with 9/11.
But 9/11 presented an excuse to invade them and kill Saddam Hussein.
Supposedly George Bush hated Saddam Hussein's guts for trying to have his father assassinated.
But every time that theory is postulated here the Bush lovers go bananas.
The entire Bush family and most of the State Department were/are Saudi lovers and the Bush family has been entangled in the oil business with them for years so there was no chance the Bush government would hold the Saudis accountable for 9/11.
Don't forget that after George Bush grounded all aircraft in the US on 9/11 he gave special permission for influential Saudis in the USA to fly to various airports in the US to gather and fly out of the US.
And one of those Saudi groups was Osama Bin Laden's family.
Remember as one of their imam said the mosques are their barracks which means their followers are their soldiers
Prince Al-Waleed (ala-dickweed?) owns lots of US politicians, and funds mosques.
We need to see the redacted pages of the 911 report. 28 pages, I believe?
At best Obama has been cool to the Saudi’s, at worst told them to go shove the US/Saudi special relationship. The same with Britain.
It’s a prerequisite to being a neocon.
BINGO!!! Step up for your prize!! excellent report. Thank you sir!!
That is somewhat convoluted but we are on the same page.
I believe this involves 40,000 acres.
“Along the banks of the Colorado River in California and Arizona, tens of thousands of acres of farmland have been purchased by Saudi Arabia’s Almarai Company. The harvest to be yielded? Alfalfa, a water-hog crop, grown to be shipped to feed the Arabian dairy industry.”

is it a problem?
no
Track down the history of the Trump Princess (yacht).
How many don’t they own? Is probably the better question.
Looks like an “unwanted touch” that big ole towelhead has on the Prince’s ear.
Between the Saudis and the drug cartels, I think they’ve got just about all of the Senate covered, anyway.
Here's a Nugent answer fer ya:
lol
Oh no... one of them is going for the dreaded “elbow grab” and we all know how dangerous that is. Any minute now he will be dragged and thrown to the ground!
