"I wonder how long it would take to route the Saudi military and grab the oil fields, refineries and terminals?"

It'd be a matter of days, but would be a public relations disaster. The best thing we can do is get the word out on this, as I don't believe American voters will take to kindly to foreign despots manipulating our national elections. Simulataneously, we must reach out to alternate oil sources, and let the sheiks know that once we learn to get by without them, our dependence on them will not be easily reestablished.

If you launched a media blitz that emphasized
1. 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis
2. Saudi support for some of those hijackers
3. Saudi attempts at manipulating economy and elections
4. The hate preached by the Saudi state relgion against the US

you might stir up a little justifiable racism. While the euroweenies might scream, Americans (the only folks who matter...) might buy it.

Personally, I'd rather buy oil from Russia and boost their economy, though. Do they have enough to sell it to us?
