He co-signed a letter excluding the biggest supplier of insurgents in the Middle East and everyone is all giddy? That's exactly why the Syrians and Iranians don't take our threats seriously. They can point to the Saudis and say you've caught or killed over a thousand Saudi citizens in Iraq yet you leave them off of your letter.

I am sure many here agree with your concern. And your concern is certainly very justified. Perhaps for the time being we just can't afford to fiddle around with the Suadi's, we must face the facts, we cannot obtain the 20% of oil/petroleum products they supply us with elsewhere. If Venuzala and other's could make up the difference, then perhaps we would do things differently, but oil must be considered. Hey do you want your gas to go up to $5/gallon?
Maybe you might say yes, but I assure you it would really screw up our economy. So much is interlinked. And there are times one simply cannot do what they would like to do.
one bite at a time... and you eat the worst stuff first.
