Elections and Surrender Resolutions have consequences...
The Saudi's are positioning themselves to survive the coming slaughter, after the American Surrender....
They see the writing on the wall, and know the history of what happens after the American Abandonment....
> END MIDDLEEAST OIL DEPENDENCY NOW
Absolutely. Drill, solar, wind, nuclear, bio, geothermal-- heck, wire those stupid exercise bikes at 24 hour fitness-- I don't care. These people were never our friends, and we need to be able to tell them (and Chavez) that we don't need their stinking black goo.
Saudi FM Saud al Faisal set limits on Arab willingness to help US Middle East efforts. The prince said: "What we have the power to do in the Arab world, we think we have done." He went on to say: "If Israel refuses (Ed. the Saudi peace plan), that means it doesn’t want peace and places everything back into the hands of fate - not in the hands of the peacemakers but in the hands of the 'lords of war.'"Probably a waste of time, this is a DEBKAfile story. However, even if Faisal had said that the US is an occupier, it shows that the Saudis are losing control and influence over the Sunni terrorist groups, who are now leaving in droves because cooperation with the US is the best way to keep from getting killed by either al-Qaeda or Iran's proxies.

Why? Mideast oil is great. The problem is, it is currently controlled by Arabs. More specifically, the Ibn Saud gang, who FDR and Churchill gave control of the oil supply to in the first place. Why don't we just remove that control, and have a joint Allied control of all oil resources on the Peninsula? The U.S. and Britain could achieve that in less than a week. Oil is too important a resource to be trusted to violent Arab savages.
Yep, just like out other wonderful ally Pakistan. You know, the ones who are hiding Bin Laden from us.
I agree 100%. The middle east should have remained completely under control of the US and Britain as a protectorate after World War II. Providing 7th century minds with trillions$$$ has had unintended consequences; our honest mistake was thinking commerce would civilize them.
:') What you said.
The real struggle has been between the House of Saud and the Iranian mullahcracy, with various socialist sideshows (like the House of Asad, Saddam Hussein, Mubarek), the Hashemite monarchy (which does pretty well for a landlocked country with no allies other than perhaps Israel), and the (for now) Republic of Turkey trying to maneuver around 'em. The House of Saud is in a very precarious position right now, and although I've said it plenty of times before, I don't think civil war in Saudi Arabia is very far off. Saudi influence has been in rapid decline for a year or more; the Hizzie war in Lebanon was the first strong sign that they were losing their grip.
