At least we’ll know what weapons will be used against us in the future.

In exchange Obama will cancel domestic oil leases, maintain the moratorium on Gulf drilling and sell off the Strategic Reserve.

The Saudis would be fools to do it. As soon as the party is over in libya, they know those weapons will be used in Saudi....red

This is an attempt by Barack Hussein to destabilize the Saudis. They will look bad no matter what the do or do not do.

The selling of our strategic oil reserves really, really makes me mad. The reasoning this time, the same as the last time, is flawed, and both done by DEMOCRATIC presidents. It is NOT to give relief due to their crappy policies, but in case we are ever truly desperate, and need it for military use as far as I’m concerned. I hate these people.

Iran-Contra in the open. Only the Saudi payoff will be kept secret.

I agree totally, This was from another thread on the same subject I posed.

This too is treason. Taping the reserves which are meant for a military crisis with all the unrest present now is just plain cutting our own throats. Drill Here And NOW. Save the reserves for what they are truly for and which is most likely coming our way. World War...

“This is an attempt by Barack Hussein to destabilize the Saudis. They will look bad no matter what the do or do not do.”

I’m more afraid of what this says to world about the
Blank Slate we call President.
Proves he can’t play golf and direct world events at the same time.

Relax.

The US strategic oil reserves is wisely used by the US government as a way to make a little money. Buy oil when its cheap, and sell oil when it’s expensive. The thing is, I think it’s a little early to start selling. I’d wait 3-5 months to sell.

btw, merely issuing statements about buying or selling of the strategic reserves has an effect on oil prices. Don’t rule out a bluff.

I hadn’t really thought about that angle but it makes a great deal of sense and fits the Obama pattern.

What will happen if the time comes that Saudi is caught up in a civil war? Will Obama send US troops to help out?

There will be lots of Americans on the East coast who need to be evacuated. Many more than there are in Libya.

I’m going to guess that’s not going to happen. Why would the Saudi dictators aid in the overthrow of one of their buddies? Anyway, why doesn’t O get off his ass and ship American arms to them if he wants to go that route?
