AMERICAN engineers discovered their oil.

IT IS OURS, in view of this.

We should simply TAKE The oil fields.

There’s be no consequences if, say, a score of Phi Delts crashed some planes into that Mecca devil cube thing..?

When fighting in Iraq our vehicles had to pay something like 400% the price that the locals paid.

IT’S RIDICULOUS.

Actually the US doesn't need Saudi oil. If TransCanada is allowed to build the Keystone pipeline (sorry to beat that dead horse) and the Energy East pipeline to Eastern Canada, combined with the domestic US fracking industry, North America would be completely independent of Saudi oil.

The Europeans, the Chinese and the Japanese might still need middle eastern oil but, who cares?

Didn’t Ike want to destroy them for good by depleting their oil supply? That seemed to not work out so well.

IMHO, the correct response to 9/11 would’ve been to simply take over Mecca and dismantle it. Just draw a perimeter around it and shoot anyone who comes across it. Nothing else.
