That's fine, we'll move out. Of course, the Saudis need to understand that we won't move back in when Iraq invades them.

And we have a winner!!

It will be a while before Iraq cares to invade again. The Saudi's immediate problem is that it wouldn't take much for a few terrorists to blow up a few bombs shutting down the oil fields. Some in the ruling family seem to think it cheaper to appease the fundamentalists then to provide any real security for their oil. If they boot us it's just more of the same, though sooner or later the appeasement fails, and the terror begins. The only difference between today and tomorrow is that tomorrow the terrorists will be better organized, richer, and have more drones, while the princes will be fatter, lazier, and more reviled by the population.

Oh, we'll move in alright. But not until after the Iraquis take over. Then we'll move in, kick both their sorry butts, and take over both countries. We'll go in under the guise of "freeing the Saudi people", of course! We'll set of gov'ts sympathetic to the U.S. and become an unofficial member of OPEC. Hee-hee!
