If he's so brave, how come he's so afraid of the Saudis.
If I might explain it to you this way, GWB knows that we are dependant upon the Suadis, we need them, we can't live without them, and they hate our guts. The only thing that saves us is that they are addicted to our money and can't live without it. It is a very dangerous and unhealthy situation for us to be in.
I hope and pray that GWB will find the political determination to further the energy independance plans that VP Cheney started to work on at the beginning of his term. We need to be energy independant, until then we need to tread softly and work to change the situation.
