"...We must make clear that in the event of an upheaval in Saudi Arabia, we will take control of, protect, and run the kingdom's oil fields, which American oil companies originally developed after paying substantial sums for the right to do so..."

Why wait? Saudi Arabia is a fundementalist revolution waiting to happen.

What are the advantages of takeing back the Saudi oil Fields?:

1. We make several hundred billion per year from the oil rather than spending that amount.

2. We stabilize the world price of oil at $15 per barrel. The rest of the world will love us. No more quadrupling of oil prices, as in the past two years, throwing the world into a recession.

3. No more theives of OPEC.

4. No more blackmail, via threatened or actual oil boycotts/

By the way, we should encourage the Brits to take over the Kuwaiti oil fields for the same reason.
