I think it was the Kuwaitis in that report but what's the difference. The only hope is the Bush speech at WestPoint but as the country (US) starts to rip itself apart over various issues, i keep dreaming what if we had a formal declaration of war on the saudis at least to cut off all this funding and the wink and a nod to terrorists.

We even buy that Osama's estranged from his Saudi family. I did, but not anymore; that was to give the saudis a level of plausible deniability. The meaning of family ties in that society make that disownment a joke and for western consumption only.

I have wondered if the formal declaration of war is being avoided by Bush because it gives the congress far too much say in the action. I understand congress played politics while boys died in Viet Nam.

If that is the case then Bush is smart not to ask for a declaration of war. I see that he has backed off of Iraq, now this Pakistan thing, his harping on Israel not to defend itself, weird enough war as it is without getting the inept congress in on the action.
