All the more reason to take out Iraq NOW. We are then positoned to deal with our "Allies" in Saudi Arabia, and ensure a friendly outcome for the United States. At the very least we will have the forces in position to ensure the oilfields remain in friendly hands.

Let the wahabbis have Mecca and all the sand.

Just to enliven the debate:

Why not take out Saudi Arabia first? The true head of the snake.

>>Let the wahabbis have Mecca and all the sand<<

Well, I agree about the sand.

The Hejaz, I would return to the Hashemites. The oilfields should be internationalized.
