Thanks for posting this.
The following cartoon by Oliphant says all that needs to be said about the reality of the Saudis to the US.
Time to Kick their A$$ and take their gas!

Isn't Bush hosting Prince Bandar at the ranch this coming week? Love to be a fly on the wall at that meeting...

I have absolutely no proof on this, however, I have to wonder if the Vile/Evil Opecker Princes tried 2 times to cause a full panic on our stock market.
Go to any financial site that has chart plotting capabilities. Enter in DIA,QQQ, and SPY these are the symbols for the stock funds which represent the Dow Jones, Nasdaq 100 and the S&P 500 funds.
Set the chart to go back 2 years. Besides the obvious deep drop in value of 9/11 what caused the huge dips in May-August of 2001 and May-July 2002?
The drop in value of May-July of this year was basically the same as the 9/11 drop.
Did the vile/evil Opecker Princes try to crash our stock market on two different time periods one year apart?
I don't know, but it would not surprise me.
To: mewzilla
I think that you are right. There has been some change in the Opecker Prince's behavior since the last meeting.
If we have this data, what does GW have for this meeting?
A friend who lived many years in the middle east recently asked an interesting question.
What if this prince and some of the younger princes really despise the al qaeda and Wahhabi fringes and would like to Saudi Arabia and the rest of the middle east free from the Wahhabi Islamakazi agendas? If they take a standagainst the Wahhabie Lunatics now, they and their family would be dead in 24 hours. What secret deals could they be working out with GW to rid their country of the al Qaeda thugs and the Wahhabi Lunatics.
No one has any ideal of what this prince and GW discussed in the privacy of GW's F250 Four Wheel Drive Pickup with just the two of them by theirselves on the last visit. GW knows we have as many enemies in our state department as in the Middle East.
So any real heart to heart discussions will have to happen on a one to one basis without anyone else there to massage and manuever the discussions between these two.
Like you, I would love to be a speck on the walls of the ranch and particuliarly in the Ford Pickup to hear what is being said.
To: Lion's Cub
to keep the oil flowing :)LOL! I just saw the smiley!
You are right about the arm twisting! The Saudis won't get off their sandy asses, so we are turning up the heat via the foreign press. This is my guess.
We could use the Saudis to get the Iraq project done. It would be alot harder without them.
To: Grampa Dave
I think the US government should look into your theory.
I am sure that there is something to it.

Time to seize Saudi Arabian oil fields to pay for the 9/11 disaster.... > This is an idea whose time has come.
1) Declare war on Saudi Arabia.
2) Invade SA and place their country under martial law.
3) Confiscate the asssets of the "royal family" to pay for the costs of the occupation.
4) Hold military trials for anyone complicit in supporting international terrorism and swiftly mete out the appropriate penalties, preferably death by hanging in the public square of the individual's home town.
5) Confiscate enough of their oil revenues to pay for the costs of 9-11 and the ensuing war on Saudi-inspired and supported Whabbi terror organizations.
6) Divide the country into ethnically stable regions, and permit the people of each regions to elect their own government, subject to a caveat that they will continue to sell oil into the world markets at market prices. Offer incentives to them for creating representative constitutional governments.
7) Each region will cede under 250 year lease whatever land is necessary for the USA to maintain an effective deterrent military force in that region.
8) The penalty for any terrrorist actions will be death by hanging of the terrorist within 48 hours of conviction and one appeal before a military court. Any direct suppoprters of the terrorist get the same penalty. Indirect supporters will be subject to confiscation of their assets and life imprisonment.
That's about it. Later.

We need to conquer that country and execute its ruling class. The remaining population can then be MTVized.

I heard the Saudis had about 600 billion dollars in the U.S. Is that why we do not go after them? Yes.
To: Mad_Tom_Rackham
Basically I agree but I would discourage Democracy. The West thrives in spite of Democracy not because of it after destroying the Saud family I'd appoint secular minded kings.

what the hell is wrong with colin powell...he must get on board or go ahead and resign...or the president should fire him Powell HAS been fairly subdued lately, has he not? Although the pressitudes ARE putting on the full-court press trying to derail the Bush admin's focus on Iraq. Probably the adminiistration has a lot of evidence pointing to Iraq AND Saudi Arabia. The question is, regarding Iraq, will we present the evidence before or after we attack?

The money that they have in the USA should be frozen... Only problem is, this would jeapardize investment in US companies. One reason for our great success and wealth is that our system of laws helps to create a stable environment for business and investment. We really don't want to risk that. There are many ways to go after these cowardly bastards.
To: Thane_Banquo
If you think that CIA and the Bush-Clinton governments didn't know anything about this...think again. They probably knew all of the details and simply looked the other way. Each time that Bin Laden hit the US...never once did we approach the Saudis about the issue of Saudi support. The answer that the American public should show now...is to tell the Saudis we won't buy their oil, and start courting Mexico and Colombia for oil rights.
To: blam
Agreed but, why is the left embracing these freaks?Reason #1 - Stupidity. Reason #2 - The leftist who still have not destroyed their brains with drugs are being herded into believing this is all about america trying to control the worlds oil supply. Reason #3 - Then there is the conspiratorial left who blames jewish cabals with attempting to control the US and to get the US to fight their wars for them. These paranoid and dellusional leftist actually think the US Jewish Cabal was somehow responsible for the attacks on 9/11.
While spining the tuner on my radio a few nights ago I heard a liberal caller state on a talk radio show that 'only the military could have done what happened on 9/11'. That kind of thought is pure lunacy. And perhaps Reason #4 - Lunacy.
