Hey, what pressure are we in position to put on them other than military pressure right now? They've got us by the balls.

Do they? They rely on us to protect them against external invasion. Also if they cut off the oil it would hurt them more then it would hurt us.

Edit - I think the main reason they came up with the new plan for peace between the Palestinians and Israel was to deflect attention away from Saudi connections to the terrorists. If they really felt they had us by the balls they wouldn't care as much about deflecting the attention. I don't think they are worried about an American military attack. Not that they wouldn't have reason to worry if we did attack, but I think they don't anticipate such an attack happening. I don't either.
