Yep. It will also be good to be a Saud Prince. I heard they're making $210 million A DAY extra.

"...Meanwhile, after two wars to make the Middle East safe for the Saudis, wars that cost hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars and thousands of American lives, the price of oil is soaring -- up 42% from just a year ago. Good thing we just passed a pork-laden energy bill that will do little to nothing to ease our crushing -- and rising -- dependence on imported oil. Federal officials project that by 2025, the U.S. will have to import 68% of its oil to meet demand, up from 58% today.

There are those who argue that the best rationale for invading Iraq was to ease our dependence on Saudi Arabia's massive oil fields, which might allow for a more rational or moral relationship. Yet the dark irony is that with Iraq in chaos and its oil flow limited by insurgent attacks and a bungled reconstruction, Saudi Arabia is now more important to the United States than ever.

It's scary, but these gaping contradictions don't seem to trouble our president a whit..."

========= Nope, sorry these aren't contradictions but MOTIVES for George of Arabia son of the Bushes of Arabia.

Earth to Wolfowitz and other idiot Neocons! Hello out there in academic idiocy! Did you honestly think that destroying OPEC while Bush of Arabia was in the WH would actually come about?

In addition, the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq just forcibly ousted the Mayor of Baghdad.

Gee.
