But how can we possibly dump the Saudi Royals when they have bought and paid for most of our State Department?

That article was almost a "cut and paste" from Robert Baer's book, "Sleeping with the Devil." But it's true, I am sure. It's not just State. The Bush Family, for instance, has millions tied up in joint ventures with the Bin Ladin Family. As do many of our richest people. I don't think it's a "conspiracy," but they know them personally, and like them. Makes it difficult to deal at arm's length with them.

In order for us to deal honestly with the Arabs, we would have to have an attack here tied to them at the Nuclear level. And even then, it would be tough. Short of taking over the oil fields, I don't see any way out.
