Really nice to see our pals the Saudi's willing to help out! If you haven't heard they now say we can't use their bases for air strikes. This should give us an idea of just how tight the bonds really are between the middle eastern countries and the United States. This is a country (Saudi Arabia) who needed our help to protect them against Saddam in 1991 but now can't see their way to allow us to use their air strips. They love us when they need us or want our almighty dollar for their oil but when we're struck by terrorists they turn their backs. This happened before when one of our military facilities was blown up a few years back. If we didn't have a good enough reason before to find alternative fuel source we do now. Forget all the other ramifications of fossil fuels (pollution, cost etc.). Now our main reason for finding a solution to this problem should be for the single intent of bringing these outlaw, SH!TBAG nations to their knees. Once we find this answer we no longer have a need to bomb or even involve ourselves in that region. The can die, rot and experience maggot bloat for all I care - No help, no money and NO AID! END OF RANT! GO PACKERS
