Hi SirRealist; Re: "Ending our presence in Saudi Arabia makes perfect sense to me. But to avoid any appearance of giving in to OBL, the only logical solution is to move the base to Yemen, OBL's homeland." How can we appear to have given in to ObL when we basically bombed him out of Afghanistan? My suspicion is that the Saudis and the US both want to pull out of Saudi Arabia, but they're trying to figure out a way to do it that is the most satisfactory diplomatically. The wheels are turning, and US policy in the Middle East is changing. -- Carl
