<<The fall of the House of Saud<< It all makes sense to me:) It is the immutable universal law of reciprocity in action...is it not? - The respectable part of the Bin laden (sans Osama) family makes lets say $100 million from their investment in the Carlyle Group which is run by Bush Senior, John Majors etc..who supply logistical supplies for the Afghan and soon-to-be Iraq wars. - Saudi Arabia pays $ 100 Million protection money to Osama so he leaves them alone. - Al Queda finances their terrorism operations with all that cash. - The U.S. e-prints trillions to offset the losses in equities/debt since 9-11...finances the war..monetizes the airline, auto, and manufacturing industries etc.... and all of our money problems are fixed by the same tools that created them. Then we start again... Right? LOL Did I leave the part out about the $32 Trillion of debt that needs to be cleansed? Ya...gold works for me.

Is the unstable situation in Saudi Arabia the main reason why Bush seems out and out desperate to have a war in Iraq NOW regardless of whether or not Hussein has any weapons? FWIW I do not think Hussein is a real threat. Even if he is a threat, he is much less of one that North Korea (who we aggitated for no reason), and Pakistan, both of which are nuclear threats. Let's look at the picture. The only picture that makes any sense. That picture is oil. We lost Iran when the Shah fell to the millitants. We are scared to death of losing Saudi Arabia but as of now we have no justification that the world could possibly support for an attack there. Losing Saudi Arabia when Iraq under Hussein would be too much to take. Iraq could stop pumping in a second if Saudi Arabia stopped, cripling the world economy. In order to guarantee oil supplies, we HAVE to have a US friendly regime in Iraq, and it HAS to be soon. War at any cost must be taken, peace for free could be too costly. Does this summ it up? It does not have to be justified on legal grounds, ethical grounds, or any grounds other than Bush is scared to death of a disruption in the worlds oil supply. Venezuela only adds to the problem. Are we headed in there as well? Does this thought complete the picture? We support Saudi Arabia now because we HAVE to, not because we want to. M
