Bushies are allies of the Saudis, but Iran they would love to take over. I maintain that since they probably knew there were no WMD's or at least no real threat, that oil was the only reason they used our military in invade Iraq. The real scandal becomes that we paid for the invasion not get HIGHER GAS PRICES and no Iraqi oil revenues back. So where are those tens of billions going? Bushies haven't told us. They're not going to the Iraqi people or the American people so where is all the money going?

Rock_nj. You said...." I'm sure the hawks in the Pentagon and the oil intereests who stand behind them would like nothing more than for the U.S. to be forced to take over Saudi Arabia. Then the U.S. would be in possession of the #1 and #2 biggest oil reserves in the world. The power would be overwhelming, not to mention the profit. ".....

For many years the US and other countries paid top dollar for ME oil and would have continued to do so and were quite happy to do so. Radical islam interfered with this trade and was using oil profits to buy weapons and spread their brand of islam hate throughout the world. IMO this is the problem. And I don't think that the USA will ever take over Saudi arabia,or Iraq.

And I think Canada may have the largest oil reserve....harder to get at but larger.
