Bilow, do you think the liberation of Iraq and the security of oil was an issue for 2004? Enabling the Iraqi's to be free and to provide an increasing supply of oil is an objective over the next 3-6 years.

Did you read any of the reports I posted here a year ago about the rebuilding of the Iraqi oil infrastructure? Geez they expected billions required just to maintain production and tens of billions and years to increase it.

So I guess you can anticipate the economic results of an interruption of Saudi oil exports or their control by AQ, but apparently you cannot imagine the political response.

Our military capabilities will respond to our needs. Dont worry if Saudi Arabia falls we wont be alone working to restore it. There will be hundreds of millions of others affected and highly motivated.
