Al-Q is doing a brilliant job carving Saudi Arabia away from the US umbrella. CNBC had a poll today where 85% of the respondents said Saudi Arabia is part of the terrorist problem, not a solution. The fact they even ran the poll shows how deeply Al-Q has planted the anti-Saudi card in the US psyche.

Of course, hating other groups and countries is very fashionable in the US now anyway.

Anyone else expect to see the "Who lost Saudi?!?!?!?!?!?" debate in 5-10 years when gas is $3-4 a gallon and the US has virtually no clout left in the Middle East?
