I would disagree on Saudi feeling safer
have you noticed several attacks on foreign workers?
how about notification for US citizens to leave as workers?
killing of Abdul al Muqrin?
CIA has identified Saudi Arabia as supporting terrorists

you dont sound like you follow Saudi events or internals
but I am sure you do
we still occupy Prince Sultan Airfield, which enrages Saudis
just no bombing flight sorties can originate from there

our actions in Iraq have horribly destabilized Riyadh
according to all reports of people who actually visit there
as opposed to experts who only theorize and never travel there

I have never said Saddam was harmless
that is not the point
by lying on WMD, ordering intell to support a preconceived point of view, we alienated all of NATO
the fact that we belittle NATO now is ludicrous, and evidence of shallow national thought
we are as guilty (if not more) for making Saddam the monster he became
I seriously doubt USA elements did not have their grubby hands dirty from Oil for Food programs

surgical hits of Saddam were my choice from before Baghdad's Shock & Awe
which is a bullshit approach we employed
the main shock was how many civilians we killed
the main awe for me is how few ignoramus US citizens are capable of realizing that insurgents are killing our soldiers
NOT BECAUSE THEY HATE OUR FREEDOM
BUT BECAUSE WE ARE STEALING IRAQI OIL


find me one piece of evidence from accounting that US Forces are properly paying Iraq for oil revenues !!!
it is probably guarded under national security
my guess is fat cats are taking the money
while US Forces are subsidized by taxpayers

THIS IS THE FIRST MILITARY ACTION IN OUR HISTORY TO SUPPORT A PRIVATE OIL COMPANY

I do not have a history of wild accusations
this effing war stinks
waving the flag has become tantamount to supporting pre-emptive strikes and seizing another nation's oil treasures
I wont wave
I think it stinks

tactics, style, methods, and underlying rationale is what defines a nation
ours stinks
