Saudi Arabia doesn't actually need Iraqs oil fields - it produces enough oil of it's own.

It would have been more factual (and truthful) for you to say "Bush wanted nothing more than to take control over the oil fields in Iraq".

Halliburton and the other companies that paid for Bush to become President have well and truly been paid back for their "support" of Bush.

And heck, it's only cost the American taxpayers a cool $400 billion dollars and almost 3000 American lives.

What are we all complaining about?

Would I send my son to this war? You might ask would I send him to World War II? Or Vietnam? Maybe you would distinguish those conflicts and whether you would send your son to fight in them. But that question is misdirected in a very important way: I can't command my son to go to war. He has to make that choice. So the better question would be: would I volunteer to fight in Iraq, WW II, Vietnam? Would I volunteer to fight in any war? Respond if drafted? I don%u2019t know. I'm not equivocating, only addressing that it is a hypothetical. To a hypothetical, I can answer, sure I'd fight. But I have nightmares of battle (from my past life as a Jacobite). So how do I feel toward those who do volunteer? Impressed and maturely knowing that many things go into their decision. But I do strongly believe that a country that can't find those men is doomed. The fact that we can find them is one reason why I say there is no failure in Iraq. Objectively, I also believe it for other reasons. An attempt to establish democracy in the Middle East is a bold, brilliant, noble effort, facing a high chance of failure. That's why I greatly respect and admire those who have made the attempt--the Bush administration. They have been resolute, something I have not seen in my lifetime. They may not succeed, for reasons outside their control or fault: traitors on the home front being a big one. Now those traitors have apparently occupied the high ground. Yet... we're still in Iraq. Why?...I'm waiting.

When Gen.Tommy Frank was visiting Saudi Arabia,he was told by King Abdullah who was a Crown Prince at that time
"United States can have many friends in the Muslim world,Israel divides us".
Do you think the RADICAL CHRISTIANS who are the worst enemies of United States will ever care about the US interest which is based on OIL and STABLE OIL PRICES.I bet they will never care about United States.They will keep on supporting and protecting the EUROPEAN INVADERS in PALESTINE on the COST of AMERICAN MONEY,AMERICAN LIVES and UNITED STATES herself,as AMERICANS are NEGLECTED by their RACIST GOD whereas NON AMERICAN EUROPEAN INVADERS in PALESTINE are CHOSEN by their RACIST GOD,USA is an UNHOLY LAND whereas ISRAEL is a HOLY LAND,they won't care about the UNHOLY CONSTITUTION which separates CHURCH from STATE but care about the HOLY BIBLE which RACIALLY DISCRIMINATES AMERICANS by not promising them a SINGLE PENNY and promised NON AMERICANS a LAND IN THE MIDDLE EAST.If we don't kick GOD out of our POLITICS,we will be doomed.All the decisions based on religions have resulted in suffering to the AMERICAN PEOPLE and UNITED STATES,the latest example is the IRAQ INVASION which was to bring JESUS back in this world.Jesus didn't return but the ISLAMIC RADICALISM has spread in the MIDDLE EAST like it was never before.

"Saudi Arabia wants nothing more then to take control over the oil feilds in Iraq".
Saudi Arabia is the largest oil producing country in the world.Why would they care about Iraqi oil feilds.Even if United States leave Iraq,it's near to impossible for Saudi Arabia to sends her troops in Iraq to get control to their oil feild and for Iraqis who never accepted Americans in their country to accept Saudis as occupier of oil fields.
Christians are very small minorities in the Middle East.To impose the UNJSUT and RACIST views of CHRISTIANITY on the people of that region and to strictly make them believe that Human beings should not be treated on the basis of their actions and should be treated as GOD CHOSEN and GOD NEGLECTED on the basis of their RACE they are BORN IN ,and to make them believe by force that it was justified to bring people from different EUROPEAN COUNTRIES into PALESTINE to occupy their land by force when the PALESTINIANS had nothing to do with the CRIMES comited by HITLER on the name of an UNSEEN GOD is the cause of all the problems in the world.If EUROPEANS were not brought into Palestine after WWII because BIBLE says so,Alqaeda would not get enough recruiter to blow themselves up because KORAN says so.

Saudi Arabia wants nothing more than to take control over the oil fields in Iraq. So they give the madmen money to kill each other. Which they love to do. It's real easy when you're dealing with this mentality.

Wahhabism(The most strict form of sunni islam)is the official religion of Saudi Arabia.Wahbism is based on a concept known as AL WALA WAL BARA FILLAH(LOVE for the sake of ALLAH and HATRED for the sake of ALLAH).They are taught to hate CHRISTIANS and JEWS for pleasing their ALLAH.Their kids are taught in the SCHOOL that JEWS are APES and PIGS.
One thing which is really worth thinking of is if GOD really exists and BIBLE is the book revealed from GOD then why whatever happening in the world is contrary to the teachings of BIBLE.
BIBLE says "GOD bless those who bless ISRAEL and GOD curse those who curse ISRAEL".
Why those SAUDIs who curse ISRAEL and call them PIGS and APES,are the most sucessful and richest people in the world whereas UNITED STATES which is the NUMBER ONE SUPPORTER of ISRAEL is countinuosly going through hard time,deaths of AMERICAN SOLDIERS every day,Collapse of BUILDINGS full of people on 9/11,increase in the national debt upto 8.6 trillion DOLLARS,etc.More US casualties in IRAQ causes more instability in the region causes increase in OIL PRICES causes SAUDIs to get RICHER and RICHER every day cause SAUDIs to spend even more money on INSURGENTS.Isn't that contrary to what BIBLE has taught.Then what are the posibillities.Either God doesn't exists and all the things on the name of GOD are lie just like IRAQ's Weapons of Mass Destruction.If he does exists Bible is not a BOOK of GOD.

good call mcdazz! But, Christian's like to forget all of the violence that is done in their names! All religions are based on the premise our's is the only true religion, everyone else is wrong and going to burn in hell! All it does is encourage this kind of fanatical thinking. I always have said Saudia Arabia is not our friend I can believe they are funding most of it! Bush spirited a whole plane load of them out of the country before they could be questioned on 9/11!!! He wasn't interested in getting to the truth then, just making his own truth to the issue!

[bluestardad]

These guys are Bush's family friend and James Baker defended in court the Saudi government against the 9/11 survivors.

I wonder how much Bush money has gone to the insurgents?

Wow - you must be really smart!!!

Here's a hint genius - religion has been used as a basis for violence for thousands of years.

Catholics, Jews, Muslims - they have all murdered, raped, oppressed and destroyed in the name of god.

GW Bush claims to be religious - and yet, he has no problem sending Americans (of all religions including his own) to their deaths.

Don't just blame the Muslims - Christians are just as bad.

God would be disappointed in them all. Especially you.

[swwils]

I think that all the wealthy in that region are funding the insurgents.They don't want Americans in their business.

[huskerarmy]

The Saudis are the friends of the Bush family that they don't like to talk about...

"Your Islam is based on violence..."

That's it... fight hate with more hate, violence with more violence. The extremists may end up getting us all killed in the end but at least we will have shown them!

[olebd]

Alternative fuel is a matter of life or death for many. This tale is just another example. It's time to turn the tables and take care of ourselves in this country again. Let them give their oil to China or India. To H-E-L-L with them all!!!

Does your God tell the Sunni to kill the Shiites? Your Islam is based on violence, hopefully some where along the line the moderates will step up to the plate. We all know that the Saudis only want our oil money and could care less about American people.

[ghomes1]

Alhamduliah, atleast the Muslims are waking up. GOD is with the believers and the religion of GOD is ISLAM. Falsehood and Innovation never prevails.

Divide and conquer.
If they do not want to live as 1 nation,put up borders. In time,when they smarten up,they can become whole again.
