Did you notice in the last state of the union address, George Bush mentioned he wants America to eliminate its dependence on Middle Eastern oil? The only country they import oil from the Middle East is Saudi Arabia. Until that happens he can not do anything about Saudi Arabia, who by the way are some of the biggest supporters of terrorism.

Saudi Arabia is a perfect example of how the US isnt all about making everyone like us as some on here seem to think. They are one of very few countries that implore the most extreme sharia law and wahabism however their govt is stable. they are understanding of the stability that is needed in the middle east and are actively pursuing sanctions and other countries to rise against radical factions such as Iran. they are slowly working to fix problems in their society such as the poor working conditions and the (gross) mistreatment of women but granted they are an extreme group. They have internal problems but they pose no danger to other nations. and just because some of the 9/11 islamists were from Saudi Arabia has no bearing on the govt policies for anyone that is thinking that..
The US and Saudi Arabia are currently waging a cold war type effort on Iran and it will be shown they were and have been helping in this war to help in keeping a peaceful ME

Bush isn't going to overthrow Saudi Arabia. One example is in 1988 Bush was a failed oil business man until Saudis purchased a portion of his company. One of those investors was Salem bin Laden who is Osama’s oldest brother. In 1994 the FBI investigated Bush for taking Saudi money, but nothing ever comes out of the investigations. We are in bed with Saudi Arabia. And no it is not because they are our allies in terror either. It is interesting in reading the article that they are doing almost the exact same thing we accused Iraq of doing.

Somebody's got to do it.
The EU is too overrun to have any control and the UN is nothing more than a puppet for Islam.
