We need them more than they need us. The whole country floats on oil.

Saudi Arabia is the enemy. It is the home of the violent Wahabbi form of Islam, it is the source of the terrorist's funding around the world, it is where the 9/11 murderers came from. While the Saud Royal family gets rich selling us oil, they ignore the jihadists exporting terrorism from within their country.

I find it downright offensive that the US does business with a corrupt, two-faced absolute monarchy. That aint supposed to be what we are about. The Saudis get away with it by engineering record profits, quarter after quarter, for the the US oil companies who have so much influence over US policy.

Everytime I see photos of our President holding hands with the tyrant Abdullah bin Saud, I could puke.

To hell with Saudi Arabia and their oil. We are at war. War requires sacrifice. I would gladly pay $10 for a gallon of gas, if it meant putting the Saudis out of business. They wouldn't last six months if we shut off their oil revenues. When we buy Saudi oil, we finance our own kid's deaths in Iraq.

We invaded the wrong country.

I do not think our relationship with them is helping the U.S. in the longrun. While I like some of the things George Bush has done, some I am totally opposed to. I hear and read that he is close to the Saudi family through their common ties to oil. I wish that the U.S. would break their dependence on foreign oil and tell the Saudi's to stick it. I loved it when Rudy Guiliani told them to take their check and shove it after 9-11. However, it seems to me (and I am not up on all the details) that the U.S. has to keep them coddled while we are dependent upon their oil. It is always the U.S.'s fault for everthing to hear some lefties. The UNITED STATES has made them rich, but yet the general population in the whole region is often times poor I understand. That is not the U.S.'s fault - it is theirs for not caring enough about their people to feed them and take care of them. However, if the U.S. found a way to break free of their oil, and they did not manage their oil money well, the U.S. would be blamed for that. American never win with these people. It is jealously.
