Money? I mean, that's what anybody gives anybody else for anything. We buy stuff with money. That's it.

Market price is the usual payoff for X amount of oil. The Saudis get their price, and we get the oil. In addition the Saudi Royal thugs get the protection of the US government, cut rate military supplies and a promise that should their country ever go belly up via a coup 'd etat as many of these royal thugs that can make it to the airport before the mobs hang them from lamp posts will be flown, free of charge to the US.

nothing. Halliburton just goes in there and takes the oil. (that's why the war was "necessary" and saddam was "an imminent threat")
