Reply #52: I'll bet the country where 15/19 9/11 terrorists came from isn't

complaining. Think about it. The Sauds were alledgedly behind 9/11 so what did we do?

(1) We attacked a bordering secular neighbor and removed their leadership who may have been a real destabilizing threat to the House of Saud.

(2) The Iraqi oil infrastructure is a mess and that only helps the current market value of the SA product.

With penalties like this, it makes sense to me why they attacked us. I'd like to know if the Sauds were actively involved in Cheney's secret Energy policy meetings. I still want to get those meeting minutes released (if they still exist). I think that will show us that this was the set-up/invasion planning part of the process....and, most importantly, how the fields would be divvied up among the US Oil companies. They were so mesmerized with how much money they were going to make, they never thought that the Iraqi people or other countries in the region might have other ideas on what a post-Saddam Iraq would like.
