1. Hey, at least he admits
that it's about oil. He makes some wisecracks that really surprise me sometimes.

3. dunno the context, but there are SIX MILLION other non-Saudis there
to do all the dirty, oily work....they've been using that number all day long, WRT to all the foreigners who work there in the oil business

Saudis don't play that game

they have better things to do

what's the total population of SA, BTW?

7. Here is his words
http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0405/31/asb.00.html

<snip>COOPER: Guy Raz reporting live from Kufa.

On to Saudi Arabia where the search is on for three suspected al Qaeda terrorists and funeral arrangements are being made for 22 of their victims. Many who died were westerners there to help the Saudis run their oil business.

It has made them a target. This was the second massacre in a month but, ugly as it was, the Saudis say it might have been even worse had they not allowed three of the killers to slip away, reporting for us from Dubai CNN's Carolyn Faraj.
