It's a massive area and much of it is very stable and prosperous - take the UAE for example.

straight to hell. If any more right wing fanatics and oil execs take control of this country, then we're probably headed for yet another war in the middle east (Iran), and that will be the end.

Oil! They are now drilling for it in the plains of Asher! It several miles deep. And may take a year to reach.   My question is will this relieve the pressure from the Saudi wells? If so all hell will break loose over there!

i think investigations by the UN and Hague officials should be carried out.  no way that's gonna happen tho.  GW and his merry band of war profiteers will get away Scott free.  they'll gleefully take their blood money and live in the rest of their evil lives in the luxury to which they've become accustomed.   GW's arrogant smirk isn't on his dullard face for no reason.

Wow, crazy. Bush no doubt will decline it though. If Osama is serious, I wish we could call a truce and end this.

i'll tell u what will happen in the REAL WORLD, if a state tries to go independant the FBI will assassinate the leader(s) of the movement and the media will be forced to cover up with a stupid story, and everyone else with anything else in mind will be put in jail or guantanamo or the like!\n\nthis is the USA today my friend

The Saudi Royal family have a great deal to do with the Bush family's wealth. In the midst of a down oil market George Jr's Oil company turned record profits. You may say well George Jr. is a good businessman. Well, if his presidential prowess is any sign of how he runs a business we can put his former oil company profits in jeopardy. I have listed my source below.

The CIA has been supporting the war Lords.\n\nThe subject of Somalia is a difficult one. Who is to be put in power? Talk about a lawless country.\n\n I suspect the War Lords that have just taken over Mogadishu will gain (gained) the support of the people (as the Taliban did in Afghanistan) on the promise of bringing order(as the Taliban did).\n\nI also suspect that they will turn into an oppressive regime.  They all want to turn Somalia into an Islamic State and the U.S. is concerned that it will turn into a safe haven for Al Qaeda members.\n\nI don't know if the U.S. should? It's like six in one hand and half dozen in the other.\n\nSudan on the other hand is definitely a place I support sending our troops. Uganda as well.

Not Cheney - he is not the power behind the throne, he is the power AND the throne, with The Bush his minion.  Are we witnessing the collapse of the house of cards at last?

Yes, when the US Military get out and leave them whats left of their country to run by their own government, and elected officials, and manage their own oil; but wait, our defense contracts, no the US Corporations and Bush cronies are making too much money off the Iraqi people, to allow them to be at peace. One Tyrant out and a bunch of "good ole boys" in, our military and the innocent people, dispensable pawns.

Well its apparent to me that the Bush Administration is grasping at straws going into the mid term elections. The american people are awakening to the truth that our own government is the real terrorists. The fabricated story of the Sears tower plot has already been exposed for the FBI lie that it is. Our own government is engaging in entrapment to create a terror event to legitimize their illegitimate wars of imperialism in the middle east.\n\nI just pray that a real terrorist group doesn't cross our open border intent on paying america back for the wrongs we as a people have visited upon others, I know this is a selfish motive, but I fear that after a real terror attack the government will move towards martial law and disolve of our Constititional Republic.

Well, it's not like evrey single guard is going to be an arab.  There will still have to be American citizens.  It's just that the company that will oversee those guards will be owned by the Saudi government.  Just the same, I'm against it, too.  I'd be just as much against it if I had known that the company was previously owned by a British company.  Yes, they are both our allies.  So what.  They're not US.  Not only should Americans be the guards, the company in charge should be American as well.

Al Qeada will hopefully be caught and killed.\n\nThe Republicans had sooooo long to hand us Bin Laden's head on a stick.....\nIt's the only thing that we expected them to do right and they failed!!!

9/11 has been in works since Operation Desert Shield. Even afterwards, while we flew Operation Northern and Southern Watch from Prince Sultan Airbase over Iraq, Bin Laden was fuming at the USA "infidels" being so close to Mecca. It was going to happen someday. GWB just drew the wrong card.

We were not at war when the policies were set that slammed us into the red, sadly.  It's a matter of a corrupt government that is controlled by special interest groups.  Ask yourself this:  if the energy and oil companies are reporting the greatest profits they have ever seen, why does our government continue to provide them with tax deferrals and outright payments in the form of subsidies?   Just how much has Haliburton made in Iraq?  And why haven't their cost over-runs, which go into the billions of dollars, been investigated?  Then ask yourself what companies the current administration worked for and will return to when they are out of office.   The connection becomes pretty clear.   We are no longer a democracy but a corporate oligarchy.  The citizens select which corporate representative will take power, not who represents them best.

way to go for noticing.i will tell you exactly what is going on.this whole war is being orchestrated by the Saudis.it has been from the start.Bush was told there were no weapons but said he knew better and would attack with or without approval.so Saddam is out of power and there are no weapons so why are we still there and what reason do we have to keep prolonging it.the reason is as long as it continues the countries that were buying their oil from Iraq have to buy it from the Saudis.makes sense now don't it.this also the exact reason why Bush keeps coming up with excuses trying to get support to attack Syria and Iran.again for more Saudi profit.now there is no oil profit for the Saudis in N.Korea so Bush wants to handle this diplomatically.there is no other reason that makes sense why we would have to go to the Saudis to talk strategy before the President meets with the leader of Iraq.excellent job and question.can't wait to read all the answers to this one .especially the Republican supporters.
