Old news and not that relevant.

The bin Laden family disowned him years ago.


Try again.

Yeah, old news like the other guy said.

Something else though that you may find interesting... Dick Cheney's oil company helped rebuild Iraq and put it back on track after Desert Storm. Our Vice President helped the Iraqis get their country moving again just so he and the rest of the oil loving world could make more money. Probably not the best thing to do from an anti-terrorism standpoint, but a good thing to do from a Pro-Oil standpoint. I really don't like all of Bush's and Cheney's oil plans.

This has nothing to do with politics but I shudder to think how life would be without oil.

Forget about cars. How about electricity, plastics, medicines...
Well, you get the idea.

That explains why we are treating Saudis with kid gloves. Yeah, sure let's go get Saddam, and ignore that Wahabbis in Saudi Arabia openly sponsor the worst kind of terrorists responsible for 9/11 among other things, not to mention USS Cole, Chechnya, etc. With our own damn oil money.
Wake up people. Saudis are killing us with our own money. And Bush doesn't mind as long as his Texas buddies get a cut.

Errr... what? and Clinton DID mind?

We smile and shake hands with an enemy that would slit our throats if given half a chance because we are an overconsuming nation with
a horrible dependence on foreign oil. Like I said in another thread, we're oil whores and the Saudis are the pimps.
We only have ourselves to blame. Frankly, it sickens me. But, unless we come up with another oil source or pull alternative energy out of our ass, we're
doomed to shake the hand that will someday smite us (and already has).

If you mean put the oil pipeline back on track, then you are correct; however, the country is far from being back on track.

Damn, straight. This is where both republicans and democrats are pussies. The Saudis are not our friends, period.

<< So people in oil business are connected to people in the oil business? That's crazy!
