"To those Americans supporting Bush, it appears that the 'Fight Now, Pay Later' option is a solid investment whether a) they merely get to see a war, b) they roger Saddam because it turns them on, c) they occupy Iraq, install a U.S.-friendly version of Hussein, and control the destinies of all surrounding countries, particularly Saudi Arabia or d) it makes the rich richer."

It's gratifying to see more people highlighting the intentions of the Asses of Evil. From Ms. D...:
The real threat to the U.S. lies in Saudi. There is a constant threat of the King being overthrown by the fundamentalists and if they do, they will withhold oil from the U.S. There is no way we can allow that to happen. But, we can't go in and occupy Saudi. So we are establishing our military bases in Iraq. And if, when, there is an attempt to overthrow the Saudi government, we will move in and take over the oil fields, all in the eastern part of the country near Kuwait and in Dahrhan. more......who points to the consistently prolific and informed Xymphora:
We have to remember that the people behind these theories on Saudi Arabia are the same neocons who are angling for an excuse to wage war on the Saudis to steal the oil fields (with the Israeli thefts of Palestinian lands, and the recent American theft of the whole country of Iraq, and the planned theft of the Saudi oil fields, you really have to wonder if all the neocons are just kleptomaniacs). The attacks are part of a propaganda program to have Islamic fundamentalist terrorism render Saudi Arabia ungovernable, so the neocons can march in to 'protect' the oil (Michael Ledeen is completely explicit about the neocon plans). more..."Saudi is likely to fall to al-Qaida and Cheney does not see why he should have to pay for all that oil when he can just take it."
