Can anyone explain why we aren't going after Saudi Arabia?

[bpyatt]

They are the #1 country to breed terrorism. I believe 16 out of the 19 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. Why are we not dropping the hammer on them? I blame this administration more for not acting agains them, but Clinton seemed to buddy up to them as well.

I understand we get approx 16% of our oil from them, but there are other sources. I also know they have about a half a trillion invested in the US economy, but couldn't we just confiscate/seize that if we deem them a terrorist state, which they are!!

2. because

the bushes have been in bed with the saudi's for years, when Osama tried to take over, they planned 9/11 and used thier connections with * to get him to take osama down, in return for an excuse to destroy every civil liberty we have

3. Can anyone explain why we are not marching in the streets...

demanding * administration to step down. Let us deal with our own terrorists before we worry about any others.

[I thought so.]

10. Yes.

Marching in the streets is a "feel good" loser. The puppets and signs are ineffective.

4. Barbara gets her pearls there.

Because none of this is real. It is all to have another cold war so Bush can ride in on a large white horse and save us.

5. 3 letters : O I L...

That, and any democracy in Saudi Arabia would be decidely Anti-American, and, amongst other things, they'd cut off the oil.

House of Saud, House of Bush!

7. Go after Bandar Bush? Never!

The Bush administration would never go after Saudi Arabia because they are like family with the Saudi Royal Family.

Why Clinton and others wouldn't do it is because of oil. And because the Saudi's have tons of money in US companies. I read in Michael Moore's book that if all Saudi's took their money out of the US stock market today, we would have a crash the likes of which we haven't seen since the Great Depression.

11. Just googled "Saudi Arabia Halliburton"

Here's one clip:

BUSH'S PERSONAL FINANCIAL TIES TO SAUDIS RUN DEEP: According to various sources, Bush has been awash in Saudi money for years. Journalist/author Craig Unger in his new book "House of Bush, House of Saud" traced millions "in investments and contracts that went from the Saudis over the past 20 years to companies in which the Bushes and their allies have had prominent positions - Harken Energy, Halliburton, and the Carlyle Group among them." According to the Boston Herald, that includes a $1 million gift from Prince Bandar to the Bush Presidential Library in Texas.

That's from http://www.americanprogress.org/site/pp.asp?c=biJRJ8OVF&b=47995

There's lots more where that came from.

12. Because the holiest sites in Islam are there

And there are 2 billion Muslims in the world.

Not only that, but the Saudi regime was created by the United States and Britain and has always been a puppet.

However, I am beginning to believe that the U.S. may be maneuvering to eventually invade SA in the interests of "stablizing" the country, or some similar BS.

13. Because we think that the government they have there

is about as good as we're gonna get.

Any alternatives would be worse.

14. why we aren't going after Saudi Arabia

After reading several books on Bush Family, and The Best Democracy Money can buy, you will see why.........the Bush family has been heavily connected to the ruling Saudi family in business for many, many years.....it looks like the Bush family has been on the payroll in one form or another of the Saudi ruling family, so they aren't going to endanger that relationship.

15. They have our economy by the nuts

And Bush likes it that way
