| [The Peninsula] Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... closed its embassy in Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... on Monday and evacuated all its diplomats over "security" concerns in Libya, the SPA state news agency reported. The Saudi ambassador to Libya Mohammed Mahmud al-Ali told SPA the kingdom's consulate in Libya was also closed "due to the current circumstances and the security situation." He said all diplomats in Libya were flown out of the North African country. |

| #2 It means that the US remains the court of last resort for the middle east. Another wilder thought. Have you noticed that with the exception of Egypt, ALL of the countries in turmoil in the ME are major oil producers? Libya, Algeria, Syria, Iraq are all oil producers with Libya and Iraq having major oil and gas finds in recent months. The only countries NOT in shambles are Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iran. Could it possible be the "Arab Spring" was a way for Iran or KSA to eliminate competition and increase cash flow...or is it the inscrutable Mr. Putin at his devious best? |

| #1 So if the Soddy's even quit an Islamic country and we and we are still there... what the hell does that mean? |
