#1 Wouldn't it be something if Turki's "credentials" were rejected... Since his true credentials read like an indictment of everything wrong with the "Special Relationship"...

Certainly, we can fully expect no change in the double-dealing subversive backstabbing asshattery of the House of Saud with this "appointment" - a rather comical and disingenuous term given that he is one of the small cabal that run SA. Why tolerate it any further?

Time to break with the PC BS. Everything done above-board henceforth, everything described in plain-speak, everything worthy of the values we espouse.

#3 ...Muslims are reminded that it is a religious obligation to hate Christians and Jews...

There will soon be a reckoning, and if the government doesn't have the will to handle security, others will...

The Minutemen in Arizona and California is just the beginning...

Any ACLUans who get in the way may also be "surprised" as well at the reaction...

#4 The Saudis hold the world economy hostage to their oil production. More the point, the Saudis, along with Iran, are the major suppliers of Western Europe (I'm not sure where Japan gets its supplies). Loathesome though they are, I don't see Bush doing anything substantial about Saudi Arabia until Iraq's oil production is up to speed. I don't see him risking a world wide depression at this stage; allies as money grubbing as France, Germany and Russia would never stand for it. I know this is old news for Rantburgers, but frustrating as it may be, we can't forget it. Especially as I'm sure the Saudis are counting on this fact to protect them from Saddam's fate... at least until they can find something better to fight us with.
