Okay, the Washington Post is reporting that Saudi Arabia is going to ask most of our military force in the country to leave.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A64536-2002Jan17.html

So, essentially, Osama bombs the twin towers, survives with most leadership intact and then gets exactly what he wants - Saudi Arabia without the "infidels".

So, we can come to the conclusion that...

Twin Towers operation = success.

It's one damned messed up world we live in.

Let's drill in ANWR and everywhere else there is oil. Then we can tell the Saudis to shove it.

Sept. 11 surely taught the U.S. a lesson on friendship. Nothin' like getting stabbed in the back by a nation we helped protect ten years ago.

We can just buy Russian oil.

Yep. Go ahead with the pipeline from Turkministan then tell the Saudis to stuff it. Let THEM deal with Saddam, Ha!

I think we'd need 50 or 60 ANWR's to pull that off... there's not that much there. Save it for when we actually need it.

I agree, Josh. I mean, we're totally reliant on oil from group almost entirely, why not just switch off to another group. I mean, the Russians are billion of $$ indebted to us anyway.

I say drain them dry. No more oil = no future.

Russia has more oil in Siberia than all the middle eastern countries. We're already in negociations with the Russians for first dibs and a remote possibility of a pipeline across the Bering Strait to Alaska.

All our forign exported oil comes from South America not Saudi Arabia or the middle east.

The Russians have more untapped natural resources than anybody-
We will be importing more wood fiber than anything else in the near future. It will be a good test of what has been learned about foresty in North and South America.
Any one in Canada listening?
