I agree...It is the truth. Unfortunately, we don't want to 'get it' and as a result we will continue to fuel the fire.

Sleeping with the devil goes into great detail about the corruption Saudi Oil. See no Evil is more about his career and how the CIA turned away from their old school tactics, and is the inspiration for the movie Syriana. Both are very interesting reads, check them out if you have time.

Both excellent books.

Run that up the chain of command, I'm sure they will see it your way.:)

Enjoy your year over there and come back to tell us how you feel then. Adios Amigo.

Jungle, I like your thinking...

my college roommate was born on a navy base in Saudi.
He said over there they have a saying.

"My Grandfather rode a camel, my father drove a mercedes, I drive a mercedes, my son shall drive a mercedes, my grandson shall ride a camel."
or something like that.

I find it odd that the CIA, people paid to know about this, and the people we are fighting say the same thing, "GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST" Maybe that is a sign or something. Or maybe the media is lying to us again.
