What...are...they...thinking???

Compared to this, Iraq may yet turn out to be one of this Administration's SMALLER strategic mistakes:

Here's a quick geopolitical quiz: What country is three times the size of Texas and has more than 300 days of blazing sun a year? What country has the world's largest oil reserves resting below miles upon miles of sand? And what country is being given nuclear power, not solar, by President George W. Bush, even when the mere assumption of nuclear possession in its region has been known to provoke pre-emptive air strikes, even wars?

If you answered Saudi Arabia to all of these questions, you're right.

In a ceremony little-noticed in this country, Ms. Rice volunteered the U.S. to assist Saudi Arabia in developing nuclear reactors, training nuclear engineers, and constructing nuclear infrastructure. While oil breaks records at $130 per barrel or more, the American consumer is footing the bill for Saudi Arabia's nuclear ambitions.
As Jon Stewart once put it regarding arms sales to the same country: "trust me, you don't have to worry about weapons going to a country like that... may I remind you, a full 20 percent of the 9/11 hijackers were NOT from there..."

The Law of Unintended Consequences is a lot less forgiving when E=MC2 is involved...

Where's the exit? This is the worst B-movie I have ever seen.

Perhaps this is what happens when you realize you WON'T have time to destroy another nation during your term.
