The US should be exporting oil and not importing it; we simply have more of it than anybody else does. The ONLY way to get there from here as I see it is the same way you stop smoking, i.e. totally ban the importation of oil on a single day and deal with the consequences. If you managed it properly, it would mess us up about as badly as we were during WW-II for about a year or a year and a half. At the end of the year or 1.5 years, we’d be in vastly better shape than we are now and all of the rogue states and terror organizations in the world would be on life support or dead. The Saudis would be back to living in tents and riding camels.

One potentially huge part of the solution would be neighborhood work sites; in any given metro area there cannot likely be more than 20% of anybody which needs to be in one physical work site more than one day a week. The other four days they could be at neighborhood work sites which they walked to and use electrons instead of all the oil and rubber.

“If I could somehow snap my fingers and cut off the funding from one country, it would be Saudi Arabia,” Stuart Levey, the under secretary of the Treasury in charge of tracking terror financing, told ABC News.

So level the country, first the oil fields. Freeze their accounts and name them a terror state.

One of the reasons Bush has lost so much popular support for the war is he has not fought it to win - no holds barred - and I think many have sensed that. Here is another test of the Bush doctrine announced after 9/11 and it appears he really didn’t mean it in all cases.

Saudi Arabia has always been the real problem.

It has long since been the time for “plausible deniability” assassinations of such men. “Natural causes” and “accidents” could wipe out a few dozen, and put a major crimp in the financing of al-Qaeda.

Since we have relatively free access to Saudi, this should have been done long ago. And US policy only prohibits the assassination of foreign “leaders”.

And we continue to fill the Saudi coffers.

It shopuld be evident to anyone but a blind man that the Muslims are intent on taking over the world, just as they were back in the 700’s.

We should find our own oil sources and alternative fuels, amd expel every single Muslim in the west back into the waterless wastes of the Saudi Deserts where they belong.

And to think of how many people called me a damn fool for suggesting that the U.S. was on the wrong side in the Gulf War . . .

we really need the USA to get off dependency on foreign oil. Then we need the rest of the world to do the same thing.
