You won’t get this on CNN, IV
July 25, 2006Saudi-Arabia has threatened to declare war on Israel if it does not cease to attack Lebanon. Seeing both countries are big comfy-cosy friends with the US, this is actualy kind of funny. Other than this, Arabia has also given a lot of money to Lebanon and Palestine to aid them in the war.
Assuming Arabia indeed declares war on Israel, what would the US do? What is more important to the US, the oil coming from Arabia, or the Jewish lobby in the US? This is a fairly delicate situation the US is in now. I wonder what sort of weird statement Condoldoewfewir Rice which she’ll contradict tomorrow make now.
If the US chooses the Israel route, it would get in trouble energy-wise, as most likely many Arab countries would turn off the oil tap. If the US goes the oil route, Israel is lost. Israel is nothing without the backing of the US.
Interesting development, this.

Jewish lobby ?
What have you been smoking ?
Are you sure you don’t mean Christian Lobby?
Jews and Christians share a lot of values, as well as religious roots.
Christians are the power base, not Jews.
See the movie Spin. It’s made from satalite feeds. While your favoirte live news show (say Larry King interviewing George Bush senior) is on commercial the cameras are still broadcasting the feed.

It seems Jews and Christians both agree on a lot of policy.
Basicly, in the Christian mind, it’s Jew > Arab.
What have Saudi-Arabians done for the USA, besides fly planes into our buildings?
Israel is like a rabid dog. The Holocaust was the cause, and now they savagely attack anyone they think will do them harm.
Never again. Ever. And don’t think they’ll stop until they are secure. They won’t.
If someone almost killed your whole people, you’d be a little nuts too.
“Assuming Arabia indeed declares war on Israel, what would the US do?”
Ain’t gonna happen, but if it does.
A: Be peace makers (and help Israel on the side)
B: Take Israel’s side
We will get more oil from Canada, South America, and if it gets that bad, from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Ethanol won’t work.
