33. We did not invade Iraq for the Saudis.
We did it because of them. The time is coming when we will need to wash our hands of the Saudis. Before we can do this, we have to secure other sources of oil. That is why we kicked Saddam out. With Saddam in charge in Iraq, Iraq could not be counted on for a steady supply of oil.

This is also why we are seeing a lot of activity in and around Liberia. There are 60 billion barrels of oil of the shore of Africa in the region around Liberia. Once we have secured this oil, we will be able to cut the Saudis loose.

Osama Bin Forgetten wanted to overthrow the Royal family and take control of Saudi Arabia. That is why he formed Al Qada (the base) back in 1988. When Saddam invaded Kuwait, his plans were ruined because the U.S. established a long term military presence in SA making it impossible for him to overthrow the Royal family. This is why he was pissed at the U.S.
