More evidence of Saudi doubletalk?
Edited on Tue Apr-26-05 06:53 PM by cal04
Judge caught on tape encouraging Saudis to fight in Iraq
Sheik Saleh Al Luhaidan, seen in video seated to the right of the crown prince, is chief justice of Saudi Arabia's Supreme Judicial Council. His sermons and words carry great significance.

In an audiotape secretly recorded at a government mosque last October and obtained by NBC News, Luhaidan encourages young Saudis to go to Iraq to wage war against Americans.

"If someone knows that he is capable of entering Iraq in order to join the fight, and if his intention is to raise up the word of God, then he is free to do so," says Luhaidan in Arabic on the tape. He warns Iraq is risky because "evil satellites and drone aircraft" watch the borders. But he says going is religiously permissible.

"The lawfulness of his action is in fighting an enemy who is fighting Muslims and came for war," says Luhaidan.

1. Don't expect to see lower gas prices even if they open the tap
all the way and drain their oil fields completely over the next five years. That's because refineries are operating at capacity, and it's become cheaper to refine oil in overseas refinereies and ship it here than to increase domestic capacity.

Gotta feed all those gas guzzlers on the roads, and the lifestyle that lets people think they can easily and economically live 60 miles away from their jobs.

2. The Saudis only have less than 35 years to play...then the bleep hits fan
World oil reserves = 1 trillion barrels
World daily consumption = 80 million barrels per day (last time I checked, but its gotta be higher than that by now)

do the arithmetic and you come out to a bit less than 35 years.

What besides praying a lot to Allah are they going to do after 2040 ? Sell us sand ?
