#1 The President of the United States holds that position in trust for the benefit of the American people. Use of that office for private benefit, is a Breach of Trust. Is it not obvious that G.W. Bush implemented a hands off policy, viz Saud complicity in the 9-11 massacre, in exchange for both re-election support and post-Presidency considerations? Bush Senior pocketed millions of Saud money from his Carlyle Group connections, as did VP Cheney from his post-GW2 relationship with Haliburton.

The white-wash Bush mentality is both juvenile and dangerous to American security. If Bush drooled at last week's press conference, that would have been consistent with his babbling incoherency. Rather than defend the political dead-duck in the White House, why not work for a strong Congress that takes America beyond Bush's Saud-trust work?

#2 kerry's mouthpiece was of fox this morning quoting the woodward statement... if kerry's wants to help lower gas prices "vowing to end sweetheart deals " for arab counties is a bit of a contradiction. more kerry flip-flops - depending on who he is talking to..a few months ago, speaking to a jewish audience in new york, kerry stated ole yasser was not a partner in peace , yet in his 1997 book kerry called yasser a great statesmen.. this guy makes me puke..clinton looks better every day compared with this crooked bastard...and i can not stand clinton.

#3 man bites dog dong - what is dangerous to american security is bickering about politics. we need to go for the jugular in iran and syria - which will happen if Bush is re-elected. these countries are the movers and shakers of terrorism, once they are removed from the picture terrorists will be - well be-headed.

skerry's approach of bring in the UN will be viewed as weakness and bring on more terrorism.

#4 Actually the Saudi's are not really to blame for the high gas prices. In reality it is the EPA and its various Clean Air Act regulations which are causing high gas prices. Streamline the blends caused by the Clean Air Act to a more manageable number (say one or two) and the price of gas would drop quickly. Also building a new refinery every decade or so would help matters as well

#5 chemist i agree with you, but the sods did try,q3& q4 2003 and again in q1 of 2004, to institute oil cuts through opec. but the member states (and russia) just gave it a nod and the ramped up production to take advantage of the higher prices.

#6 Note this little piece is from Al-Reuters.
Bob Woodward is a P.O.S. for saying this!
(Actually, he's a traitor and should be put up against a wall and shot.)
Not only was he instrumental in bringing down Richard Nixon in a bloodless coup, but he's telling outright lies now about President Bush.
Bush is not in bed with the Sauds. Period.
The Sauds are the ones playing the "oil card" and driving up gas prices by limiting production.
OPEC is a Saudi-controlled monopoly, but their days of enjoying this monopoly are fast drawing to a close.
