Why Is Bush Helping Saudi Arabia Build Nukes?
-snip-

Last month, while the American people were becoming the personal ATMs of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was in Saudi Arabia signing away an even more valuable gift: nuclear technology. In a ceremony little-noticed in this country, Ms. Rice volunteered the U.S. to assist Saudi Arabia in developing nuclear reactors, training nuclear engineers, and constructing nuclear infrastructure. While oil breaks records at $130 per barrel or more, the American consumer is footing the bill for Saudi Arabia's nuclear ambitions.

Saudi Arabia's interest in nuclear technology can only be explained by the dangerous politics of the Middle East. Saudi Arabia, a champion and kingpin of the Sunni Arab world, is deeply threatened by the rise of Shiite-ruled Iran.

1. My guess: because the Saudi Bushies are helping the Imperial Bushies
to steal trillions through fixing the oil markets.

The Great Even-Year Election Phony Price Drop is coming, though. It won't be long until November, and gas prices are back down to $3.25, maybe $2.90.

2. He's their butt-boy..
He does what he's told.

He's a traitor! I would like to see him hung by his nuts until dead.

3. Because he, his family and his "inner circle" are all traitors
Any other questions?
