I have been hearing that there is no reason to pump more oil for some time now. If plenty of oil is being pumped but everyone is cutting back because of the price where is the oil? You can only store so much oil and then you would have to stop pumping but no one is doing that so obviously greed is the reason that OPEC does not want to increase production. They are lying through their teeth.

I would be past asking OPEC and Saudi Arabia to pump more oil. Its time the world told them they will pump more oil until the price gets down to around $50 a barrel or OPEC is going to be internationally outlawed as the criminal cartel it is.

OPEC is bring the world to an economic crises point and if the big powers don’t do something rather quickly it is going to be too late.

I have a suggestion. Everyone should open up their national oil reserves right now and at the same time the U.S. should take care of the Iranian nuclear and military threat. After this threat is out of the way there will be no future oil speculation because of the Iranian threat. Then we should go all out to help Iraq gear up their oil producing capability and also tell Saudi Arabia that they will fill the gap or they risk dire consequences.

OPEC sees no need to pump more after price surge | Reuters

DUBAI (Reuters) - OPEC members saw no need on Sunday to pump more oil in response to last week’s double-digit surge in oil prices to over $139 a barrel that top exporter Saudi Arabia described as unjustified.

Top oil exporter Saudi Arabia is the only OPEC member with capacity to boost output quickly and significantly.

But Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi and his Pakistani counterpart met on Sunday and agreed that the price rise was unjustified and unrelated to market fundamentals, the official Saudi Press Agency reported.

“The increase of the oil prices is becoming a real threat to the worldwide economy,” Germany’s Economy Minister Michael Glos told Reuters.

$150 OIL?

OPEC blames factors beyond its control, including speculation and international political tension, for the price rises. Those factors could take prices even higher soon, said Iran’s OPEC representative Muhammad Ali Khatibi.

“I forecast that by the end of summer the price of oil will reach $150 a barrel,” Mohammad Ali Khatibi was quoted as saying by Iran’s state broadcaster.

Democrats represent the majority of Americans so what does that say about national sanity? It is obvious to me that the leadership of neither party have sane answers on many issues but who elects them?

The Democrats are insane

The popular definition of insanity is making the same mistake over and over again expecting a different result.

By this definition, the Democratic Party leadership is insane.

Three examples:

High gas prices: The Democrats’ answer? A back-to-the-glorious-70s Jimmy Carter freeze in the dark replay with a global warming twist.

Health insurance availability and cost: The Democrats’ answer? A back-to-the-90s Hillary Clinton government seizure of the whole health care system.

War in Iraq: The Democrats’ plan? Declare defeat on the brink of success to relive the glory days of Vietnam.

Read on and weep for the great Democratic Party

Those who rant about the war in Iraq might consider the domestic war in the U.S. It is far more destructive.

War on 2 fronts: Abroad … and at home

Eminent historians Will and Ariel Durant said, “The family is the nucleus of civilization.” As bad as the Iraq war and its costs are, the battles here on our own soil are worse. And costlier.

We’d better call for an all-out “surge” in this domestic war, while we still have the resources, courage – and liberty – to do it.

Apparently that story you heard on 60 Minutes about the military just producing a non lethal ray gun is disinformation. The weapons were designed to be quite lethal. They were developed five years ago and they could have been used in Iraq to save troops lives. However, some in the administration think it would not be politically correct to use such a powerful weapon against those trying to kill our people. So we get lies about why the weapon were developed and they soft shoe it as a not lethal weapon. So our boys do not get to use it but instead many of them get to die.

FrontPage Magazine

FP: Why did 60 Minutes provide this information to the country without double checking it? They are putting our soldiers’ lives in greater danger, no?Gaubatz: I want to believe Ms. Mary Walsh had good intentions and believed the information she was being provided was accurate. Ms. Walsh knows the 60 Minutes story is now false and Pentagon officials lied to her. The big question is rather: will 60 Minutes admit they made a huge mistake which continues to put our soldier’s lives in danger everyday. Each day that goes by and another soldier dies should weigh heavily on every member of 60 Minutes. Each mother who is handed a letter from a Pentagon official advising their son or daughter was killed in Iraq, should write a letter to Mary Walsh and ask her how she can continue not to reveal the truth.

I can sleep easy at night because I have always brought out the truth in regards to issues in Iraq. Can Mary Walsh, David Martin (60 Minutes), and the Pentagon officials?

Lest anyone think that John McCain is the answer for America. Read this article. McCain has all the ingredients to be America’s worst nightmare.

McCain’s Incoherent New World Order

“But if the liberals get beyond their differences with McCain on Iraq, they will not only vote for him but promote his agenda as president. Then, as Rush Limbaugh notes, it may eventually be possible to change the name of the United States of America: “We’ll call ourselves New Europe.” In the process, true conservatism as a political force will be finished in the U.S.” ”For reasons that remain largely a mystery, he has chosen to take the U.S. down the road of “global governance,” in which the U.N. and other international agencies, institutions and alliances determine our fate as a nation. It is the same road the Democrats are on. It is a tragedy for our country.”

There is so much money in drugs going to the U.S. that even government not already corrupted by the money cannot cope with the gangsters. Over tens thousands people die in drug wars and by drug overdoses in Mexico and the United States each year.

More U.S. citizens die because of drug users then die in Iraq but where are the liberals on this issue? Drugs have led to government corruption and is leading to a police state yet demented users think that doing drugs is harmless. If there were no users these things would not be happening. Therefore, if you use illegal drugs you are also guilty of murder.

Many of the same people who make the most noise about U.S. foreign wars are the same ones that bring murder and tyranny through their immoral drug use. What percentage of the rich and famous that are always whining about Iraq and George Bush use drugs and bring this death to the land? They ought to learn the meaning of the word hypocrite!

All who use illegal drugs are honorary members of the Demented, Delusional or Dumb Club.

Drug tyranny on the border - Washington Post- msnbc.com

More than 20,000 Mexican troops and federal police are engaged in a multi-front war with the private armies of rival drug lords, a conflict that is being waged most fiercely along the 2,000-mile length of the U.S.-Mexico border. The proximity of the violence has drawn in the Bush administration, which has proposed a $500 million annual aid package to help President Felipe Calderón combat what a Government Accountability Office report estimates is Mexico’s $23 billion a year drug trade.

Ahmadinejad is obviously delusional. When a country allows a clearly delusional leader to stay in power they richly deserve my Demented, Delusional or Dumb Club of the week award. To all people in Iran who support Ahmadinejad I say congratulations.

FOXNews.com - Ahmadinejad Calls Iran World’s ‘Number One’ Power, Attacks Domestic Critics - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News

“Iran is the number one power in the world,” Ahmadinejad said Thursday in a speech to the families of those killed in his country’s war with Iraq more than 20 years ago.”Today the name of Iran means a firm punch in the teeth of the powerful and it puts them in their place,” the president said in an address broadcast live on state television, AFP reported.

Our World: From Basra to Bethlehem to Beit El Jerusalem Post

BRITAIN’S foolish and dangerous actions in Basra are strikingly similar to the international community’s policies regarding the Palestinian Authority generally and the PA’s security services specifically. And whereas in Iraq there is some chance that the wreck the British have made of Basra can be fixed by the Iraqi military and the US forces in the country, there is no countervailing force to curb the adverse impacts of the international community’s treatment of the corrupt, terror supporting, jihadist Palestinian security forces. This is the case because the Israeli government, which is the only countervailing force that could repair the damage, is exacerbating the problem.

Since the PA and its security forces were formed in 1994, they have never once taken serious action against the terror infrastructure in either Judea and Samaria or Gaza. Indeed, the PA and its security services played a central role in building those infrastructures of terror. Beyond that, since 1996, every single time that the PA’s security services have been forced to choose between Israel and the terrorists, they have joined ranks with the terrorists to attack Israel.
In spite of this fact, yesterday representatives of 90 states and organizations convened in Paris and pledged to give the PA $5.6 billion over the next three years. The PA will receive some $1.7 billion next year - $1.2 billion of which will go to funding the PA budget. Most of that money will be spent paying the salaries, arming and training the PA security forces.

The ‘Concerned Local Citizens’ Program Grows into a Bona-Fide Phenomenon - HUMAN EVENTS: “Called “basically a thumb in the eye of the Maliki government that won’t get its [act] together” by one American officer, the Concerned Local Citizens program puts ground-level security in the hands of the individual tribes and groups who need it most. Under the program’s coalition-crafted guidelines, members of individual tribes are allowed to arm themselves and to conduct their own security operations and patrols, provided that, among other requirements, they submit to the authority of Coalition and Iraqi Security forces.
The main premise behind the Concerned Local Citizens program is simply the belief that Iraqis as a whole oppose the militias and terrorist groups that have plagued Iraq for the last several years — and that citizen empowerment, backed by the coalition, will lead to a rejection of the forces that terrorize the civilian population in a given area.”

We need to implement that same concept in our own inner cities.

Spending bill shrinks border fence - - The Washington Times, America’s Newspaper: “Congress last night passed a giant new spending bill that undermines current plans for a U.S.-Mexico border fence, allowing the Homeland Security Department to build a single-tier barrier rather than the two-tier version that has worked in California.

The spending bill, written by Democrats and passed 253-154 with mostly their votes, surrenders to President Bush’s budget demands, meeting his spending limit with a $515 billion bill to fund most of the federal government and setting up votes to pay for the Iraq war. But Democrats reached his goal in part by slashing his defense and foreign-aid priorities to pay for added domestic spending.”

How did we know they would try to pull this on us? Congress obviously has no intention of doing what Americans want. We want a double fence with a patrolled road in-between to keep out drug runners, illegals and terrorists. We do not want a single wire fence that anyone can cut through. If congress will not get with the national security program I suggest we replace them all.

Minister insists Britain did not ‘flee’ Basra as Al Qaeda No 2 celebrates the Daily Mail: “Defence Minister Bob Ainsworth today insisted ‘We have not been forced to retreat’ from Basra after the Al Qaeda deputy celebrated the British decision ‘to flee’.”

Actually you did flee Iraq. When you announced you would pull out your troops because you thought Iraq was a lost cause you did exactly that. The only reason there is a chance of success in Iraq is because the US would not leave and allow the Islamics to take over Iraq. The British politicians were like all the liberals who just planned to cut and run.

LA Weekly - News - L.A. Gangs: Nine Miles and Spreading - Peter Landesman - The Essential Online Resource for Los Angeles: “L.A. Gangs: Nine Miles and Spreading
More codeless, arbitrary and brutal than ever… and coming to a neighborhood near you”

Lawless gangs are more a threat to America than terrorists. So why does America put up with this lawlessness? If America cannot figure out how to stop inner city and drug gangs it will not have to worry about external threats, because we will soon be Iraq.

Toward a new energy policy - - The Washington Times, America’s Newspaper: “Terrorist training camps and insurgents in Iraq and elsewhere are funded by Saudi and Iranian petrodollars. So are bounties for families of suicide bombers. It is incredible: by buying Saudi-controlled OPEC oil we finance a war against ourselves.”

“For all these reasons, as well as for our long-term economic and security concerns, we must break our addiction to oil. Now, there are some naive people who believe we can somehow make the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries change its ways. This is unrealistic. OPEC will never be brought under control. The evidence is clear: OPEC’s price-fixing is not only a crime under U.S. law but is banned by international law as well.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) contains antitrust provisions and outlaws conspiracies to fix markets and permits member nations to prosecute all parties to such conspiracies. But successful challenges to OPEC’s price-fixing will not happen in the real world.”

I agree with you that we need to become energy independent but I disagree with some of your statements. You say OPEC can never be brought under control and then you say OPEC is breaking international law. Yet, you do not explain why members of the WTO cannot prosecute the obvious price fixing conspiracy of OPEC. Why have international laws and agreements if they cannot be enforced? But, assumings you are right, there are other ways to bring OPEC down.

I disagree with your conclusions of how we will free ourselves of oil dependence. Alcohol will play a small role but it should not be our major focus it may do more harm than good. Bio diesel or coal slurry would make more sense although neither will be clean fuels. Having said that, here is what I believe we really need to do.

Convert the whole Nevada nuclear test range and nuclear waste storage above ground areas to solar collectors. This eminence land area will cost us nothing and the land is useful for nothing else. Energy for solar electric when mass produced using the latest technology and technology that is now under development can be produced at less than the cost of coal.

So what does that have to do with cars and fuel oil? All cars should be converted to solar because once we get these solar stations up and running there will be a huge surplus of electric. Much of that surplus electric could either be converted to hydrogen or more likely our cars could just use electric motors and quick charge stations.

One major problem has been the limitations of batteries. The answer probably is not in a better longer range battery. The answer is in a super capacitor that will recharge in the time it now takes to fill your tank with gas and that will provide a three hundred mile range between recharges. That technology is now already under development. When the solar pieces come together you will be able to power your car for a couple of cents per mile. There already is plenty of off hour night time generating capacity in the US to power most of the cars in the US. All this could be phased in, within one decade.

All we really need to get this rolling is for big money to get behind this project and for the oil lobby and special interest politicians to butt out. Google has started the funding process pledging hundred of millions of dollars, now where are the multi billion dollar foundations and the capitalists?

After all, only the survival of Western civilization is at state. No, I am not talking about global warming hype although going solar would address rising CO2 concerns as well. I am talking about enemies of Western civilization selling oil at extortion rates and then using the money from us to undermine our society.

FOXNews.com - Bill Clinton Tells Iowans: I ‘Opposed Iraq’ From Start - Politics Republican Party Democratic Party Political Spectrum
MUSCATINE, Iowa — Showing inconsistency on an issue that has dogged his wife, former President Bill Clinton told Iowa Democrats on Tuesday that he “opposed (war in) Iraq from the beginning.”
Clinton was in Iowa on the campaign trail for his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton.
On Iraq, he told the crowd that wealthy people like he and his wife should pay more taxes in times of war. “Even though I approved of Afghanistan and opposed Iraq from the beginning, I still resent that I was not asked or given the opportunity to support those soldiers,” Clinton said”

Do we really want four more years of the Clinton’s lying to our face? Apart from his lie about his position on Iraq his statement that he was not given the opportunity to support those soldiers is absurd. Must government force you to pay higher taxes if you think you are not paying enough? Anyone, I repeat anyone can pay more taxes if they want to. The government will not refuse your contributions so please spare us the sanctimonious crap about not being taxed enough. Who says you cannot use your money for the benefit of mankind? Must government force you to do what is right?

Islamists target Arizona base - - The Washington Times, America’s Newspaper: “Fort Huachuca, the nation’s largest intelligence-training center, changed security measures in May after being warned that Islamist terrorists, with the aid of Mexican drug cartels, were planning an attack on the facility. Fort officials changed security measures after sources warned that possibly 60 Afghan and Iraqi terrorists were to be smuggled into the U.S. through underground tunnels with high-powered weapons to attack the Arizona Army base, according to multiple confidential law enforcement documents obtained by The Washington Times.”

Excuse me, I did not just fall off the turnip truck. I am finding this “threat” to Fort Huachuca to be a work of pure fiction. Anyone attacking Fort Huachuca would be taking part in an almost instant suicide mission. It would also be insanity for Mexican drug cartels to want to take part in something like this. It would bring the certain end of them which of course is not in their best interest. Terrorists are not even having success in attacking soft targets in the US so they are not about to hit a hard target unless they have a nuke. In that case they would more likely go after a large city not a secure base that is spread out over square miles. I should believe the border patrol is not going to notice 60 well armed men in the deserts of Arizona? The border patrol is everywhere in this area you can’t even take a leak in the desert without being under observation.

This is planted information for some reason from one side or the other. It could be meant to take attention off the real target. Something more in line with the terrorists real capabilities, like a unarmed school or day care facility?

Iraq war is hell on the bottom line at the box office: “The public apathy Magruder has seen toward the Iraq conflict seems to be carrying over to the movie theater. Part of that theatrical indifference can be attributed to a nationwide flatlining of box-office receipts this fall. Last weekend was the lowest-attended mid-November weekend in 14 years, according to Brandon Gray, publisher of the online box office monitor Box Office Mojo. But to some Iraq veterans, like Magruder, who have tried to raise awareness about the war’s perils, the apathy represents a larger disconnect many Americans feel toward the war. Implicit in the Redford, Streep and Tom Cruise film ‘Lions for Lambs’ is a challenge to filmgoers to become impassioned about the war. Few received the challenge; box-office gross for the film dropped 57 percent nationally last weekend, its second in theaters. Its two-week gross was $11.5 million, low for a film that cost a reported $35 million to make. ‘Lions’ earned only slightly more last weekend than ‘Saw IV,’ the serial-killer bloodbath, which is in its fourth weekend.”

Maybe they are loosing their butt on these movies because America does not want to see anti American propaganda coming from leftist wackos. You say there is apathy in America over the war because two thirds of America are against the war but they are not coming out to see this slime. Your problem is that like most on the Left you are out of touch with the American people. Most Americans were against the way the war was being fought. They did not want us to cut and run like the Left does and they do not want our military to be demonized by the Left in films. They also go to the movies to see entertainment not crappie unentertainingly propaganda films.

FOXNews.com - America Has Failed Our Veterans - FOX Fan: “We gave $10 billion to Pakistan since 9/1, we have spent hundreds of billions of dollars — that’s hundreds of billions in Iraq — you would think a few billion could be set aside for the men and women making it all possible. A few billion to ensure that this nation does what it promised and takes care of those who have taken care of us. For my disconnected, disinterested uncaring friends, it’s not about the damn money. We have the damn money, it’s us, we suck, we do not care. We do photo ops with soldiers standing behind us, we walk in parades and shake hands on the appropriate holidays. Some of us wear flags in our lapels, but we are all collectively allowing out government to perpetuate this crime, the crime of not taking care of soldiers. We need a revolution of care and competence, we need a political action committee, we need something powerful outside the government to make this government keep its sacred promise to our soldiers. I am telling you — we have lost our way. I am hoping it’s not too late.”

Just throw money at poor men and women in order to get them to sign up for foreign wars. Then be miserly toward their needs when they come back in pieces. We could call them our disposable soldiers.

Opposing view: Iranian bomb ‘intolerable’ - Opinion - USATODAY.com: “The dangers an Iranian bomb would present are intolerable. Iran is the pre-eminent sponsor of terrorism. Iranian weapons are responsible for a large share of U.S. casualties in Iraq. Our forces in Afghanistan have intercepted Iranian arms shipments to the Taliban. Argentina has indicted Iranian officials for blowing up a Buenos Aires Jewish center. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said Tehran was behind Hamas‘ armed takeover of Gaza. Iran provides haven to fugitive leaders of al-Qaeda. The list goes on. A nuclear attack by terrorists would be almost impossible to deter. Against whom would we threaten retaliation? “

Cuba? Rhode Island?

Caroline B. Glick: How can Washington and Jerusalem be so irresponsible?: “AND SO we return to Iran’s nuclear bomb program, which like the Syrian and Iraqi programs, is partially hidden from view, but which the pro-Iranian IAEA claims is years away from completion. And we return to the US and Israel acting as though it is possible to live with a nuclear-armed Iran. We look at all of this, and we ask: How can Washington and Jerusalem be so irresponsible? We look at Olmert’s reported willingness to countenance a nuclear-armed Iran, and we wonder, how can he try to wish away an impending threat of nuclear annihilation? “

The only answer is that these are delusional people or they are leaders who have been thoroughly cowered into appeasement. They will do anything to secure a temporary facade of peace while they allow the future of the world to become endangered. If they take no action now, nuclear warfare in the Middle East is assured in the future.

Pakistan’s Collapse, Our Problem - New York Times: “AS the government of Pakistan totters, we must face a fact: the United States simply could not stand by as a nuclear-armed Pakistan descended into the abyss. Nor would it be strategically prudent to withdraw our forces from an improving situation in Iraq to cope with a deteriorating one in Pakistan. We need to think — now — about our feasible military options in Pakistan, should it really come to that.

WorldNetDaily: Palestinians ‘prefer killing Jews to having a state’: “When it came to my turn, I asked Steyn, ‘What is behind Condi Rice’s obsession with a Palestinian state? And, since Iraq has been at war with Israel since 1948, shouldn’t the new democratic government in Baghdad announce that the war is over and that Iraq recognizes Israel’s right to exist?’ Concerning Condi Rice, he replied that she was ‘delusional.‘ He said that the Palestinians could have had a state after the Oslo accords had they really wanted one. ‘But they preferred killing Jews to having a state.’ And he feared, judging from what was coming out of Hamas in Gaza, that the Palestinians still preferred killing Jews to having a state, because in order to have a state they would have to agree to stop killing Jews. As for Iraq declaring an end to its five-decade war with Israel, Steyn believes that the U.S. should have persuaded the new government to do that two years ago when it had greater leverage.”

Reid Threatens Funds for Iraq War: “WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Tuesday that Democrats won’t approve more money for the Iraq war this year unless President Bush agrees to begin bringing troops home. By the end of the week, the House and Senate planned to vote on a $50 billion measure for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The bill would require Bush to initiate troop withdrawals immediately with the goal of ending combat by December 2008. If Bush vetoes the bill, ‘then the president won’t get his $50 billion,’ Reid, D-Nev., told reporters at a Capitol Hill news conference. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., made a similar statement last week in a closed-door caucus meeting. “

I think it is time for the Democrats to replace their leadership in the House and the Senate. These two “leaders” are not rational and they are going to get our troops killed. When the war has turned for the better they want to try to display our success to the world as a failure. If one person gets killed as a result of their insane policy not to fund the successful completion of this war these people and all who vote with them should be held totally accountable.

Caroline B. Glick: America’s strategies for victory — and defeat: “Two conclusions can be drawn from contrasting America’s victory in Iraq with its failures in so many other theaters. First, the only way to successfully fight your enemies is to fight them. And second, basing policies on pretending to deter leaders who are not deterred is a recipe for failure. Until the Americans accept these lessons, Iraq aside, the international environment will grow ever more threatening. “

She is correct, American foreign policy with Muslim nations has been a disaster ever since Jimmy Carter.

Iran Chemical, Bio Weapons Threat Is Real - Newsmax.com: “The threat of chemical and biological retaliatory attack by Iran is very real,” Dr. Dany Shoham, a chemical and biological weapons expert at the Begin Sadat Center for Strategic Studies in Israel, tells Newsmax. “Iran is prone to dare what Iraq did not, and has the needed operational capabilities.” In response to a U.S. or Israeli attack, analysts maintain that Iran could strike U.S. forces in Iraq with artillery shells containing CBWs. Iran’s Shahab-3 missiles, with a range of up to 1,200 miles, could hit U.S. bases as far away as Oman, as well as Israeli targets in Haifa and Tel Aviv, experts say. In addition to aerial bombardment, the Iranians could spray CBWs — including anthrax — from unmanned aerial vehicles, helicopters or boats. Iran could also employ suicide attackers to drive trucks filled with CBWs into target areas, experts add. Military experts also fear that Iran’s retaliation might not be limited to the Middle East. CBWs – especially biological weapons, which take up little space – could even be smuggled into the U.S. “

I hope they realize that if they used chemical and biological weapons against Israel that Israel and the US would respond with nukes and that much of their military would be vaporized. After that, if there was not an internal revolution in Iran, NATO would invade and take over the country.

Saudi Arabia is hub of world terror - Times Online: “wealthy Saudis remain the chief financiers of worldwide terror networks. “If I could somehow snap my fingers and cut off the funding from one country, it would be Saudi Arabia,” said Stuart Levey, the US Treasury official in charge of tracking terror financing. Extremist clerics provide a stream of recruits to some of the world’s nastiest trouble spots. An analysis by NBC News suggested that the Saudis make up 55% of foreign fighters in Iraq. They are also among the most uncompromising and militant. “

“School textbooks still teach the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a notorious antiSemitic forgery, and preach hatred towards Christians, Jews and other religions, including Shi’ite Muslims, who are considered heretics.
Ali al-Ahmed, director of the Washington-based Institute for Gulf Affairs, said: “The Saudi education system has over 5m children using these books. If only one in 1,000 take these teachings to heart and seek to act on them violently, there will be 5,000 terrorists.””

“In frustration, Arlen Specter, the Republican senator for Pennsylvania, introduced the Saudi Arabia Accountability Act 10 days ago, calling for strong encouragement of the Saudi government to “end its support for institutions that fund, train, incite, encourage or in any other way aid and abet terrorism”.
The act, however, is expected to die when it reaches the Senate foreign relations committee: the Bush administration is counting on Saudi Arabia to help stabilise Iraq, curtail Iran’s nuclear and regional ambitions and give a push to the Israeli and Palestinian peace process at a conference due to be held this month in Annapolis, Maryland.
“Do we really want to take on the Saudis at the moment?” asks Bronson. “We’ve got enough problems as it is.”

We deal with the soldiers coming out of the nest but we won’t kill the queen. We got terrorist problems because we are not dealing with the root of the problem.
