 Saudi
Arabia's Oil Reserves
By
Dr. Sadad Al-Husseini
"Recent
media reports have suggested Saudi
Arabia may not be able to supply its
share of the world oil demand for the
near future. 'Experts' have argued in
major U.S. papers and at energy forums
that not only are the Kingdom's
petroleum reserves overstated but also
that the Kingdom has rejected
necessary foreign investments in its
energy sector and that poor production
practices have damaged its
oilfields.."

 Fatal
Friendship
Our
ill-conceived vendetta against
the Saudis
By Patrick J. Buchanan
"From
the time FDR met with King Ibn
Saud aboard the U.S.S.
Quincy in the Suez Canal,
on the way home from Yalta,
the Saudis have lined up with
us. When Moscow armed Nasser
in Egypt and Syria and Iraq
during the Cold War, Saudi
Arabia remained steadfastly
pro-American.."

"Let
me see if I got this right... the 9/11
commission concluded there was no
"foul play" involved in the
air travel of Saudis out of the US
after 9/11.. that there were no
'suspects' in the group, that the FBI
was satisfied, etc. etc. And there
were still Saudi bashers in Congress
and the media who were desperately
trying to paint this event as
something it was not.
"So I'm sure that today's (RE)acknowledgement
by Richard Clarke that he (as a member
of the NSC staff) authorized the
flight, will probably NOT satisfy
those who are determined to villanize
anything and anybody to do with Saudi
Arabia."

 American
Oil Diplomacy in the Persian Gulf and
the Caspian Sea
By Gawdat
Bahgat
Book
Description
The United States is the world's
largest oil consumer and importer.
Here Gawdat Bahgat examines the
nation's growing dependence on fossil
fuels -- particularly oil -- and the
main challenges it faces in securing
supplies from two energy-rich regions,
the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea.
He argues that long-term U.S. energy
strategy must be built on diversity of
both the fuel mix and the geographic
origin of that fuel. It should include
a broad combination of measures that
would stimulate domestic production,
provide incentives for conservation,
promote clean technologies, and
eliminate political barriers to world
markets.

 Secretary
Rumsfeld's Town Hall Meeting at Prince
Sultan Air Base
April
29, 2003
[The
following is an excerpt from Secretary
Rumsfeld's remarks.]
Donald
Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense:
The question is about the U.S.
presence in the region and we're in the
process, General Franks and I have been
talking about our arrangements in his
Central Command. We're also
looking at our arrangements in Europe
and in Asia as well and attempting to
refashion it and rebalance those
arrangements so that we're organized for
the future. Needless to say the
Saudis here have been enormously
hospitable to us. It's been
wonderful. It's been, as you say,
12 years with Operation Southern Watch.
Now
that the Iraqi regime has changed, we're
able to discontinue Operation Northern
Watch and Operation Southern Watch and
those forces will be able to be moved to
other assignments and other requirements
around the world.
We
do intend to maintain a continuing and
healthy relationship with the Saudis. We
look forward to exercises and training
and working with them on their military.
But we will have the opportunity to move
some forces out because of the change
and the end of operations -- the
successful end, I should say, of
Operation Southern Watch.
