bin Laden claims that all of the attacks are done to get us out of Saudi

If they asked us to leave, I guess that we'd be beholden to leave. The
violence wouldn't stop, however, until the Jews were also expelled from
Israel...and that will never happen.

Uh, we have left Saudi Arabia. GWB, tough talk, weak stick. Can you say
appeasement?

Depends on which "we" you refer to. Saudi Arabia is our single largest
customer for weapons. People Who Know These Things estimate that every time
you fill your gas tank, a buck comes back to this country to pay an invoice
(so to speak) for a fighter jet. Human interest detail: Another buck keeps
the Saud men neck deep in prostitutes & booze.
