Wrapping it Up – The Saudis, The Bushs & The Baath Party
We're at war in Iraq for one reason, to bust up the Baath Party for the Saudis who hadn't the brass to do it themselves. (See post Jan 18, “Mission Accomplished”) The Saudis are now in negotiations with the Syrians to form a new Pan-Arab league with themselves the Saudis- on top. Saddam is dead. Assad the Elder is dead. GW Bush can go home and watch re-runs of “Lawrence of Arabia” over and over. The Christian Right can wallow in the glow of a successful 6th Crusade, dead bodies and all. And they didn't even know what they were in on.
