So exactly what percentage of total world oil supplies would be controlled by Monkeyboy's buddies, aka the House of Saud?

Next you will see this idea jumped on by the Chimp In Charge as a way to "win the war."

   There has to be some especially nasty Colonel in the Iraqi Army by now.  Maybe we should just give 'em a replacement for Saddam who understands how to play ball.

They shoulda dusted off Saddams lapels, said sorry, we misspelled it on the orders, you go on about your business but, since we are in the neighborhood, seems like these documents had a funny  squiggly line that was misread and it said  Iran, but we cant understand what you towlies  scribble anyway, so can we use you for a base, and visit your neighbor?

but that avenue is lost, but there we would have been at least in the right coordinates on the war on terror.

Makes sense.  The Saudis signed the agreement to only sell oil for US dollars, which props up our economy.

The House of Saud has had it pointed out to them that reneging on that agreement has relatively dire consequences for their continued rule.

Great! Bush and his henchmen have just about managed to start up a new cold war in an effort to corner the oil market.
