Bush ties to Saudi Arabia

How well can his apparent hypocrisy in fighting terror and his treatment of Saudi Arabia be exploited in the election.

The latest news has France, Germany and Russia being cut out of the economic pie in Iraq, Yet the Saudi's are able to participate.

1. How come nobody's playing the Saudi Card?

I have no idea, my guess is it's "the Whopper", it's the "Trump Card", it's the "Go to Jail", it's the "Coup de Grace". Maybe they'll let Michael Moore tell everybody about it next year with Fahrenheit 911, which I hear is going to be all about this. If it were me, and I up against the BFEE, I would have started in on this months ago. Has even Kucinich tread on the issue of Saudi/Bush closeness?

3. There is sooooooo much hypocrisy to expose with the Saudis

His treatment of Saudi Arabia seems to fly in the face of all his statements of policy reguarding the war on terror.

most recently....
We punish France for allowing economic ties to influence their treatment of Iraq...

yet our ties to the Saudis leads Bush to ignore the fact that their ties to terror seems to be the strongest in the region.

4. Aren't the Saudis owed more from Iraq than France, Germany,

and Russia (are owed) combined?
