Did you know that the Saudis have 1 trillion dollars in our banks & if they ever decided to remove it our economy would be shattered. Call it what you want, but I call it extortion. |
Regardless of the accuracy of this figure and w/out regard to the uniformity of these investments (i.e. assume "the Saudis" will w/draw or keep their investments as a unit and not act independently of each other) - Is it your contention that the Saudis are actually contemplating w/drawing these sums? Or are threatening to do so if we do not act in their interest? If so, what effect do you expect the election of Kerry to have? Will he a) continue to act under the threat of w/drawal? or b) refuse to do so and have the Saudis w/draw the funds, thus "shattering" the US economy?
As for the additional expenses, Kerry has promised to send an additional 40,000 men to Iraq. Hmmm, pay more to build infrastructure - Send more americans to be killed. Tough choice.
