Image via WikipediaYou may recall that last fall we sold hundreds of planes and helicopters plus missiles to our friends in Saudi Arabia. I suppose it was good for the economy. But the deal was more than selling arms, we also agreed “to protect the kingdom’s oil riches and future nuclear sites’’ with 35,000 of our troops, who would become another of our 'elite' forces. How much this would cost us is anybody's guess.

How much has the US military presence in Saudi Arabia already cost in lost lives? 2,752 on 9/11/2001 alone. It was, after all, the main reason for al Qaeda's 'war' against America - infidel troops permanently stationed in the holy land of Mecca.
