Saudi Arabia & Lybia - A crisis?

Some of you may have already heard the allegations that Libya was plotting to assassinate a Saudi Arabian Prince. If this gets any worse, what do you think will happen? If the allegations are true do you Saudi Arabia will react and go to war or will this all get downplayed....

*Edit*

Saudi Arabia is a signatory to the non-proliferation treaties.

Libya has a known nuclear weapons program.

if everything goes according to plan, gas prices++

I think the heat in that region drives everyone crazy.

Think about it:
Hot as fuck place in Mexico - They make alcoholic beverages and have fun
Hot as fuck place in the Middle East - They stockpile weapons and go to war with anyone

You can blame religion on that one. /rant

JIHAD!!!!!

Do you think that if ANYONE was planning on assassinating ANYONE with this high of a profile, we would be hearing about it before it happened?

or maybe he isnt the real target

i would make a nice long post about this.... but i dont want to end the thread (seems every time i make a long thought out post it basicaly ends the thread....)

Anyways, Saudi's military doesnt scare anyone. As much of an outcast country as libya is, they will not get very much support.. especally when were talking a major oil producing nation vs a nominal opn. If saudi declares war on Libya, they will ask for Nato help... and guess who just happens to have a major military presence in the mideast at the moment who would have no choice other than to back up a nation claimed as an alli?


Put it this way.. if Bush's team does not step in and put an end to this squabble, or atleast make a damn good ATTEMPT to put an end to it, then we can offically say that we have the most bungaling presidental team since the carter administration... and that may even be a compliment (to carter...). The only military (other than Libya's) that would probably suffer any casualties in this war would be ours.... and honestly, we cant afford it with the amount of money we already have invested in the region.. right now, if bush doesnt step in and DO HIS FUCKING JOB since we currently do occupy a territory in the region, then he's basicallly just dooming the economy for a few years.. and with saudi at "declared" war gas prices will go WAAAAAAAAY up for a while... 4 dollars a gallon anyone?

Ok this is what I mean.

Bomb goes off in Berlin disco where US servicemen go from time to time.
Reagan launches the largest tactical air strike ever.


Bombs go off in 2 US embassys in Africa, USS Cole is bombed, WTC is bombed.

President Clinton launches tomahawk cruise missles at probable targets (caves) in afghanistan. We shoulda had men over there well before Sept. 11th

It should also be noted that the French Embassy in Tripoli and several of the neighboring residential buildings also were bombed inadvertently during the raid; they were not targeted.

During the evening of 14 April, 28 Eighth Air Force KC-135s and KC-10s left the Royal Air Force (RAF) bases at Fairford and Mildenhall, England, to meet up with 24 F-111s from RAF Lakenheath. For this mission to Libya, the Eighth Air Force's tankers refueled the strike force four times under conditions of radio silence. On their return, the F-111s needed two more refuelings to get back to England. The mission took 14 hours to cover 5,500 miles nautical miles because France and Spain would not allow the formation to fly over their territory. Eighth Air Force's refueling support made the longest mission ever accomplished by tactical aircraft a success.

Yeah LOL @ the embassy bombing. I heard that Reagan actually told the French ambassador that he was sorry but the error was due to pilot fatigue from flying so long... ie... not over french airspace...

Hey speaking of accidental embassy bombings, anyone remember awhile back it seemed that it was always happening to Chinese Embassys?

I have one word that sums up a present that I would like to send to the entire region of troublemaking bastards: NUKES!
