WASHINGTON -- The United States has raised the prospect of a military invasion of Saudi Arabia.

The response could include the deployment of three U.S. Army divisions backed by fighter-jets and airborne early-warning and alert aircraft. In all, the U.S.-led mission could include up to 300,000 troops.

The House Armed Services Committee was briefed on the prospect of a Saudi coup and U.S. response during a hearing on Oct. 26. The scenario was outlined by Michael O'Hanlon, a senior fellow of the Brookings Institution, who cited a Saudi coup as one of several threats to the United States.

"How should the United States respond if a coup, presumably fundamentalist in nature, overthrows the royal family in Saudi Arabia?" O'Hanlon asked. "Such a result would raise the specter of major disruption to the oil economy."

3. Oh, yeah, like he "helped" Chalabi and the INC?

Shrub's "help" usually ends up hurting all involved.

6. Is it not true that King Fahd's offspring are not enamored with the USA?

If that is true, then it would not be atypical for the idea of invading S.A. to be bandied about. (And S.A. does not mean "Super America")

4. This is a RW Zionist website

It is run by Steve Rodan, a shill for the Mossad, whose main contribution was to write articles that hurt Jonathan Pollard's efforts to obtain a pardon. Pollard knows too much and some politicians in Israel do not want him to get out of prison.

5. A fascinating development. However, is the source RELIABLE?

And if it is, and should this big invasion occur (which I DOUBT), say "bye bye" to the economy - and it's obvious our economy is being propped up by those in power because they are not ready for the inevitable crash.
