Closer to the truth of the matter, finally..Thank you, Corbin!
I would add it's not just about oil - what does selling GE to Saudi Arabia have to do with oil production and sales? We are being held hostage basically by a terrorist supporting regime, thanks to U.S. corporate greed, aided and abetted by the U.S. government - this administration hugely so, but also those previous. Therein grow the roots and consequences.

The Saudis have been key financiers of CAIR activities and projects for years. For example, the Weekly Standard reported in June 2003 that the construction of the Council’s Washington, D.C. headquarters was subsidized by a $250,000 grant from the Islamic Development Bank, an international financing organization based in Jeddah and run by a Saudi national, Dr. Ahmad Mohamed Ali.
American Libraries gratefully reported in February 2003 that Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal donated $500,000 to a CAIR project that aims to put Wahhabi Islamic reading materials in public libraries across the United States. Given the January 2005 Freedom House report that documented the placement by Saudi Arabia in American mosques of officially published and disseminated materials that are rabidly anti-semitic, anti-Christian and pro-jihadist, we would be foolish to view the CAIR/Saudi library initiative as a gift-horse.
Finally, no less a source than the Saudi Gazette declared in November 2002 that the World Association for Muslim Youth (WAMY) – a government-funded organization responsible for radical, Wahhabi proselytizing and recruitment – gave financial support for a 2002 CAIR weekly advertising campaign in American publications. This gift to CAIR alone was valued at $1.04 million.

Business as Usual:
Gabi Avital, a senior official at the Israel Air Force's Flight Academy and a lecturer at the Technion Institute in Haifa, observed today that "the United States of America is using all its might to put through one of the largest arms deals in its history, estimated at $20 billion. The deal includes advanced combat jets, smart bombs, computer systems and missile boats. Saudi Arabia is considered by the White House to be a "strategic ally."
Saudis Acquire
Major Supplier
To U.S. Military
The Middle East Newsline has uncovered an unusual Saudi Arabian business conflict of interest: It would seem that Saudi Arabia has quietly acquired a leading supplier to the U.S. military.
The state-owned Saudi Basic Industries Corp. has purchased GE Plastics from General Electric for $11.6 billion.
