The US commission on 9/11 determined that the $800,000 needed to conduct the attach came from Al Qaeda which got the money from several benefactors in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Including some "senor member's of the Saudi royal family"
I would ask... Other then the sale of oil... How did the Saudi's get the money?

Most of this is correct; the price of oil is indeed a national security issue.
If the elader of Iran can say he wants to wipe Israel off the map, that means his beloved oil will rise more per barrel, thus yielding him more profit$!
If GWB can counter taht by saying, "We're gonna nuke those Iranians," that means the price of oil will go up even further, yielding GWB's oil friends more profit$!
Both have happened. Both have benefitted tremendously. We, however, have been raped.
With the increase in oil profits for our enemies in the middle-east, their will be the commensurate increase in the procurement of weapons by these enemies to be used against us. For this reason, the price of oil turns into a national security issue.
