Nukes, oil, and Bush's double standard

George W. Bush keeps shaking his fist at Iran. He keeps telling us that their nuclear program poses a serious threat, and that Iranians are now in Iraq fighting against U.S. soldiers and our allies.

But now he turns around and promises to give enriched uranium to Saudi Arabia.

Bush threatens Iran for aiding the Shia insurgents in Iraq, and he says that we don't negotiate with terrorists, but he overlooks the fact that most outside insurgents in Iraq actually come from Saudi Arabia.

I wonder if this double standard has anything to do with the fact that Saudi Arabia sits on the world's largest known oil reserves.

And I wonder if this double standard has anything to do with the fact that Saudi Arabia owns a big portion of the U.S. debt.
