Patriot, find out what you can about the Saudi Royal Family and the U.S.'s relationship with them. You'll see why they hate us.

I'll tell you what, when Prince Sultan takes over there's gonna be no relationship. The US forces there will leave with in 24 hrs.

I dissagree. The forces MAY have to leave, but there is not way that the relationship between our country and theirs will be destroyed, unless something incredible happens. The Saudis can not break their ties with us because they are too dependant on our purchasing of their oil. Even if he did break our alliance by some act of extreme stupidity, he be without his largest source of income, and leading a broke nation.

I didn't say that clearly enough, if he takes over we're leaving on our own, not him telling us to go. Trust me he does not want us in that country, and if he's in charge we're not gonna be there.

Why would we leave? What threat does he pose to the U.S? I'm not arguing, I'm genuinly curious about this.

The threat is to our troops at Prince Sultan Air Base, not to the mainland US. Well he could support terrorism in some way, but I doubt he'd go that far.

At any rate, we share the base with them. Basically we're a smaller base on thier base. We just share thier flight line. So basically if he wanted to he could over run our part of the base. The reason we would leave is because he disagrees with his fathers support of the US, not only does he disagree but he hates the fact the "infadel" is on his land. This is one of the reasons Osama hates us so much. True Saudi's are a strange bunch.
