This won't be the first time. They were already working on joining military forces last year to protect an oil rich region on their borders that the US was trying to take over. Name of country not available to me, but I remember posting the article long ago.

Bush has set up the world chess board and stated HIS rules. Now everyone else gets to go to work on their strategy. With Chavez in Venezuela threatening to cut his oil imports to us and Saudi Arabia once threatening cutting theirs to us if we bombed Iran, well figure out how they could grind OUR country to a halt.

Then, if you take the other two superpowers who are becoming allies against us (hey, a lot of people don't like being bullied so they figure out ways to secure their position), I'd say we're headed in a weaker direction. However Bush, with his large as Texas thinking, and his just as wild Texas bravado may just decide to PUSH his position.
Then what?

Now this COULD be treasonous if you take me the wrong way. And if you really think so, well.......please take it to Flame.
