  PUTTING THE SCREWS TO RALPH PETERS
  
  
  
  After reading ???Man on the Move: Confronting the global migration crisis,??? why is the New York Post continuing with Ralph Peters??? column?
  
  I say this because I don???t believe a word of what he writes.
  
  On May 5, in what I consider to be the biggest unreported story that the entire media missed, this high-ranking McCain campaign advisor wrote an op-ed column entitled ???Saudi Stick-up??? in which he states that the reason we???re paying such exorbitant gas prices is because the Saudi royal family is ???punishing??? America because President Bush defied their ???order??? to not invade Iraq.
  
  The problem with this thesis is that it completely contradicts Bob Woodward???s ???definitive account??? of the Bush/Saudi relationship in his Bush at War trilogy books. Woodward has it that the Bush White House and the Saudi royal family got along swimmingly and were 100 percent on the same page in their mutual quest to remove Saddam Hussein from power???with the Saudis even offering logistical and military support to get it done and later keeping the price of crude oil in check to help Bush???s re-election chances.
  
  Does Woodward???s account sound like the Saudi royal family is mad that President Bush defied their ???order??? to not invade Iraq?
  
  The question(s) that persists is why would a high-ranking McCain operative like Ralph Peters be advancing this bogus theory of why gas prices are so high? And why has the mainstream media completely missed this potential blockbuster story?
  
  Until Ralph Peters is confronted with these questions and offers contradictory proof that discredits Bob Woodward???s account, I won???t believe a word out of him.
  
  And I can???t believe anyone else would too.

  To those who doubt you, I offer these observations; The law prevents the president, the vice and the speaker from being in the same place at the same time except for Washington DC. One hour after JFK was killed a picture of Johnson being sworn in ,on air force one, shows the president in his coffin, the vice taking the oath, the cheif justice administering the oath and the speaker as a wittness. They could not have gotten to Dallas in the one hour for the ceremony. They were already there because they KNEW they were going to be needed. CHECK THE PICTURE WITH JACKIE IN THE BLOODSTAINED DRESS.Nuff said.

  What makes a person think of such a thing is " Wishful thinking". When you want something so bad that you taste it 24/7 and it appears to be eluding you, dark thoughts of " What If " becomes your mantra. Hilliary has had the taste in her mouth since 2000 and was so sure there was no threat that she failed to plan for competition , let alone , defeat. Her own sense of superiority ( elitism ) Will not let her concede. Here' s hoping the secret service does not let her realize her desires for Obama.
