Once upon a time, when oil was $11 a barrel, Osama bin Laden said he wanted to get US troops out of Saudi Arabia, and he wished for oil to be $144 a barrel: One month after 9/11, the New York Times wrote of possible ‘nightmare’ scenarios that would deliver bin Laden’s goal. Neela Banerjee warned that among the ‘misguided decisions’ that would put oil supplies at risk would be ‘that the United States attacks Iraq.’” Oh, and after 9/11, Bush pulled the troops out of Saudi Arabia. Maybe Osama has died laughing by now.
