WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The State Department is expected to order all nonessential personnel serving in the U.S. Embassy and consulates in Saudi Arabia and their families out of the country in the coming days, a senior State Department official said Thursday.

Said that months/years ago.
It's the FINAL straw dudes. Everybody and their third cousin for the past 30 years fought each other tooth and nail to get a job in Saudi Arabia. You made friends and money by default.
It's a sign that things have broken down in a major way. Yet not all is lost. The Saudis are honorable people and very generous but they also don't tolerate double-dealing backstabbing bullshit either. They 'may' have found out something they feel isn't being addressed and told the present administration to fuck off.
It could be the other way around. Or a combination of the two. Regardless, this is a sign we should all be on our toes for some big-ass world changes and we should make sure we are on top of things 24-7. With the addition of delaying U.S. troop home returns and the unusual activity domestic in the filing division I'ld say a good bet a draft will be enforced if Bush is re-elected which he will be.
There's no doubt about that.
Too bad Star Wars III won't be released til next summer. We'd like to see how this all came out.
