Some of this might go a bit over the line into the realm of nastiness. On the other hand, nothing he’s saying here about the Saudis and their funding of terrorism and the spreading of Wahhabi ideology that serves a foundation for groups like Al Qaeda is untrue.

Nor is what he says about the Saudi attempts to strangle free speech around the world. That’s true, too.

The one thing which isn’t true in Condell’s speech is that we don’t need to replace oil. We have as much oil available in North America as the Middle East does. We just need to access it. When we do, we can impose the same effect on the Saudis as if we replaced oil.
