Where's all that oil money going?

Not just to fund terrorists in Iraq and elsewhere (though that undoubtedly is still the prime destination for the money). No, it also goes to buy stuff like this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/12/AR2007111200802.html.

In case you're wondering why the Saudi Prince's name sounds so familiar, he's the guy who offered the former Mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani, $10 million to help with the "rebuilding" after 9/11, though he added as a precondition that the U.S. had to "re-examine" its policies in the Middle East. Giuliani, in not so many words, told him what he could with his "gift".
