do the Saudi's have a military? How do they protect themselves? Army? Air Force? Navy? Missles? Nukes? Or do they just throw money at any problem and let other countries do the fighting for them?

As for the answer to your questions, in order....

Yes, such as it is. The U.S. Army, Air Force, and Navy.

Yes, all of the above, courtesy of U.s.

(Some people like to think Bin Laden ran the U.S. out. Never happened. Leave all that oil? Not on your life!)

Yes, they throw a lot of money at a lot of problems and the U.S. does the fighting for them.

4. Looks like The Saudis Purchased 21,500 US Troops

I don't know how much they paid The Carlyle Group for 'em. Maybe Woodward will find out for us.
