On Sept. 4, Saudi
National Security Adviser Prince Turki Al Faisal said any U.S. campaign to
become independent of Saudi Arabia and other suppliers would be harmful. The leading member of the Saudi royal family said Washington could not
break free of its dependence on Middle East crude oil.<P>
    "There is no technology on the horizon which can replace oil to satisfy
colossal needs of U.S. industry, transport and armed forces," Turki wrote in
an analysis that was published by Italy's Il Sole 24 Ore.
