I just opened the article and will go to read because I am interested but I just wanted to say Saudi Arabia really gets us coming and going.

Complicit in 9/11 and a million other terror attacks.

Content to flood oil market and slam prices.

and in bed with generations of president since Bush I.

what a shame

Content to flood oil market and slam prices.

Doesn't the US produce more oil than SA?

[Secret Agent Man]

get extra gas now while its inexpensive and indecent supply. and stabil.

[babble-on]

SO your view is that low oil prices are terrible for the United States in general. What a complete moron you are.

[Vince Ferrer]

It is too bad that a lot of great American innovators will be hurt, but there is a limit as to how much this benefits Saudi Arabia. The low prices are too low for SA as well. They need to keep the oil money coming in because like most other oil producers, they use the nationalized oil industry to buy favors and keep themselves in power. They can't cut social spending without risking civil unrest. So right now they are drawing down their foreign cash reserves and soveriegn wealth funds. They are currently burning through cash at a furious rate. They even sold bonds for the first time this year.

To make matters worse they are using what money they have to buy a lot of weapons for an upcoming war with Iran. This war, which seems to be almost inevitable now that Iran is being allowed to make nuclear weapons, will be devastating to the middle east. Saudi Arabia may not survive. It will at least be bankrupted. Sit tight and be patient, their end is near.

The people you are so willing to have taxpayers subsidize, were the ones grinning ear to ear over $4.50 per gallon gas prices, no matter how much it hurt those on the bottom. They responded to a market demand, assuming the market would not change.

Who guaranteed them the market would no change? The taxpayers have enough of a problem paying peanut farmers billions this year because there are more peanuts being grown than anyone knows what to do with.

I like low gas prices because it allows people to so more with their income and their lives. I don’t like taxing them the difference just to enrich others in the Shale Oil business. No matter how many times you say “George Bush”. Btw so you realize what that makes you sound like?

you have no citation for Saudi complicity in the 9/11

it is well known the 19 Saudi’s were acting on behalf of Usama bin Ladin
