To be honest, I didn’t think they had it in ‘em. I really thought they had joined the rest of the crew bent on shooting themselves in the feet.

If the rest don’t manage to get it, I guess the Saudis will be feeding them and clothing them, because eventually, the rest of us will stop. I’m impressed. I really thought there had been too much inbreeding. I relieved to finally be disappointed by my assessment.

The Saudi oil guys have got a very finely-tuned sense of self interest. I wonder what's really afoot there.... perhaps a bit of quiet pressure from Western governments? Or, perhaps, bribes?

Or perhaps they want the price to go down for a different reason: it limits Iran's income, and Iran has a definite interest in destabilizing the Saudi government. (For that matter, so might Chavez....)

At any rate, I don't think we can take any action of theirs at face value.
