Little thing? The President of the United States of America made a special trip over to Saudi Arabia to specifically ask for more oil production.
That is NO small thing. It is about the leader of the free world going hat-in-hand to appeal for more oil from a backward barbarous intolerant monarchy that promotes, teaches, and finances the concept of Sharia Law around the world. You need to get some real-life perspective and maybe read a little more.
I am embarrassed that my CIC did this. He should be too since it was to little avail. The 300,000 barrels a day increase was before Bush arrived - May 10. After walking along while holding hands with King Abdullah, Bush was rebuffed about any further increase in production. Bush said how glad he was that the Saudis made that little increase.
300,000 that the Saudis increased before Bush's begging tour is nothing in the global market and will have no impact on crude prices nor the cost at your pump. But yet, our President went over there and did smiley face and held the King's hand as Bush was told they would not increase production further. A waste of time and a embarrassment to the West.
Yes, Bush got punked.
You are a disgrace.
