Jveritas, weren't you insisting that if the ports deal didn't go through that the Emir in a hissy fit would close the spigots and all of OPEC would join in in sympathy ?

I definitely said that if Congress blocks the Dubai Ports deal the UAE will retaliate by not allowing our Navy to use their ports and I said OPEC "MAY" cut oil production by one million barrel. I think we need to wait and see what will happen regarding the UAE reaction and I hope they do not do as I think. I rather prefer to be very wrong in my analysis here than hurt our nation or our military.

This OPEC decision came yesterday before the blocking by Congress of the Dubai Ports Deal and certainly before Dubai Ports decided today to sell it terminal management in the US ports to an American firm.
