RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - The White House said Friday that Saudi Arabia's leaders are making clear they see no reason to increase oil production until customers demand it.
President Bush was in the oil-rich country to appeal to King Abdullah for greater production to help halt rising gas prices in the United States.
But his national security adviser, Stephen Hadley, said Saudi officials stuck to their position that they already are meeting demand.

Why do we count them as allies? Remind me. Nevermind...
Time to cut Saudis off!! Let them defend themselves with whatever weapons they make there; sticks and stones! Al Qaeda wants them destroyed as much as the West. In other words, up theres!
Demand is being met.
The problem is not any of the usual causes mentioned. The True Cause is ignored or ridiculed.
We Freepers and fellow conservatives will be far better able to sustain and prosper while our national policies have allowed petroleum prices to skyrocket, G-d willing.
Just DOO!
Drill Our Own.
I am sick and tired of watching our President crawl on his belly before these degenerate despots, wailing and begging for a few drops more of their oil. Reminds me of the craven junkie, out of money for having pawned his mother’s jewels and silverware, begging his pusher for “just one more fix.”
It’s disgusting, absolutely disgusting!!!!!!
someone farted.....oil went up....we are screwed and at the mercy of all big corporations...gov’t is in all the big companies backpockets making thier money so they do not need to worry about the lowly citizens....simple as that....things will not change until the people stand up and take back thier country....AGAIN.....
we took out Saddam, and they can handle Al Qaeda on their own IMO. They can buy an army in a week with their cash.
Gee, not even a reach around...where's the love?
why should Saudia Arabia increase production to satisfy demand in this country when we do not even utilize our exploration and production capability\capacity. Until we start exploring and drilling for oil in this country (ANWR and offshore among other locations) why should the Saudis or any other oil producing country “over produce” which would in turn drive their profits down. Maybe OsamaObama, pelosi and reid can get Iran or Veneauela to increase prodctuion of this fungible resource in order to drive prices down, their anxious to talk with them, this gives them something to talk about.
Where would one go to buy a fully equipped and trained army? Syria, Iran, China, Russia?
Uh, wasn't that exactly what Bush was doing?
Why should they pump more for us when we refuse to do it for ourselves?
The President knows the oil price is not supply and demand related. There is enough oil. It’s a dollar value issue.
The begging in Saudi Arabia is a diversion to keep the rubes back at home fooled.
(Pssst, don’t tell anybody, but the dollar is being devalued.)
And the sad thing is all three of the idiots that we have running for POTUS will do nothing towards increasing our own domestic production.
“we can’t lower the oil prices, but where do you plan on building your library again?”
“W”, how ‘bout we worry about OUR oil production.
The idea was kicked around back in - ready for this? - the 70s.
We published a paper on the concept and execution for such a plan.
All that was needed was a strategic reason to do so, and now that oil is considered a strategic part of US defense, we have it.
Want 33 cent gas?
