Gee, not even a reach around...where's the love?
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.....
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.
Uh, wasn't that exactly what Bush was doing?
Why should they pump more for us when we refuse to do it for ourselves?
“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?
OPEC is keeping the supply at just what is needed even at a cost of $125 a barrel. If we had additional supplies here at home we would have a surplus in inventory and the prices would lower based on that inventory.
Until we drill for our own damn oil and bring to justice those that have brought us to our knees over this, nothing is going to change for the better.
Why should your drug dealer cut the price of your drugs once you’re hooked?
My opinion is somewhat different than those here. I think the rejection is a good thing, so Americans can see more clearly that unless we have our own oil (or alternative) resources soon, Americans will be held gas-price hostages by the Saudis/OPEC.
Until a cost-effective substitute is found and can be efficiently distributed, drill here now for the future. Build nukes where gas price complaining is rampant. Tell companies they have to let more employees work at home more often.
“Drilling is the failed energy policy of yesterday that has brought us record gas prices today.”
Several financial broker/dealers have told me that 30 to 40% of the current cost of a barrel of oil is the result of
actions by speculators and commodity traders.
So...why did he go to Saudi Arabia in the first place?
