Let her go to them, then. She has no problem going over to negotiate with the Syria, sureky, she can convince the Saudi’s to increase production.
I canot wait for the day when we finaly wake up as a country and become self-sufficient in enrgy production, whatever the source. I can’t wait for the day when we can tell the collective Middle East to pound sand..and their oil.
By that time Saudi Arabia may be making more from worldwide non-oil investments than from oil.
I suspect that we have an interesting “play” going on currently. All of the “experts” in oil that Saudi employs...are either British or American...and it is to their advantage to say 100 percent is being pursued and 100 percent is being pumped. The Saudis likely believe that statement entirely, and merely passed that along to Bush.
When you look at the profit line of every single oil company..its way above what it was four years ago. They’ve grasped the entire game of pricing and how to play the OPEC card to the max. Everyone is getting rich off the oil...so why not continue playing this game....even at $200 a barrel.
Let’s see. The Saudis refused to lower oil prices when Bush talked with them. The Syrians decided to support Hezbolah’s coup against the Lebanese government after speaking with Pelosi. Who should be complaining about failure here?
