Because the Saudis allowed oil prices to drop for a few months to take the limelight off of Sarah Palin’s “Drill Baby Drill.” Remember how high oil and gas was killing Americans? Bush lifted the ban on offshore drilling, etc...
If McPalin had won, the Saudis would have lost out to drilling in Alaska. They couldn’t let that happen. And we know how connected the messiah is to the Saudis
Just my opinion, of course.
Yes, Sarah ... but remember it was Michael Steele at the RNC who turned it into a soundbite:
Sarah refused Exxon a permit to build a ice road at Point Thompson so they could DRILL. Meanwhile price of gas here in Alaska jumped to $2.45 today. I would love to have kalifornia gas up here.
