Makes you wonder whether 911 was an attempt to destroy us before we destroyed them economically.

Oh, and by the way...

[Jack Hammer]

Screw the Saudis - they’re no friends of ours.

They financed 9/11 and smiled in our faces as Americans died.

My favorite oil grue said, over a year ago that SA’s true cost of production was near $100 because of their welfare state.

[PLMerite]

I can only imagine the fun when *their* welfare leeches get uppity.

If Hillary gets in the will find a way to tie Fracking to ground water pollution. Which is bunk, but it will give the EPA the power to essentially shut us down.

On another note, I work in the Eagle Ford and everyone has cut their pricing drastically. We have seen a little uptick in the amount of work we have been doing and the conan I work for is hiring. Some of it may be because oil hovered around $50 for a while and the work may slow down now that it has fallen back to the low $40’s, but talking to some of the other service companies on location a number of them are hiring. The money isn’t as good as it was, but it is still good honest work.

And yet they can finance this: http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3456307/posts [World’s largest hotel with 10,000 rooms, 70 restaurants to open in Mecca by 2017]

The Saudi people need to realize that, despite the success of US ingenuity in reducing the price of oil, there would still be enough for them, had not the Royal Family been ripping them off for decades!

Their best bet is, kill the Royal Family, kill the Religious Police, optionally adopt Christianity, and start over.

Round about time for the Saudis to go back to camel riding and sheep herding.

Fantastic! The first thing we should have done after 9/11 is focus on North American energy (hope Trump okays the Keystone pipeline, btw).

It would bring jobs to both countries and would be a source of “ethical oil”, as Ezra Levant says.

Stop depending on ME oil! Dry up money to fund terrorism!

Plus being pro-fracking would be a winning issue in Pennsylvania.

[wideminded]

The most insane being that fracking causes earthquakes. It doesn’t.

The speaker in that talk admitted that earthquakes are sometimes triggered by the underground injection of drilling fluids.

So it's not that actual fracking that is causing the noticeable increase in earthquakes in some areas. But when leftover drilling fluids and salt water from fracking operations or other types of oil and gas drilling are injected underground, that can trigger earthquakes.

The world wide political status quo where arab oil money buys Western politicians is deeply disturbed by American exceptionalism again.

Quoting the late, great writer Dan Jenkins, “Better learn to pan fry them cobras Abdul”.

Shale Production Has Reduced Energy Prices To Levels Where Saudi Arabia Can't Fund Its Welfare State
Oh dear, what a shame!

But I'm sure that's why Obama and Merkel are desparate to flood the West with their foot-soldiers before Saudi Arabia implodes.

[Rumplemeyer]

Wonderful news.

[onona]

Per the headline: GOOD !

eff the Sauds. They need to dry up and blow away back to their nomadic life wandering around the desert

[Vision Thing]

Team Globule (my name for the globalists) is deeply saddened.

Maybe they should sell some of their gold toilets.

[ballplayer]

Good maybe they will ask Hillary to give the money back they gave to the Clinton family crime foundation
