This is ludicrous, the lieing arabs damn well know that most of their regimes would topple if they ran such low prices...they can't afford it. Saudi Arabia...through the usual Arab mismanagement, is already running a deficit.

If SA runs a deficit, that means the Saudi family itself is way in debt. That's why their threats to cut off our oil are without teeth. I do hope that we continue to buy Russian oil...

Very true. Of course that might not stop them. I mean if they had half a brain, they wouldn't be in the pile of feces they're in now. So it may just happen.

The Saudis have misused their oil by making the profit a tool to propagate militant Islam and fund terrorism around the world. Forcing down the price of oil is a fair and just way of putting a stop to that.

I'd say we have the camel loving Arab pigs over a barrel. I'd love to see us bring down all the corrupt regimes in the middle east--with the term "corrupt" probably being a superfluous qualifier.

My take is that if it gets close to that, the Arabs will attack Israel and get their heads handed to them for the seventh time in a row.

Then they will start fighting amongst themselves and pretty soon there will be a whole bunch of tiny little sheikdoms, just like there were before westerners started putting together these Arab countries.

When the Arabs run out of oil, they will be stuck with nothing but millions of acres of kitty litter as their only asset.

They already spend money like a drunken sailor so their ultimate demise is already in the works.
