This is a delicate way of saying the oil speculators are driving up prices beyond the normal effects of supply and demand.

That makes alot of sense. But then why did Bush ask him to produce more?

All part of the media game. There has to be a logical explanation for the dollar inflation of oil future prices. Big Money owns DC and the MSM. So they bash the House of Saud and bash the Oil Executives, while the real culprits (big money speculators) go untouched.
