King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, whose nation is the world's number one oil exporter, called on consumer countries to get used to high prices in comments published on Tuesday.
"Consumer countries have to adapt to the prices and the mechanisms of the market," the king said in an interview published by the Kuwaiti daily Al-Siyassah.

Death to Islam for Islam is death!
Well, it's hard to argue with what he says. He's merely saying the laws of supply/demand will determine the price of oil.....and coal and steel and bananas and apples and....
Adapt to this, D!ckhead....

I expect actions like those out of the enemies of our country. On the other hand I'm a little disappointed that the Saudis are going along with them.
Drill ANWR, d*** it!!! Then we won’t need the Saudi King’s advice to “Get used to it.”
Statement sure sounds like a rapist talking to the woman he’s assaulting.
wow
The silver lining is that we will begin the road and end up being energy independent... and out from under the thumbs of the oil producers.
We’ll get it figured out with our own coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, and reduced consumption. We’ve never really needed to - but w/ prices continuing unbounded - we need to now... but some stupid assclown pols haven’t gotten the message yet.
Well, he’s correct.
Cheap gasoline is not some inherent right.
** THANK YOU WASHINGTON, DC **
....for setting us up for this HOSE JOB (pun intended) by not allowing our own indenpendent energy supply expansion!!!
We will remember at the pump, and the voting booth.
Don’t be so mean. It’s hard to understand other people when you live in a house like that...all you hear is an echo. You westerners are so thoughtless.
We can't. The way out is through the manufacturing industry. I won't bother to go over the benefits of space industrialization and development. Coal to liquid and shale to oil are manufacturing processes, hugh investment, many years, but once done will be good for decades. Then I would suggest space development and continued research into nuclear fusion. Keep your debit card handy.
We need to create a food cartel!
No, I was referring to the “get used to it part” and not having a choice. There is a way out, but the Saudi King does not think so...he thinks he has us over the proverbial barrel.
My summer house looks like that.
And they won't, until it's too late, I'm afraid.

Nah...we’ll go on and continue to give away everything we’ve got to those who will spit on us AFTER they receive what we’ve got...The bleeding heart lib’s and the UN whores in this country are killing us slowly....
Hey man,
It’s his money he can do what ever he wants with it. Who are you to dictate how one spends THEIR money. They are in a business that has a high demand right now. It simple economics. If you don’t like it, go live in a una-bomber style shack in the woods.
