The Saudis snubbed Bush's call to up oil output so as to bring down oil prices. I guess the $audis knew that they were dealing with an outgoing US Pres. and therefore no hiew him. Those arabs are laughing all the way to the banks i.e. until the next US Pres. is elected. They need the US to defend their oil fields and yet are so greedy for oil $$$$$........ Brace yourselves for more increases at the pumps........ $3 per litre very possible at this rate.
