Since the US is protecting the Saudi's (that was the original agreement) And since they don't think they want to step up production right now, then.......maybe that protection shouldn't be on the top of the US's list right now either!!

Well, it did take Bush a LONG time to find out what we ALREADY KNEW (and know now)... that a gallon of gas was going up to $4.00. Why did he have to dilly dally and wait until it actually GOT to $4.00/gal?

Did he hold the Saudi King's hand and nibble on his ear?

Bush is a traitor to the USA. He has always collaborated with Arabs for oil gains.

"Our friends". If Bush is the face of the U.S., we've been getting slapped across the face, on the national stage, for most of his term.

Bush could have made a deal a long time ago to keep oil at 30 dollars a barrel. He was so arrogant that he said that deal didn't need to be made. Now look at him.

I read an article a while ago the suggested the price increase was due to the descrease in production at the refineries and the cost of refining, partly because of the hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico.??

No! Rascist Mexico is the greatest enemy of the United States than Saudi Arabia.

Iraq tanks were on the Saudi border and there was nothing the Saudis could do about it. Bush Sr. saved their butts.

Now Jr. has to beg for an increase in production.

In his defense it is the democrats who are putting national security at risk by preventing
oil exploration and increased production in this country.

democrats & republicans are SO pathtic. Too make matters worse the MSM will prevent any third party from getting started.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. We need to explore at home so we will never be dependent on the freaking arabs or anyone ever. Doesn't Bush realize how much they hate us. We don't need to save their butts, we need to save our butts. The Dems and Repubs are soo freaking stupid they need to be dumped and a new congress elected. One that does what the people want.

I agree. 15 the 19 airline hijackers of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks were Saudis. Bush was over their dealing one on one with these terrorists. Why has Saudi Arabia never been held accountable? Bush should be tried before a war tribunal for not protecting this nation. This coward dared not go after the nation that sponsored the terrorists that attacked our country given that we know the terrorists that attacked us came from Saudi Arabia.

GW Bush has his head so far up the A*S*S of the Saudi royal family that the best he can do when he comes out for air is ask for mercy before being plunged back in. He has sold out his country for a few dollars, and those very dollars are becoming worthless as we speak. They know they have him (and us) bent over a barrel, and they love giving it to us.

The Most Brilliant Political SCAM in Political History is being replayed by the HYPOCRITICAL and TREACHEROUS LIBDEMS replete with the "WMDS" and "WAR MONGERING IRAQ WAR" MANTRA.......and, it's working !!!!!
But, what are the IRREFUTABLE, WIDELY PUBLICIZED FACTS re the WMDS, and the NECESSITY for the IRAQ WAR ???????
FIRST, ALL the Intelligence Agencies of ALL the Major Countries of the World: England, France, Germany, Russia, etc.....and OUR OWN Clinton Adm's CIA widely publicized in our National Media and World Press that the Baghdad Psycho had the WMDS. And, Saddam actually did. But they couldn't be found.
SECOND: Clinton, and 99% of Congressional Dems yowled and howled for the removal of the Baghdad Monster for over a year. OUR STRATEGIC MID EAST INTERESTS WERE AT STAKE !!! Bush, using his own judgment, agreed with the Dems, and using the IDENTICAL VERBIAGE replete with WMDS invaded Iraq. This, after Saddam violated the provisions of The Surrender Treaty of the Gulf War, AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES....EACH TIME THE VIOLATION HAD THE WAR PENALTY CLAUSE !!!!!
BUSH DEFEATED SADDAM'S FIFTH LARGEST ARMY IN THE WORLD IN TWENTY - TWO DAYS !!!!!!!
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED !!!!!!!
Bush won a brilliant vistory WITH ZERO, or next to ZERO CASUALTIES !!!!!
But, Bush's brilliant victory spelled the DOOM for any chances for the DEMS in the upcoming ELECTIONS !!!!!!!!
There were minor skirmishes with some remnants of a HANDFUL of Saddam Loyalists, and a DOZEN or so disgruntled Baath Party Saddam political hacks. That wasn't anything that a few hundred American soldiers couldn't handle.
BUT......THE HYPOCRITICAL, and TREACHEROUS DEMS, made a 180 degree ABOUT FACE, and began INCESSANTLY and HYSTERICALLY attacking Bush's every move in the LibDem controlled National Media.......re Bush's " Exit Strategy".
THIS WAS THE GREEN LIGHT FOR IRAN, AND THE OTHER ISLAMOFASCIST SWINE TO START THE "IRAQI QUAGMIRE" !!!!!!!
The Islamofascists are PSYCHOS......but they are NOT STUPID.
IRAN, etc., knew the ELECTION game the Dems were playing......and are PLAYING NOW.......with MCCAIN's victory at stake !!!!!!!!
IRAN, etc., know that they CAN DEFECATE ON THE GREATEST MILITARY FORCE IN THIS PLANET'S HISTORY......WITH IMPUNITY......And the HYPOCRITICAL and TREACHEROUS DEMS will cover their backs.......in order to win the ELECTIONS !!!!!
BECAUSE, NOW......EVEN TODAY..... THE LIBDEMS NEED THE IRAQI QUAGMIRE....WHICH THE LIBDEMS THEMSEVES CREATED.....TO GET WORSE....... SO THAT THE LIBDEMS CAN MORE EASILY DEFEAT MCCAIN !!!!!
NOT ONLY THAT........THE LIBDEMS NEED TO RAISE A "RIGHTEOUS" CRY OF "WAR MONGERING", ETC........TO JUSTIFY THEIR FARCE OF AIDING AND ABETTING OUR ENEMY......IRAN..... IN CASE AMERICA.....FINALLY....I SAY, FINALLY PUTS A STOP TO HAVING AN ACTUAL WAR WITH IRAN.....ON IRANIAN TERMS......IN IRAQ !!!!!!
And, political idiots BY THE MILLIONS are buying into this OUTRAGEOUS LIBDEM CRAP by supporting this semi-black Obama Flim-Flam Man who plans to give away the Strategic Mid East to Iran..........thereby demolishing our Standard of Living.....on Obama's PHONY ASSERTION.....that HE, OBAMA....can accomplish by "NEGOTIATION" the HOMICIDAL ISLAMOFASCIST TERRORISTS , LIKE IRAN, TO GIVE UP THEIR MEGALOMANIACAL: DESIRE TO CONTROL THE STRATEGIC MID EAST.....AND DEVELOPE NUKES AT THEIR LEISURE.......WHILE "NEGOTIATING" !!!!!!!!
