if Prince Bandar can lower our gas prices now, why not ALWAYS?
we all know that prince bandar is practically a member of the bush family, no joke, they love him. and we all know from woodward's book that the good saudi prince promised bush he'd lower gas prices right before the election. and just as promised, good prince bandar did indeed lower our gas prices.

if he can do that, for no good reason other than making bush look good, why can't they keep the prices low? i know, i know, logic doesn't always work out with bushkkko. and isn't it almost treasonous to openly gouge the citizenry like this? making deals with princes and kings from saudi arabia? 15 of the so called terrorists in the jets were saudis. and WHY arent' we having a war with saudi arabia?

1. Well as you've said before
in so many words, as long as we aren't in the streets protesting they think they can get away with it. And their buddies make more money if oil costs more. Can't have Bandar Bush not making billions now, can we?

5. That's what it is all about isn't it? "Bandar bush" and his oil buddies,
the contempt the world holds for these two men are enormous and soon the world will want their due.

2. This was from Bob Woodword.
I dont trust him. I think he is a BFEE suck up. From what I have read the Saudi ramp up is from worn out wells that produce heavy(sludge) high sulfer,hard to refine oil. Thats why its still left. That is why the future price keeps going up. Markets always know.

I think gas will at least be $3/gallon soon. There is some lag time from the well to the gas stations. Time to unload the Hum jobs

3. Keeping them low doesn't have the same effect
as LOWERING them. They prices must go up so there is room to lower them.

That assumes that he can actually DO anything. Most of the short term causes for the rising prices has nothing to do with the Saudi supply....

We aren't having a war with SA because they have paid Bush & Co $1.4 billion over the past 30 years (as per Craig Unger in House of Bush, House of Saud). Anyway, why would Bush be mad at the people that fixed his approval numbers, created endless fear, and provided an environment for the PATRIOT ACT and cleaning out the US treasury....?

4. Bandar and the current monarch (who is 80) are the US's best friends
in SA. The rest of the royals and the general population do not like us much.

When that old guy kicks it, watch out!
