Bush Mid-East Trip One For The Books

Money Trumps Peace

Arms Dealer asks For Increase In Oil Production And Gets Snubbed.
After insisting to the American people there’s nothing he should do to interfere with the “free markets” of global oil, Bush now asks OPEC to pump more oil? Has he suddenly found some new religion?
Saudi's looking For Stability:
"There have been many attempts ... to create doubt about the long-term viability ... of oil," Naimi said. "As a result of these misplaced fears, billions of dollars have been spent on research for alternative fuels ... thus far with minimal success and high costs. ... We must recognize the central role that oil will continue to play."
In other words……..they know oil is king. When supply and demand is manipulated by greed and fear, it really doesn't matter, because they're all free market principles.
Saudi's looking for stability:
Asked about gasoline prices -- and if Americans might ever again see prices below $2 per gallon -- the soft-spoken minister laughed and said: "If I knew the answer to that question, I would be in Las Vegas rather than here."
When you're sitting on billion$ of barrel$ of oil that of which industrialized and wasteful nations cannot live without, who needs Las Vegas?

Instead of telling Bush to pick up and take his war machine with him out of the region in order to stabilize global oil markets, they end up giving him this........and with their profits and wealth, who could blame them? "Instability" like this should never go unrewarded.
