Bush misses the point

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) -- President Bush on Tuesday gently nudged OPEC to raise production levels, saying he hopes the oil cartel will consider how high oil prices are straining the U.S. economy.


President Bush stayed up well past his regular bedtime for after-dinner talks with the king in his opulent palace.

Bush said he is speaking with Saudi King Abdullah about oil prices, which recently surged past $100 a barrel.

"Oil prices are very high, which is tough on our economy," Bush said. "I would hope, as OPEC considers different production levels, that they understand that if ... one of their biggest consumers' economy suffers, it will mean less purchases, less oil and gas sold."

Yes, now the middle east is scratching their heads and wondering why they never figured out that higher gas prices are actually bad for them, but Bush, our beloved W succinctly explains it above. I'm certain they're founding the GW School of economics at the University of Riyahd as we speak.

Why do we have this guy again?
 
Boy the intellect of the hate bush first crowd is astounding...

WTF is your point, it's basic economics, Bush is playing the hand strings on the bottom line, it's an effective pitch.

You miss the point as well. He's playing nice with the Saudis while pointing guns at Iran. Both are OPEC, his stupid sales job doesn't fly. He can't have it both ways.
 
No one is jumping to war with Iran, or those fast boats would be at the bottom of the sea. Bush is shooting straight about Iran, not warmongering. OPEC is a collection of nations, many moderate, who have no stake in Iran or it's power plays in the region, and don't want to see burgeoning markets cut out from underneath them. It's an effective pitch and you've let hatred cloud your clear judgment on many issues lately.

No Larry, I haven't. I just don't turn a blind eye to shit that harms my country, no matter which party they belong to. If you think W is shooting straight about Iran, then you seriously need to reexamine where your loyalties are coming from.
 
Listen, I've done mentioned to you before about questioning my loyalties, I wore the uniform for America, not Bush, or Republicans, and am willing to do it again, I have my political beliefs and they are strong because I've spent many hours formulating them, it has nothing to do with my patriotism. I do not want war, but we can't let wearyness cause us to make a bad decision, that's all.

Maybe if the Libs would allow oil drilling/ natural gas/ nuclear power/ wind turbines within US borders we could tell OPEC to pound sand. :pke:
 
A good point yourself, ANWAR, the coastlines, clean coal technologies, nuclear, we dont' have to be as dependent, if Dims would get out of the way.

Is saudi arabia a "moderate nation"?
 
WRL said:
Well that depends on specifically what you are asking, the people or the government? In the political spectrum that exists within that country the government is.

So the definition of moderate varies nation by nation, depending on the how the government is situated ideologically relative to the people?

Hmmmmm,sounds like bullshit.

Are you aware that saudi arabia has been funding terrorist-training madrassas for the last few decades all around the middle east? Is that moderate?

Is islam really the religion of peace as bush says, or that a fat lie like everything else?

1. A nation is made up of many factions. For example here in the US we have conservatives, moderates, and liberals. You can't paint us with a braod brush.
2. That is a big fat lie. However if Bush told the truth about Islam the Liberals would crucify him.
