Arabian Oil Tsar to President Bush: 'Get Lost'

Arabian Oil Tsar to President Bush: 'Get Lost'
By YOUSSEF IBRAHIM

After pleading with King Abdullah to pump more oil and ease gas prices, "get lost" was the answer President Bush received on his historic visit to Saudi Arabia.

"Presidents and kings have every right to comment or ask or say whatever they want," but we will not do it, the Saudi oil minister, Ali Naimi, responded in a hastily convened press conference hours after the presidential supplication.

Particularly noteworthy is that Mr. Bush made his entreaty on behalf of American consumers whose tax dollars and soldiers have — twice since 1990 — saved Saudi Arabia's hide from Saddam Hussein's claws. Even by Bedouin standards of hospitality, that was a blow below the Texan's belt.

For at least a decade now, Saudi Arabia has favored pliant reporters and editors and oil industry sycophants and lobbyists with its "secret potion" for oil power, the reason it is Sampson to OPEC's Delilah — namely its mighty "excess" production ability.

Does that not make the Tsar somewhat responsible too?

Forgive me, I have no clue on the process. Not much good at connecting dots either. :(

enjoyed the reference to Bush being soundly nutted, but that's just me.

What a crock!!

I day-dream that someday a reporter will ask about that....
