Bush went to the Saudis to obtain a firm "No!" in order renew his Big Oil-sponsored campaign to expand drilling in the nation''s unspoiled natural parks, coastllines and waterways.

It''s deja vu all over again. When a GOP congress pushed through its ANWAR drilling measure a few years ago, all the information you present was widely known-- including the absurdity of spending five to seven years to develop an oil field whose total flow will run the nation for a few months at current consumption. So, why drill?

But what Bush and Big Oil seek is not ANWAR, this time, but carte blanche to plunder any natural resource, no questions asked. And as if on cue, the Bushbot Glee Club has arrived, singing The Drilling Song about vast, undeveloped oil fields just beyond reach-- if only the backward, anti-progess environmentalists would get out of the way..

The core of our problem remains an addiction to oil-- enabled, abetted and enforced by members of congress and presidents too politically timid to understand they must rise above politics as usual to save the nation from the utter ruin of oil politics.

Saudis Reject Bush''s Pleas

OK! Enough! We had some fun with this! The real reason Saudi Arabia rejected Pres. Bush''s plea to raise oil production is because the Saudi''s want to buy the new U.S. top of the line Fighter Jet, the F-22 Raptor! and the U.S. refuses to sell it to them! Good for us! We are always selling the Saudi''s our best Fighters and this time the U.S. said "NO", so the Saudi''s said no back to us! The U.S. should not be blackmailed into always selling our best technology to the Saudi''s! There are some things money should not be able to buy, so in that context good for Pres. Bush, he didn''t give away the farm for oil!

CBS: Mr. Bush concedes that raising output is difficult because the demand for oil - particularly from China and India - is stretching supplies. Besides, any production hike might not lower prices that much. Some economists say those prices are being driven up by increased demand, not slowed production.

Saudis need to accelerate the camel booze conversion process, in order to provide to the world market! Maybe hire more laxative people looking like george bush in order to increase the ouput from the camels'' .

Technically, Bush is now meeting with terrorists, himself. Wonder how he can reconcile this with his speech from Israel?

-Israel is the main problem with this increase of oil price. Indefectible support to Israel, without restriction, with no question asked, The Saudis are saying to Bush why don''t you ask Israel to produce more oil and put bread on the table! Oldmutt, why don''t you digg deeper in the Neguev Desert and find the precous Oil, Deliver it to America!

The truth is that the Saudis are already pumping oil at near to the sustainable max rate. You can force a well to flow at a higher rate but at the cost of reducing the total percentage of the field recovered. Acual recovered product is somewhere between 30 and 60 percent of what is actually in the field, determined by the specific geology of the field.

If you look at the recoverable resource in ANWAR, you are looking at an amount equal to some months of our current consumtion. It''ll take five to seven years to develop the field, and twenty years to pump the resource. So, at best you would be talking a few percent of what we use available from ANWAR each year.

We can make gasoline, kerosene (jet fuel) and diesel from coal, and probably at a lower cost per gallon than from crude oil. The Germans did it in WW2, the South Africans from the sixties to present, but it''ll take five to seven years to get that capacity on line. We were all set up to do it in the seventies, at Carters behest, but subsequent administrations hid their heads in the sand and killed the projects.

If the U S would bring home its military and stop running around the world causing trouble with bases, planes, and ships all over the world burning up more oil than many countries combined. Bush has made the bed, now sleep in it, he won''t.

Am I the only one that CAN''''T WAIT until this MORON leaves office??!! Let''''s see .... you want Saudi Arabia (sunnis) to help America when you toppled the sunni regime in IRAQ and turned the nation and SADDAM over to the shi''''ites?! Bin Laden told you "it''''s all about PALESTINE", and you throw our alliance with ISRAEL in HAMAS''''(sunnis) face?! Did you think helping the shi''''tes in IRAQ would gain you favor with them when you ''''re displaying hostile intentions towards IRAN (a shi''''te nation)?! Plus, you''''re aiding the Lebanese Army (sunnis) in their recent conflict with HEZBOLLAH (shi''''ites)! Mr. BUSH, middle east politics is CLEARLY NOT YOUR FORTE.

Hilarious.

Iraqi oil was suppose to pay us off after plopping down more than a trillion dollars over there for ousting their bad dictator.

And we''re going to get nothing for it...and now King George is on his knees begging the Saudi oil kings for more oil.

Man, what a loser country we live. LOL

Why blame the voters ? Bush made promises to the American people then never delivered. He shares the blame alone.

It is time to shut down all operations in Saudia Arabia, cut off all aid, end all contracts ther and pull out, also cut off any aid we give them for anything. Get the hell out of Iraq. Those people have been fighting for centuries and will be for centuries to come. It was a civil mattter that the Iraqui''s should have been left to handle themselves. Also we should sue Iraq for the cost of the war.

Bush and King Abdullah at Abdullah''s horse farm munching on fried chicken:

Bush: Abdullah, my friend, oil prices are sky high. My buddies and I are making a billion dollars a week. It is good times.

Abdullah: Allah has been great to all of us.

Bush: Tell you what. I need to show the stupid American public that I am doing something about this.

Abdullah: Aight. What do you have in mind, Georgie?

Bush: Look, we will tell them that I came here to pressure you and to beg you to increase oil production to ease the prices. But, you REBUFFED me.
I mean you really, really REBUFFED me. That will also allow my buddies to convince the stupid public to drill in ANWR. You know - so "we do not have to be dependent on foreign oil" smile nudge wink .

Abdullah: Ha Ha Ha.. Sure, Georgie. You are a ******* but you got some evil advisors. We''ll do as you say. Now.. let''s go horse riding.
