Certainly strange why Bush would be asking Saudi Arabia to increase Oil production, when it is a Fact that Canada provides the majority of Oil to the tune of 90% + as compared to a paltry 10% Saudi Arabia supplies to our neighbours to the South, makes me wonder if perhaps George's minions have not apprised him of this fact?
Certainly George Bush's "War for Oil" stance beginning with the Iraq war to save the Saudis from invading Iraqi's didn't make much sense either. But then, I am sure there are reasons for that invasion decision, most of us do not understand, though Cheney as Haliburtons Bestest Pal making a killing on the lives of American Soldiers seems plausible.
If the US want lower Gas Prices, they should be looking North for relief, though Canadians pay much higher gas prices at $5.00 a gallon, than their American brethern at $3.65 a gallon.
SHARM EL-SHEIK, Egypt - U.S. President George W. Bush said Saturday that the Saudis' modest increase in oil production is "something but it doesn't solve our problem" of soaring gas prices.
Taking note of the kingdom's recent decision to raise production by 300,000 barrels a day, the president said the United States must act, too, to ease the gasoline crisis. He mentioned steps such as developing alternate fuels, improving conservation and expanding domestic exploration.
