Bodman just gassed one in yo' face!!!
"JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia - Facing strong US pressure and global dismay over oil prices, Saudi Arabia said yesterday it will produce more crude this year if the market needs it. But the vague pledge fell far short of US hopes for a specific increase, and may do little to lower prices immediately.
For now, the "oil shock" leaves Western countries with little choice but to move toward nuclear power and change their energy-consumption habits, Britain's prime minister warned at a rare meeting of oil-producing and consuming nations....
Where are the ALTERNATIVES, Gordo?
Pfffftt!
The United States and other nations say oil production has not kept up with increasing demand, especially from China, India, and the Middle East. But Saudi Arabia and other Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries say there is no shortage of oil, and blame financial speculation and the falling US dollar.
THAT is your problem, right there, 'murka!
US Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman said earlier that US officials found no evidence speculators are driving up prices...."
Then why you investigating it, and why Congress proposing legislation, liar?
The fucking Bushies never stop lying; if they did, their tongues would turn to sand.
