    the Saudi's are manipulating the oil prices in order to help Bush get kicked out. They are all scared he's going to go after their oil.

            perhaps he needs low priced oil to keep the black helicoptors flying that feed all the tin foil hat conspiracy nuts out there?

              wouldn't surprise me. The Saudis are great manipulators and have good relations with pretty much every US president, especially the Bush's.

                    You think that every single book ever published is untrue, because it's a book?

                    What about the bible, that's also a book.

                    Maybe that's why right wingers seem a little slow - they don't read books?

                        Sure... nothing we want more than the Saudis picking our next President when they know the people here are just reactionary and don't often look at the big picture.

                        I think a bunch of you Bush bashers are just suckers doing exactally what some outside influences like this are wanting you to do. Probably nothing the terrorists like to see more than us turning againt the President right now.

                        anyway... just my

                          Ohhhh... and I thought it was so we wouldn't have to depend so much on the Saudis and the Middle East for our needs in the US.

                          What a silly idea.

                              That's bullshit.
                              You're talking about the guy who cracked the watergate scandal and tied it to the white house. (He won a Pulitzer for that BTW)
                              This guy does his homework.

                                  60 Minutes is produced and aired on CBS

                                  CBS is owned by Viacom

                                  Woodward's book is being publsihed by Simon & Schuster

                                  Simon Schuster is owned by Viacom




                                  However, Bob Woodward is the most credible journalist in Washington. He's got the inside track with a lot of the most elite power players there.

                                  The price of oil WILL come down right before the election. That was part of the deal with the Al-Saud family.

                                    Yeah the Saudis in collaboration with Al-Qaeda and Bob Woodward are involved in some kind of conspiracy to get rid of Bush

                                    You don't know the first thing about the house of Saud do you? They and there Kuwaiti friends have always been every super power's bitch starting during the Ottoman empire.

                                            This guy is nuts

                                            Bush told Woodward that he was driven by God, and that he did not talk to his dad because he had a "higher father".

                                                You think that every single book ever published is untrue, because it's a book?

                                                What about the bible, that's also a book.

                                                Maybe that's why right wingers seem a little slow - they don't read books?
                                                We understand propaganda when we hear it.

                                                If I remember correctly every tell all book about clinton, written by real insiders was branded a pack of lies by the press.

                                                      But, it turns out, two days before the president told Powell, Cheney and Rumsfeld had already briefed Prince Bandar, the Saudi ambassador.

                                                      ?Saturday, Jan. 11, with the president's permission, Cheney and Rumsfeld call Bandar to Cheney's West Wing office, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Myers, is there with a top-secret map of the war plan. And it says, ?Top secret. No foreign.? No foreign means no foreigners are supposed to see this,? says Woodward.

                                                      ?They describe in detail the war plan for Bandar. And so Bandar, who's skeptical because he knows in the first Gulf War we didn't get Saddam out, so he says to Cheney and Rumsfeld, ?So Saddam this time is gonna be out, period?? And Cheney who has said nothing says the following: ?Prince Bandar, once we start, Saddam is toast.?"

                                                      After Bandar left, according to Woodward, Cheney said, ?I wanted him to know that this is for real. We're really doing it."

                                                      But this wasn?t enough for Prince Bandar, who Woodward says wanted confirmation from the president. ?Then, two days later, Bandar is called to meet with the president and the president says, ?Their message is my message,?? says Woodward.

                                                            What a silly idea.

                                                            One purpose of The Clean Air Act is to force power plants that use <b>COAL</b> to produce electricity to limit the amount of air pullution they produce. It has nothing to do with Saudi oil. Bush stopped the EPA from investigating any power plant that is violating the Act. I'm sure you think this is a great idea since you believe the greenhouse effect means better gardens.

                                                                  Record US gasoline prices at the pump are proving a political headache for President George W Bush as he seeks re-election in 2004.

                                                                  Saudi Arabia has vowed to ensure world oil supplies will remain plentiful, in light of Opec's decision to cut output.

                                                                  Opec reduced production - by one million barrels per day - in order to provoke an orderly easing in prices.

It's typical for top US officials to get jobs with the countries that they have helped the most during their time in office. They work under corporations that are essentially owned by the government of whatever country it may be.
