Lordy. That is worrying. The story I was listening to on Air America Radio when you posted this was that GWB has made arrangements with Prince Bandar, Saudi ambassador to the US, for the Saudis to increase the production of oil (and therefore drop prices) just before the election, and thus make GWB look good at the right time. Apparently journalists asked for details of this deal, and the government representative said something like, 'you'd have to discuss this with Bandar.' The followup question was, 'do you have any knowledge of such an arrangement?' Continued waffling. Al Franken was amazed that they didn't just deny it--'even if it's true, at least have the sense to deny it.'
