Saudi Aramco

Why are oil prices at levels that nobody seems to be able to explain, levels that seriously and negatively impact the world economy, especially those of developing countries?

As our so-called friends in Saudi Arabia watch our economy sink into recession, it's clear that the price of Mr. Bush's friendship has become frighteningly expensive to us and the rest of the world.

Before authorizing the sale of some of our most sophisticated military hardware to a fair weather friend at best, a number of questions should be asked and answered.

By holding oil off the market, the Saudis are gouging the world's economies, pricing their product at levels that have no market rationale whatsoever.
