We shouldn’t drill so we can keep these jagoffs in fresh linens and the finest perfumed goats:

OPEC should order a “substantial” cut in oil output at next week’s emergency meeting in Vienna, Algerian Energy Minister and current OPEC chief Chakib Khelil said Saturday.[...]

“If it has to be 1.5 million barrels per day, or two million barrels per day, that’s what it will be,” Khelil added, during a visit to the southern Algerian province of Tamanrasset.

[...]

The fall in demand is being driven by lower consumption in the big markets like the US, with global demand having fallen by three million bpd, he added.

“We want a stable price per barrel — neither too high, nor too low, between 70 and 90 dollars,” Khelil said.

That’s bullshit.  So you see, if you cut your demand they just engage in price-fixing and production-fixing to make sure you’re getting an oily gangbang like you’re the sexiest camel at the Eid-al-Fitr day orgy.

OPEC has no army so this is their undeclared war on the U.S.  In response, any food or medicine being exported from the U.S. to all OPEC members should have, something fair, like a 100% mark-up in addition to all foreign aid and student visas being halted immediately.

Fair is fair after all.

1. I agree. Let’s drastically cut all the stuff we send those assholes. What ever it takes to even the playing field.

   God forbid we drill here, become self-sufficient and jeopardize the love fest between the Bushes and the Saudis.

   If they want war, they should get war.

2. American cars. Triple the price. Make them completely unaffordable. There are lots and lots of American cars in Saudi. The big ones. Suburbans, Tahoes, Yukons. Sure, gas is only like .45 a liter, here, but if you make the cars more costly it won’t matter that the gas is so cheap. Let them buy German cars or cars from Japan. They won’t. They LUV our American cars…

   Yes, I realize that not all Chevy’s and Dodge’s are built in the USA, but they are USA brand cars. Same with jeans. Put a price tag of $400.00 a pair for Levi’s here.

   For a country that hates all that the West stands for, they do all they can to emulate the West’s lifestyle.

4. Drill yes, but not to worry, for the most part we are talking about Kleptocrats and Arabs- they have the same herd loyalty as cats. There will be production-cheating up the wazoo as most did their nat’l budgets based on $100+bbl oil. Squeal, piggies!
