Bush: OPEC Nations Should Pump More Oil
By TERENCE HUNT and ANNE GEARAN – 1 hour ago

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Tuesday that the United States wants Arab nations to do more to reach out to Israelis, as a way to do their part to nudge a Mideast peace accord into being.

Rice spoke from Saudi Arabia, at the side of its foreign minister, Prince Saud, giving her words and the U.S. position more weight.

"We have believed that it will be important for the regional states, the Arab states to do everything possible to encourage the process and that, yes, there should be efforts to reach out to the Israelis as this process goes forward," she said.

6. How?
For YEARS OPEC has been saying they were going to raise output - and for YEARS it has not come to pass. If they're in decline (which many Peak Oil experts think), there's simply NO WAY they can pump more oil.

Saudi Arabia: Market dictates production

Source: AP

Saudi Arabia: Market dictates production 4 minutes ago



RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Saudi Arabia will raise oil production only when the market justifies it, the kingdom's oil minister said Tuesday, in response to President Bush's request that OPEC nations increase output to reduce world oil prices.

"Our interest is to keep oil supplies matching demand with minimum volatility in the oil market," Oil Minister Ali Naimi told reporters. "We will raise production when the market justifies it. This is our policy."

Naimi said inventory levels appear to be "normal," adding, "we want the inventories to be healthful, but we don't want it to be extremely high or extremely low."

Earlier Tuesday in Riyadh, Bush warned that soaring oil prices could cause an economic slowdown in the United States.

"High energy prices can damage consuming economies," the president told a small group of reporters traveling with him in the Mideast.

15. Yeah...pump that oil...quick, so we can gain the profit.
It is in the best interest of the oil corporation AND stock holders to pump and refine as much of that oil as fast as we can...for profits.

I honestly think my grand kids are going to see the day when oil drops in price.....ONCE we have gotten off our addiction to it. Not to be in my lifetime, but it is coming.

These hacks need to get their profits off this black gold before the demand fades.

Who could have predicted that a several times failed businessman would suck at leadership and doing what he promises?

Headline should have been "Bush follows through on campaign pledge."
