LENNY,

When interviewed today, Prince Bandar said that this was NOT
a 'promise', but a general "Pledge" that the Saudi Arabian
Government (Royal Family) has made to each US President since
Jimmy Carter. That the 'price' of Oil and therefore the "Price"
of Gasoline would not be a factor during the US Presidential
Election period.

Prince Bandar Assists Bush in re election bid

Last night on CBS's 60 Minutes, Bob Woodward, senior editor at the
Washington
Post, said Saudi Arabian Prince Bandar pledged to increase Saudi oil
production
and thereby lower gas prices just before the 2004 election.
Is this payback for the Bush " Hands Off The Saudis" approach to
terrorists??

Is that as opposed to the eight-year Clinton " Hands Off The Saudis"
approach to terrorists? Or shouldn't I expect you to bring that up?

This pledge has cost U.S. consumers literally billions of dollars in
higher gas
prices.

And exactly how has that happened?
