The whole thing was a publicity exercise gone wrong. I don’t know if the Saudis are pumping flat out or not, but refining capacity is certainly maxed.

Prominent people like Henry Ford could publish the Protocols of the Elders of Sion without being challenged or ostracized by polite society, Ivy League schools and the US Army had strict quotas on Jewish students or officers, and refugees from nazi persecution were turned away at the borders. Then again, the US has evolved since, Saudi Arabia hasn't. To be fair, the US was barely less anti-semitic than the Saudis in 1943.

The generous king recanted his refusal and will grant a small token for us (ie the US) next month. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/16/AR2008051601111.html?hpid=topnews I am already planning on how to spend the extra .02 per gallon I will save next month. Those Saudi's sure are a generous lot ;) Philip,
