Proof Positive...

... That President Bush has destroyed America's stature and influence around the world:

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) - The White House says Saudi Arabia's leaders are making clear they see no reason to increase oil production until customers demand it.
President Bush was in the oil-rich country Friday to appeal to King Abdullah for greater production to help halt rising gas prices in the United States.

Bush trots over to Saudi Arabia to ask them a favor to help drop the cost of oil, but visits Israel first, making the Saudis second in line, a deadly insult. What an idiot.

First he pleads with the Jews to make peace during his term as president(something every American president for the last sixty years has tried), then he grovels in front of some greedy towelhead(who is actually an enemy of ours) in Saudi Arabia trying to cut the cost of oil.

Both the Jews and the Saudis effectively laugh in his face and send him packing with his tail tucked between his legs.

Try to keep in mind that both these places are two-bit little nothings sprouting out of the desert sands, both far smaller than many of our States. The only thing either of them have going for themselves is our money.

Yes Yes... the Jews have their version of religion and the Arabs have oil, both commodities Americans are addicted to. We need a real cold-turkey plan to wean us from both.

Had I been in Bush's place, I would have stopped the money flow instantly until they toe the line. Having the President of the United States take this kind of sass from either of them is not in my playbook.

Even if it is an idiot like Bush.
