Good to see that we have a partner in the Middle East that can help us out just as we helped them when Saddam was about to overthrow their turd of a kingdom.

Show or not, it can't be good for his credibility considering what he said back in 2000 that America needs to strong-arm OPEC to let the oil flow.

Maybe he just needs to be a little bit tougher

Maybe it's not close enough to November yet. Just take a look at gas prices and before and after the 2006 election. Coincidence? Maybe.
