It is about time some of those oil countries stepped up. Now maybe they can step up the supply of oil to our country so that our gas prices come down a little.

:tool:

#1 The actual supply of oil has little to do with gasoline prices. It's the perception created by the commodity traders that effects oil prices. 100 times more paper barrels are traded every day than there are actual barrels...

#2 Gasoline prices are much more dependent on refining capacity, which was maxed out prior to the storm where 8 were shut down (4 have come back on, resulting in the softening of prices the last day or so...)

#3 Read Matthew Simmons recent book Twilight In The Desert, the coming Saudi oil crisis and the world economy. You don't just open the spigots and produce a couple extra million barrels (Although the Saudi's are hell bent on convincing you they can).

Either you knew this and forgot, or your post wasn't very well thought out or informed...

So sorry...

Is this some kind of April Fools joke, because I don't believe it.

Wow I am stunned and amazed

Y'all talking about those countries donating to the cause or my analysis???

Motor City MadMan

I'm stunned these countries would contribute. It had nothing to do with your analysis. Or urinalysis.

I knew they'd come through. I've always been a staunch supporter of the ragheads.

Allah Akbar!

Do they wear rags on their heads? At the very least they gave up some of their "hard earned cash" to the terrorist
