Are you saying if we increase supply it would change the price?
remember few years back, Bush had asked the Saudis (and OAPEC) to increase production, but they didn't...if they had, would have it made a difference?
Back to Reagan's times, the Saudis were very close to the United States because of their existence of the Soviet Union...they even helped him get the money to fight the Soviets in Afganistan...why wouldn't they help him to increase the supply and lower the price?..........
