The blogs and pundits are getting a good laugh over this GW idea of sending Cheney to try and get lower oil/gas prices ...Another Fox sent to guard the Henhouse :roll: :( :mad: ...
Its being pointed out that Cheney (who was a former corporate CEO with oil holdings) is the father of GW's energy policy- after having supersecret meetings with all the Oil executives (including their buddy Ken Lay :roll: )- meetings that resulted in what many feel was a policy written by the Oil execs, for the benefit of the Oil Companies-- and of which Bush/Cheney refuse to release the minutes or notes of :shock: :(

This GW administration policy that took gas prices from $1.40 a gallon in 2000 at the start of GW's term to $3.20 a gallon now :roll: :( - and that has resulted in the major Oil Corporations reporting record high earnings with record high salaries/bonus's for their CEO's (all old Cheney buddies) ...

So who will Cheney be representing in these OPEC country meetings
:???:

Cheney to urge Saudi Arabia to cool oil prices via OPEC crude production boost
03.10.08, 10:24 AM ET

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - US Vice-President Dick Cheney will urge key OPEC member Saudi Arabia next week to push the oil cartel to boost output in an effort to rein in sky-high prices, the White House said.

OPEC, which is responsible for around 40 pct of global crude supplies, held production quota levels unchanged when it met in Vienna last Wednesday, claiming the market is well supplied with crude.

The cartel ignored a last-ditch warning from US President George Bush on Tuesday, who pointed out it would be a 'mistake' for OPEC not to increase supplies, with the world's largest oil-consuming economy already under duress.

OPEC has consistently blamed the recent run-up in prices on financial speculation and weakness in the US dollar rather than a constrained supply.

Oil prices hit an all-time record of 106.54 usd per barrel in New York on Friday.
