You really should do a little research on capitalism. You might learn something about supply and demand. First, there is little Bush or anyone else can do about the increase in the price of a barrel of crude oil. Are you aware China is now the number two importer of oil, behind the United States, and in front of Japan? Are you aware China's crude oil imports are up 37% in August of this year over the August last year? Are you aware China is the world's fastest growing energy market? Are you aware Asia, including China, now import 12.3 million barrels of oil a day?
Are you aware the United States only imports approxiimately 22% per cent of our energy needs from the Persian Gulf? Are you aware the United States imports more oil from Mexico and Canada than Saudi Arabia. Are you aware of top eight oil export countries to the United States, only two are from the Persian Gulf, Saudi Arabia and Iraq?
On an open market, demand sets the price, not the President, or any other leader of a country.
Oh, and something else, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia doesn't support terrorism, although, there are factions within the non-secular government that do. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is walking a razor edge between maintaining a non-secular government, and the radical Islamic Wahhabist actively supporting a terrorist overthrow of the Saudi government and terrorism in the Middle East and the West.
Please, do a little research, you will be surprised what you'll find.

Get ready to duck....
Ths site seems to have 5 Bush supporters for every Bush hater (like me). I don't know anywhere else on the internet that has as big a Republican loyalist crowd, then again if there was you wouldn't find me there.
Glad to see someone on my side.
