Well I suppose I wonder about Abdullah and perhaps that was the source of the remarks from the American that you were discussing in an earlier post.

A sharp advance in the price of Crude such as we saw during last Northern Hemisphere's Summer could be considered suspect. Manipulated Shortage or Real, that is the question. I do not expect you nor I nor anyone here to answer that, it's just that it is plausible that the shortage is manipulated.

If that is so, then greed is a factor and the manipulation of Energy can lead to no good. Results are on a global scale, and perhaps for many years. "Very" expensive Crude will lead, undoubtably, to the demise of the Arab Nations.

Would you disagree?
