Ex-President Bush now in Kuwait, allegedly on private business. A dime will get you a dollar that OPEC policy will be a key topic of discussion.

No question, what else could be going on behind closed doors?

The first question when he comes out will be "Did you convince the sheik to turn the taps on?" At which point he'll look disappointed and say "no comment".
Next morning, "after failed deliberations", oil hits $35 and doesn't look back.
Then it's high fives all around; GW, the sheiks, and easy Al... - who then raises rates with one hand and tosses back some peanuts with the other. I mean, he has to, right?
Meanwhile, they actually did turn the taps on...

I would think Bush would pat the Kuwaitis on the back at this point. What better way to stick it to the Democrats than have the economy unravel in an election year. George can ask them to open the spigots around the second week of November. He could be nominated as ambassador about then.
