One issue the American public has a keen interest in is the price of oil -- a topic that created some embarrassment for Mr. Bush in January.

At that time, with gas prices already on the rise, Mr. Bush appealed to the Saudi oil minister to give Americans some relief by increasing production -- and was publicly rebuffed.

He then made a private appeal to King Abdullah, with little result.

To describe Bush's Middle East policy--to the extent that there is one--as "failed" is much too kind.

Try "catastrophic."

You mean bush has a policy????

You're quite right Doc the headline deserved catastrophic.

It won't be long it will be before the term 'bush' is synonymous with catastrophic result.

Any policy this drunk cock-sucker came up with it "failed".
