Friends - wealthy variety

Here are two headlines from AP posted online two hours 22 minutes apart. Money has no influence in any of this. I'm sure of it.

First the request from one friend.

Bush asks Saudis to increase oil production

And the response from the other friends.

Saudis see no reason to raise oil production now

Considering the Bush family has a long history of "friendship" with the Saudis and the idiot-in-chief's administration even authorized the bin Laden family to leave the US after 9/11 when almost no one else was allowed to fly, ya have to wonder who needs fucking friends like this?
