Anyways, like i said, Saudi has more oil. 60 or 85 percent is quite simply, wrong.

Yeah I thought I read it somewhere fairly official -- most likely off of a link on drudge. I just couldn't remember the specifics. But the bottom line was, Saddam controls or is sitting on TONS of oil, enough to move the markets, and not selling much of it.
I could see how this could be unacceptable to some people.
