"Please don't blame us for $93 oil," Qatari Oil Minister Abdullah al-Attiyah told reporters on the fringes of an international energy conference.
"The market is out of control."
Bullshit. OPEC controls a very large portion of the oil market and can freely bump up production to any level they'd like. However, they don't simply because it makes them more money. If they truly wanted to get prices down, they would bump production up until oil fell back down to the $30-$40 range. Yet, a few people seem to forget one minor problem.
This is the same guy who only 21 days ago said:
"If we take into account inflation from 1972 to the present day, the real and fair price for oil should be more than 100 dollars," Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Attiyah said in remarks aired by Al-Jazeera television on Tuesday.
So, three weeks ago, we should have been grateful for the $80 we were paying, but now that it's starting to hit it's "real and fair price", they want us to bend over and take it up the ass?
Fuck them. The SECOND a decent car comes out that lets me get my daily commute done without using a drop of oil, such as the Chevy Volt, I'm leaving OPEC a big, fat, "fuck you".
