The White House wants it known....
I always find stories like this curious, private conversations, intentionally leaked by the President's staff.
So, no results, but they want you to think he's trying.
One hour after his plea for more Saudi oil was publicly rejected by the kingdom's oil minister, President Bush made a private visit to Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah to again ask him to open the spigots.
The White House revealed Bush's private meeting with the Saudi monarch to reporters aboard Air Force One as the president flew to Egypt on the next leg of his Mideast trip.....
So, no results, but they want you to think he's trying.

And if the Saudis don't "open the spigots" does this then make Bush look more the groveling fool... "Please master, may I have some more?"
Even if we do see a small, qui pro quo up-tick in production, doesn't this leak make Bush look a little pathetic. I mean, he already asked once and they said no. To go back again... I'm not sure the make him look weak or strong. Better to have waited before "leaking."

Fair question.
He was taking flak for not doing enough, so I'm guessing this is the response.
