Saudi Arabia has stopped its supply of 50,000 barrels of oil per day to Bahrain since July, the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies said yesterday. Speaker Khalifa Al Dhahrani was informing the deputies about the decrease in Bahrain's resources and warning them against relying on a surplus of income following the record surge in oil prices. Al Dhahrani said that deputies should not jubilate over the unexpected surplus from the oil prices. "We do not have any resources. After the oil has dried up here, we have nothing to leave for the future generations," he said. "We all have to recall the 'absent' truth: If it were not for the close family ties between the Ruling Family and the ruling families in Saudi Arabia and in Kuwait, there would be no welfare coming into Bahrain," he said. The Minister of Finance and National Economy, Abdullah Saif, last night said that "the government in Bahrain was conducting brotherly consultations with the government of Saudi Arabia on bilateral oil arrangements." The minister hoped that "the consultations would result in positive results for the sake of the two countries and peoples." | Now why would the Saudis stop sending oil to their brothers in Bahrain? Perhaps they want them to rethink having all those filthy infidels and their military bases there. Wonder if the Bahrainian royal family would like to add "Defenders of the Two Holy Places" to their titles? |
