OPEC summit

    Iranian PM, Ahmanidiotjan got his rocks off at the OPEC summit praising the Saudi's and getting rather excited about the drop in the dollar, claiming it is "the fall of the American empire".

A few other choice quotes:

  Hugo Chaves said that OPEC should be more political.  "OPEC should set itself up as an active political agent," he said.

  He was slapped down gently by King Abdullah, who said "Those who want OPEC to take advantage of its position are forgetting that OPEC has always acted moderately and wisely."

  But the most amusing statement was made by a Mohammad al-Sabban, a Saudi government adviser on climate change who said:  "We want to continue using fossil fuels while protecting the environment,"
