Not OPEC, just parts of it, like our Sunni buddies in the Gulf. When this all started late last year I posted a Vanity piece on how we should have put an import tax on Saudi oil and some of the Freepers got it and some didn’t. This was an economic war on our RED STATE blue collar jobs.

and it worked so far

Of course this administration couldn’t care less, the wine and cheese crowd were more than happy to sell out their fellow Americans to save a couple of bucks at the pump.

I suppose you realize that oil is a fungible commodity, right?
Someone outside Saudi Arabia buys it, and either resells it to us, so it's not "Saudi" oil anymore, or uses Saudi oil and sells THEIRS to us, and what gets taxed?

Nothing.
