Saudis possess a secret weapon: the Jedi Mind Trick.

Observe:
May 16, 2008 International Herald Tribune
"When President George Bush went to see Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah in January to plead for higher oil output, he was politely rebuffed...
If the Saudis deny help once again, they risk incalculable damage to their strategic alliance with Washington. The price of crude has rocketed by over $30 a barrel since that last fruitless meeting...
Asked what he would tell King Abdullah this time, Mr Bush said caustically: "the price is even higher."

President Bush said Saudi Arabia's small increase in oil production will not solve soaring U.S. fuel prices, but he defended the wealthy kingdom Saturday against American lawmakers "screaming the loudest" for Riyadh to open its spigots.

ACTUAL DIALOGUE FROM ABDULLAH'S PRIVATE RANCH

Bush:Let me see your oil.
King Abdullah: [with a small wave of his hand] You don't need to see my oil.
Bush: [to Condi Rice] We don't need to see his oil.
King Abdullah: This isn't the oil you're looking for.
Bush: This isn't the oil we're looking for.
King Abdullah: Go about your business.

Bush: OK, let's go guys! [Condi rolls her eyes]

King Abdullah: Move along.
Bush: Move along... move along. Last one back to Air Force One is a rotten egg!
