And not everything isn't

Or something like that. I know that thinking about this stuff can be a slippery slope, but going to the opposite extreme and denying all conspiracies is just as unreasonable. Conspiracies happen; that's why our legal system has a vast body of law addressing conspiracy.

The incident in 2004 with Prince Bandar is real, and I hadn't forgotten. I was starting to wonder, this election season, how long it would take for other people to remember and mention the Saudi promise to Bush in 2004 to lower gas prices to help his reelection prospects.

If the Saudis made the promise once, is it so unreasonable to suppose that they'd make it again, under exactly the same circumstances? Has anything changed to make what was a fact in 2004 an impossibility in 2006?
