There's an alternative (& more probable) explanation that what the Saudi's are saying to 'W's selfish request is BS. See the below quote (found in the below* link)
"Matthew Simmons (Twilight in the Desert) has been insisting for the past few years that Saudi production is close to peak and that Ghawar, the world’s biggest [oil] field, may be in decline."
It could well be the beginning of the decline of PRODUCTION of oil no matter WHAT PRICE a barrel sells for. And of course 'W' and the Neo-cons aren't going to PUBLICLY acknowledge this 'peak-oil' problem, although Cheney & friends privately did/do and his 'solution' (invade the Middle East and steal their oil) obviously stems from his belief that this IS an imminent problem.
