The Saudi's can probably outlast us but not by much. The bigger issue for them is the other OPEC countries that don't have the same cash reserves and cannot last nearly as long. They are already beginning to pressure the Saudis on prices. How long this can go on before someone blinks I honestly don't know but I think sooner rather than later someone will have to.
