Now we know what the Saudis summoned Vice President Cheney to their palace to discuss. If the US pulls out of Iraq, they may go in and support the minority Sunnis. That puts an interesting twist on things, doesn't it? That the VP of the US flies half way around the world go get dressed down by a country that is one of our big oil suppliers.
Link below; my emphasis.
"Saudi Arabia, a majority Sunni country, has promised U.S. officials that it would not intervene to assist Iraq's Sunni insurgency, according to the Times, which cited anonymous American and Arab diplomatic sources.
But that promise might not hold if U.S. troops leave Iraq, the newspaper said. The Bush administration has repeatedly said there are no plans for the immediate pullout of U.S. troops.
The Times reported that Saudi King Abdullah issued the warning to Vice President Dick Cheney two weeks ago during Cheney's visit to Riyadh. The message also emphasized the kingdom's displeasure with proposed talks between the U.S. government and Iran."
They all say it's not so, but they lie. We know that. If that's not why Cheney went to Saudia, what is the reason? It was all very, very secret.
