Mideast Asks Cheney for Patience With Iran


Associated Press


RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) -- The Arab world's two major powers urged Vice President Dick Cheney on Tuesday to give negotiations more time in the growing diplomatic conflict over Iran's nuclear program.

As Cheney wound up a meeting with Saudi King Abdullah at his ranch outside Riyadh late Tuesday, officials close to the talks said the monarch had spoken of "the necessity of giving negotiations a chance" before pressing for Iran's referral to the U.N. Security Council for possible sanctions.

Cheney got a similar message from Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak when they met earlier Tuesday in Cairo. Neither spoke to reporters, but Mubarak's spokesman said Cairo would "wait and see whether there will be a consensus" on dealing with Iran at the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog.

"We call for Iran to show more flexibility and cooperation, and we call for a continuation of dialogue with Iran," presidential spokesman Suleiman Awad said.

2. Why are they wasting their time talking with the criminal cheney?

4. Because they know who the BOSS is.

[ladjf]

5. Sure they know who the boss is. But, what kind of a deal can

you make with a crook? (Unless you are a crook.) Maybe that's it.

7. Cheney is up to something

rumor has it, he's begging for help in Iraq (once we "cut and run" for the '06 elections)...

[elehhhhna]

13. so they spin it as the ME is begging Cheney, as opposed to vice versa.

Of course. They always are up to the exact OPPOSITE of what they say.

16. he's begging for help now that Halliburton Spawn KBR is getting sued

Also, other private warrior corporations. Seems no one wants to claim accountability for deaths of company personnel in Iraq.
This could be bigger scandal than Abramoff.
