Saudis ask Bush to intervene in Mideast

By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer 1 minute ago

Snip...

"We are requesting a cease-fire to allow for a cessation of hostilities," Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal said after an Oval Office meeting with Bush.

Saud said he gave the president a letter from Saudi King Abdullah asking that Bush help seek an immediate cease-fire in the Middle East conflict.

Snip...

Rice and Bush have rejected calls for an immediate cease-fire, saying it does not make sense if the terrorist threat from Hezbollah is not addressed. They have said Israel has a right to defend itself from terrorism and that Hezbollah must return two captured Israeli soldiers and stop firing missiles and rockets into Israel if they want the fighting to stop.

Saud said Bush wants the violence to stop, although he did not say how Bush responded to the request for an immediate halt to Israel's bombing campaign.

"I found the president very conscious of the destruction and the bloodshed that the Lebanese are suffering," Saud said. "His commitment (is) to see the cessation of hostilities. I have heard that from him personally, and that is why he is sending Ms. Rice to work out the details."

1. Bush is "conscious of the bloodshed"?? Is he now??

Is he conscious? What the he** does he think he's doing supporting the indiscriminate destruction of Lebanon by Israel?? Does he get off on the violence as long as is hair isn't mussed? In his conscious state does he recognize that the Lebanese people need the same level of protection he accords frozen embryos??????

2. Being conscious "aware" of the bloodshed, is different than having

a conscience.

3. Awww, isn't this cute? A possible lover's quarrel between Bush

and his boyfriend, King Abdullah.

4. Of course Bush's aware of the bloodshed. It's the point of all this.

Bloodshed will lead the world towards a better place. That's Bush's ethos.

5. Wait..............aren't they middle easterners?

Wouldn't they know best on how to stop this "war"? They have enough money to get involved, even if they have to pay off people. How does getting Bush involved solve ANYTHING? Muslims hate him because of Iraq.

6. Yeah, I'm still waiting for the Saudis to pony up money and troops

to do their own defending. But remember, in 1991, they said they had us to do that dirty work, while they partied in London.
