Clinton arrives in Saudi for Iran, Mideast talks
2010-02-16
[Al Arabiya Latest] United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in Riyadh on Monday for talks with Saudi leaders on Washington's drive for tough new sanctions against Iran over its controversial nuclear program.

She was due to meet Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal before heading to a desert camp outside the capital for talks with King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz.

In neighbouring Qatar earlier, Clinton warned that Iran was heading towards a "military dictatorship" dominated by the elite Revolutionary Guard that posed a threat to the whole world.

The U.S. chief diplomat told students in Qatar that the United States was not seeking to use military action against Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions but rather seeking to use international pressure through the U.N. Security Council.

#1  Does this quote sound to you like it sounds to me?

Prince Saud al-Faisal. He said Iran risked setting off a nuclear arms race in the region, and expressed worries that the American-led effort to impose new sanctions might not come quickly enough.

“Sanctions are a long-term solution,” he said. “But we see the issue in the shorter term, maybe because we are closer to the threat. So we need an immediate resolution rather than a gradual resolution.”

Earth to Faisal: The shortest distance between Israel and Iranian targets is through Saudi territory. B Hussein 0 will do diddly squat.
