#1 AP reported that the State Department . . . welcomed the Arab Leagues reaffirmation of [the plan]. That is something we view as very positive, spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters. [He] said the United States has no interest in seeking revisions to the initiative. . . . We are not and have not asked them to amend it, he said.

Asked for his response to Abdullah, the Saudi monarch, calling Americas presence in Iraq an illegitimate foreign occupation, McCormack characterized Saudi Arabia as a good friend and ally. . . ."

State's moral compass is demagnetized. Abdullah greedily drains our coffers with one hand while cheerfully flipping us the bird with his other. He has the temerity to characterize our liberation of Iraq as an illegitimate foreign occupation, but doesn't seem to mind how America is spilling so much of its own blood to mitigate regional Shiia hegemony. We are absolute morons to allow this bastard to have it both ways.

As for the Saudi plan, it calls for:

1) Full Israeli withdrawal from all the territories occupied since 1967, including the Syrian Golan Heights, to the June 4, 1967 lines as well as the remaining occupied Lebanese territories in the south of Lebanon.

2) Achievement of a just solution to the Palestinian refugee problem to be agreed upon in accordance with U.N. General Assembly Resolution 194.

3) The acceptance of the establishment of a sovereign independent Palestinian state on the Palestinian territories occupied since June 4, 1967 in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The Saudis managed to lard that with just a few corkers, now didn't they. Give up the Golan Heights so that Syria can resume shelling Israel. Allow for Right of Return and thereby force Israel to commit demographic suicide. Finally, permit even partial control of Jerusalem by Palestinian factions. We all saw what sort of custodianship the Palestinians demonstrated at The Church of the Nativity.

The House of Saud desparately needs to take a huge flying fuck.
