| Saudis will not boycott Israel: US |
| 2006-05-24 |
| Saudi Arabia has assured the United States it no longer enforces the Arab League boycott of Israel, even though it attended a recent meeting in Damascus to discuss ways to tighten it, a top US trade official said in remarks released on Monday. "We have raised this issue directly with senior Saudi officials on several occasions, both in Riyadh and in Washington," Deputy US Trade Representative Susan Schwab said in written responses to questions raised by members of the Senate Finance Committee. "In all cases, we have received assurances that Saudi Arabia fully understands and remains committed to its WTO obligations, including the WTO obligation to treat all WTO members according to WTO rules," Schwab said. |

| #6 Does that include allowing you into the KSA if you have a previous stamp in your passport from Israel? |

| #5 Oh yeah, I believe everything that comes out of their terrorism funding, human rights abusing, oil price gouging, Christian beheading, child raping, human trafficking, genital mutilating pieholes. |

| #3 "In all cases, we have received assurances that Saudi Arabia fully understands and remains committed to its WTO obligations, including the WTO obligation to treat all WTO members according to WTO rules," Schwab said. Assurances from the Saudies, assurances from the True Believers™ to infidels. What a crock. What kind of suckers does this trade chick take us for? |

| #2 Who knows, maybe you are. ;-) My granma used to say "Yeah, and maybe I'm a Chinese god of laughter". After considering all the angless at the tender age of five, I scientifically concluded that can't, possibly, be the case. ;-) |
