#1 Nothing new here. The Saudis are masters of playing both sides. One side smooches up to the US, the other to the arab man on the street.

#2 These same officials believe that the Palestinian problem is not the root cause of Arab and Muslim antagonism to the United States. It is these officials who propose that the Netanyahu government should be rewarded for its intransigence rather than sanctioned."

Dont see OBL/Mullah OMAR using the Paelos excuse for their hatred!

#3 Interesting bit of background on this sport.

"When he was fourteen, he was sent by his father to study at Lawrenceville School, a prep school in New Jersey. His father sent him there because he wanted him to attain a "world-class education" not yet available in Saudi Arabia.

"Prince Turki then studied at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University in the class of 1968 (where he was a classmate of Bill Clinton), and at Princeton, Cambridge, and the University of London, where he studied Islamic law and jurisprudence.

"After he left Georgetown, he did some studies in Britain, and then went back to work in the Kingdom. Prince Turki was appointed an Advisor in the Royal Court in 1973.

"He has served as ambassador to both the US and UK."

#7 re: descended from Jews

Of course. Forced conversions. First the Christians, then the Moslems. No surprise there, JosephM. And the Samaritans where the Israelite peasantry left behind by the Babylonian conquest in 586 BCE.
