What is far more disturbing is the relationship between the Bush family and the ruling family and oil sheiks of Saudi Arabia that can be traced back decades.
Of course, there is this clearly showing disrespect towards the US.
The hand clasp with the oil kingdom's 81-year-old de facto ruler had two objectives: a break from recent record-high world oil prices, and a message of U.S. support for the Saudi royal family as it faces a growing internal terrorist threat.

Ok fine so I'll include you as one of the liberals ( maybe the only one ) who doesn't believe the Saudi gov't funds terrorism. I'm sure I could go back and check your posts that might contradict this, but instead I'll just refer you to Venezuela
