CAIRO, Egypt - Saudi officials told Syrian President Bashar Assad on
Thursday that he must fully withdraw troops from Lebanon and begin soon or
face strains in Saudi-Syrian ties. Assad promised only to study the idea of
a partial withdrawal by later this month.



The kingdom took a tough line as Assad met with the Saudi leader, Crown
Prince Abdullah, and other officials in Riyadh. So far, Damascus has
resisted Arab pressure for a quick pullout from Lebanon.


Saudi officials told Assad the kingdom insists on the full withdrawal of all
Syrian military and intelligence forces from Lebanon and wants it to start
"soon," according to a Saudi official who spoke by telephone from Riyadh.

Even the US has more allies in the Middle East than Syria.

Let's see...Saudi Arabia gets into it with Syria. We go in to Saudi Arabia to
provide 'assistance' and take on Syria while we're there. Saudi Arabia then
'asks' us to stick around and protect them and their oil, so we put in a few air
fields and other installations. We just 'happen' to be right across the pond
from Iran.

Could get really interesting!

Saudi Arabia isn't going to get into it with Syria. But I'm glad that
they're taking our (and the rest of the World's) side on this one.

We won't go back into Saudi Arabia. We left there because our presence was
bringing too much heat on the Saudi Royal family. They're in the midst of a
civil war against the Wahabbists in their own country.

Haven't been paying much attention, have you John? American troops in
Saudi *is* the reason bin Laden declared war on us. One of bin Laden's
demands was for American forces to leave Saudi, and of course our CIC
accommodated the terrorist. Perhaps, that is why we haven't heard much
from bin Laden lately, all his demands have been met.
