Saudis Tell Syria to Withdraw From Lebanon

7 minutes ago

By SALAH NASRAWI, Associated Press Writer

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.

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 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 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.
