Saudis Endorse New U.S. Strategy for Iraq

quote[Saudi Arabia endorsed the goals of President Bush’s new strategy for Iraq today. But in carefully worded comments, the Saudi foreign minister indicated deep concern about whether the Shiite-led government in Baghdad can halt sectarian violence and protect Sunni interests.

“We agree fully with the goals set by the new strategy, which in our view are the goals that — if implemented — would solve the problems that face Iraq,” said Prince Saud al-Faisal, the foreign minister.]


WWIII anyone? Saudi Arabia is predominantly Sunni. If they get involved with Iraq, Iran will follow, and the whole region will ignite.
