— Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia is expected to tell President Bush in stark terms at their meeting on Thursday that the strategic relationship between their two countries will be threatened if Mr. Bush does not moderate his support for Israel's military policies, a person familiar with the Saudi's thinking said today.

You know, as far as I am concerned this doesn't even qualify as news. He is "expected" to tell Bush this? By WHOM? Note that there is the usual unnamed source.

I think I will start making up my own news, just like the Times.

Ediitors were expected to tell Patrick Tyler that his services as a reporter were sadly lalcking and no longer required, a person familiar with the New York Times's management said today.

I hope so, but they are emboldened by the failure to get ANWR drilling passed in the Senate.

Why can't we insist that Sharon withdraw, that Palestine become an autonomous state with NO occupation or Israeli settlers? What is wrong with that? Israeli should not have made those incursions. The Palestinians are hopelessly desperate. We need allies when we go after Saddam. We need oil to go after Saddam. We don't need to kiss Saudi behinds, but we need the middle east fixed and fixed soon.
