"And as the Secretary said, they were the very first country -- a hundred million dollars is what they offered to Katrina victims."

Sorry we don't see eye to eye but they were also the first and second largest contributor to the Saudi's fund for the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. They contriubuted $150 million to that one. Of course I can provide documentation but I grow so tired of doing so.

I question whether the money was designated solely for the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. The Saudi Arabian government has paid out at least $33 million to families of Palestinians killed or injured in the 17-month-old intifada and in December 2001 earmarked another $50 million for the payments. Saudi Arabia sets aside $50M for 'martyrs'

The US and Western Europe were the biggest aid givers to the Palestinians. All money is fungible.
