And President Bush is planning to invite Crown Prince Abdullah, who is in charge of Saudi Arabia, and therefore responsible for such endorsements of terror, to his private home in Crawford, Texas? No person who endorses murderous attacks on civilians should ever be admitted to the United States. Bush is drifting further into moral incoherence in his attempt to maintain some sort of relations with people who are living in the 6th Century.

This evening, Fox News Channel (We Report, You Decide) has been ginning the story that Iraq has been supporting Palestinean suicide bombers, when the above citations from http://www.saudiembassy.net/ make it eminently clear that the Saudis are supporting and coddling the suicide terrorists of Ramallah who call themselves "martys."

Monday, April 01, 2002 WASHINGTON — The Bush administration accused Iran, Iraq and Syria of fomenting terror while it urged Yasser Arafat on Monday to ban suicide attacks and Israel to "carefully consider the consequences" of its military thrust into Ramallah.

The multifaceted message emerged after President Bush met at the White House with Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and, by video linkup, Vice President Dick Cheney.

Clear shadings of emphasis emerged from the various parts of the administration.

Bush and his spokesman, Ari Fleischer, focused on Arafat, demanding the Palestinian leader denounce terror. The State Department delivered a more evenhanded lecture to Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

At the Pentagon, Rumsfeld offered a searing indictment of Iran, Iraq and Syria as supporters of a terrorist "war on civilization."
