I guess the meeting of the US commander
Posted by Hunter on October 17, 2002 at 06:07:39:
I guess the meeting of the US commander Franks with his Saudi Arabian
colleague was meant to dispel the fears of Riyadh, which were caused by the
information leaked from a secret Pentagon meeting. According to it Saudi Arabia
was defined as America’s enemy state. There were plans to seize the
country’s oil fields and arrest its accounts in foreign banks. In return
Riyadh has demanded the withdrawal of 6 thousand US troops from its territory
and refused to support Washington in any of its planned military operations
against Muslim countries, including the one against Iraq. The gap between the
two countries grows with each day and I am not sure America is able to change
anything: Bush’s foreign policy is too bold and embarrassing.
