Ye haw!
Go Saudi Arabia, stick it to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, tell her to get lost and go back to the kitchen where she belongs.
This, coupled with Iraq's Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari angrily rejecting Bush's "sectarian warning" to shun sectarianism in the country's new government yesterday may be the straw that have broken the camels (Bush administration's) back.

Saudis won't sign on to U.S. isolation of Hamas
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Saudi Arabia refused Wednesday to join an American effort to deny foreign aid to a Palestinian government led by Hamas, the second Arab ally in two days to rebuff Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
"We wish not to link the international aid to the Palestinian people to considerations other than their dire humanitarian needs," Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal said through a translator.

The top U.S. diplomat is making her first visit to the Middle East since Hamas swept Palestinian elections last month, stunning Washington and threatening the already fragile Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
Both Saud and Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said the world should not prejudge Hamas, signaling that the Arab world, like some European countries and Russia, is hedging its bets about whether and when to sever financial ties that keep the cash-strapped Palestinian government afloat.
The Saudis told the United States on Wednesday that they plan to continue sending approximately $15 million monthly to the Palestinian government, U.S. officials said on condition of anonymity because the discussions were private.
The United States and the European Union list Hamas as a terrorist organization. Arab nations generally have friendly relations with Hamas, which also has a successful political arm...
