Kindasleazy Rice is in the Middle East attempting to jump start the faux peace process plan for Israel and Palestine. But while she's doing that, the Saudis (the Bush family's most loyal friends in the region) have snubbed the White House over a State dinner. Note that later on in that article, Jordan is also snubbing the Bush administration. What's going on when your close allies and friends say, "Not tonight. I've got a headache?" It can't be good for this administration's diplomacy plans. I wonder if they're working with Iran on a plan for carving up Iraq and avoiding a worse civil war?
