In other Iraq news, The Washington Post is reporting the Saudi Arabian government has warned the Bush administration it might provide financial support to Iraqi Sunni groups fighting Iraqi Shiites if the U.S. pulls out of Iraq. The message was conveyed during Vice President Dick Cheney’s visit to Saudi Arabia last month. The Saudi kingdom is said to be concerned Iraqi Sunnis would face wide-scale attacks from the majority Shiites and that Iran would gain more influence. Meanwhile, the Saudi ambassador to the U.S., Turki al-Faisal, has resigned.
