Friends And Family, Now And For Ever

I have noticed that the neocon party line is now apparently that Bush and the Saudis are on opposite sides. Even by their standards, they really are going to have to do better than that. Bush and the ghastly House of Saud are everything short of being related, and are indeed more closely connected financially and politically than many people who are. I thought everyone knew that. They certainly used to. What has changed? Not anything in Washington or Riyadh, that's for sure.
