Has W pissed Off The Saudis?
http://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2007/03/has-w-pissed-off-saudis.html

Saudi Arabian King Abdullah at an Arab summit, called for an end to the Palestinian blockade. Then he bowed out of a big-deal state dinner at the White House that had been scheduled for April 16. This, despite the fact that he is a Bush family friend, and despite the fact that he can't really come up with a good excuse for non-attendance.

Even the Saudis are treating Dubya as though he were radioactive!

5. Could it be more play acting? Hard to tell what is the truth and what is propaganda.
