Our good friends, the Saudis

Stories like this just make my blood boil: http://today.reuters.com/news/CrisesArticle.aspx?storyId=L02695822. Saudi clerics, who don't take a crap without an explicit okay from the Saudi government, have made it a point of telling Palestinians that they should not give up "jihad" (translation: TERRORISM) against Israel.

Everytime I read something like this, I think back to the President strolling around holding the Saudi King's hand. President Bush once showed moral clarity. Agree or disagree with him, at least you knew where he stood. Now, he's just another politician, doing what is expedient, and while he is a hell of a lot better than anyone on the Democratic side, he's completely lost my respect.
