Saudi Ambassador Abruptly Resigns, Leaves Washington - washingtonpost.com

First Bandar (Bush) leaves because he is depressed, according the Saudis, now al-Faisal just ups and quits.

What the hell is really going on?

After-all, Cheney was "summoned" to the Kingdom just a few weeks ago. Did old Dead-eye piss off the Saudis?

Saudi Ambassador Abruptly Resigns, Leaves Washington - washingtonpost.com:

Prince Turki al-Faisal, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States, flew out of Washington yesterday after informing Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and his staff that he would be leaving the post after only 15 months on the job, according to U.S. officials and foreign envoys. There has been no formal announcement from the kingdom.

The abrupt departure is particularly striking because his predecessor, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, spent 22 years on the job. The Saudi ambassador is one of the most influential diplomatic positions in Washington and is arguably the most important overseas post for the oil-rich desert kingdom.
