Iran president sends note to Saudi king


Saudis have lost faith in their oily pals; Junior and his Vice.

It is difficult for Bush to isolate someone from his own isolation cell.

Iran president sends note to Saudi king - Yahoo! News:

CAIRO, Egypt - Iran's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that he sent a message to Saudi King Abdullah proposing that they cooperate in helping stabilize Iraq.

Ahmadinejad's comments came as Washington is trying to rally its Arab allies and isolate Iran.
'

We, Saudis and other neighboring countries can help the Iraqi people to take the lead to consolidate their government's capability to stabilize and maintain security in their country,' Ahmadinejad told the Saudi-owned satellite television channel.

'I sent a message to King Abdullah in this regard and the answer, generally, was positive,' the Iranian president said in the interview taped Saturday in Venezuela, one of the countries on his Latin American tour.

Iran's top national security official, Ali Larijani, had delivered a message to Abdullah, the official Saudi Press Agency reported Sunday, but did not reveal its contents.

Iran's overture to Saudi Arabia appeared to be an attempt to counter American efforts to rally its allies in the region and isolate Tehran.
