All is not well in the happy, happy middle east......

The Saudis are acting as a self interested go between for the US and Iran on both Lebanon and Iraq, and the meeting yesterday sounds like a disaster.

A statement was issued, but notice its terseness, and the fact that it was only issued by one side. No joint appearance.

Without elaboration, Prince Saud al-Faisal, the Saudi foreign minister, told Reuters, “The two parties have agreed to stop any attempt aimed at spreading sectarian strife in the region.”.....

Mr. Ahmadinejad departed late Saturday night, the Saudi Press Agency reported, after about eight hours on the ground, despite initial plans for him to leave on Sunday.

Not good.
