That's how I view this piece of print from the New York Times.

"Bush Dispatches Envoys to Arab Capitals as Part of Iraq Plan"
"President Bush directed Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top commander in Iraq, and Ryan C. Crocker, the American ambassador to Baghdad, to stop in Saudi Arabia on their way back to Iraq from Washington to encourage the Saudis to increase their overall support for Iraq, Mr. Bush said Thursday.
You mean, like this: "Al-CIA-Duhs" Catch-and-Release Program
The president also said he had ordered senior American diplomats to the Middle East to meet leaders of Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates and urge them to reopen their embassies in Baghdad, as Bahrain did recently. Mr. Bush said that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice would attend a conference later this month in Kuwait for neighboring states and another in Stockholm for nations helping Iraq rebuild its economy.
“A stable, successful, independent Iraq is in the strategic interests of Arab nations,” Mr. Bush said at the White House. “And all who want peace in the Middle East should support a stable, democratic Iraq.”
The guy.... sigh!!!!
Coming at the end of a week that featured the Congressional testimony of General Petraeus and Mr. Crocker defending the administration’s Iraq policy, the renewed diplomatic effort is intended to build on a quiet campaign that has been under way for months.
Several top American diplomats, military officers and intelligence officials have visited more than a dozen Middle East countries in an effort to cut the flow of foreign fighters into Iraq, General Petraeus said Thursday.
The general said that the entreaties were part of a multipronged effort to choke off what he described as the stream of money, weapons and foreign fighters who serve as suicide bombers for Al-Qaeda in Mesopotamia...."
Sigh!
