Saudi Propaganda Services: Pleasing Bush. So as Saudi Arabia and Arab governments instigated and inflamed Arab/Muslims passions about the Danish cartoons because Denmark (which gives the highest percentage of foreign aid per capita) is an easy target, new Bush orders were issued to these governments. The Bush administration ordered Arab governments to cool it. So Saudi Arabia was quick to comply. So the Saudi newspapers lied: they printed the one statement by the Danish newspaper and falsely claimed that this was offered as a "second apology." Even the Danish newspaper has pointed out the lie.
