"Two days after expressing qualms about U.S. policy in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia's foreign minister gave a strong vote of confidence Friday to President Bush's approach. Prince Saud al-Faisal, Saudi Arabia's longtime foreign minister, met at the White House with Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Saud said they talked about Iraq, Iran and other issues. "I came out fully convinced that the president is doing everything that he can to bring stability and security to the region of the Middle East," Saud told reporters in the White House driveway before departing."
