and used a translator, lingered
in their meetings and a drive in
Bush’s pickup truck through
the woods of his Prairie
Chapel Ranch.
“One of the really positive
things out of this meeting is the
fact the crown prince and I
established a strong personal
bond,” Bush said. “We’ve
spent a lot of time alone dis
cussing our respective visions,
talking about our families.”
The Israeli-Palestinian crisis
dominated Bush’s first face-to-
face meeting with Abdullah.
“There is a shared vision,”
the president said, adding that
they discussed possible next
steps in implementing a Saudi
peace plan championed by
Abdullah and endorsed by the
22-member Arab League.
The crown prince, who
rarely comments to the media,
left without public comment.
Bush said his demand that
Israel withdraw from
Palestinian areas still stands: “I
made it clear to him that I
expected Israel to withdraw,
just like I've made it clear to
Israel. And we expect them to
be finished.” He also said Israel
must resolve standoffs in
Ramallah and Bethlehem “in a
nonviolent way.”
Bush said he was grateful
for Abdullah’s assurance that
Saudi Arabia would not support
any other angry Arab states
joining Iraq’s oil embargo.
The two leaders met inside
Bush’s ranch home, talked over
lunch and then set out in his
truck to explore the 1,600
acres’ wooded canyons dotted
with Texas bluebonnets and
wild pink poppies.
Given rising U.S.-Saudi ten
sions, White House officials
had made contingency plans for
the visit to be cut short. Instead,
the crown prince lingered more
than two hours over schedule.
In a business suit and cowboy
boots. Bush opened the visit with
the kind of formality he normal
ly leaves at the Texas state line.
He welcomed Abdullah, who
wore a flowing brown robe, with
a long handshake and quiet
exchange.of pleasantries.
The crown prince, whom
Bush addressed all day as
“Your Royal Highness,” bore a
warning that Bush’s apparent
tolerance of Israeli military
offensives against Palestinians
had damaged prospects for
Mideast peace.
“We believe the administra
tion could have been stronger
on Sharon, made it clearer to
him that negotiations cannot be
done under the barrel of a gun,”
Nail Al-Jubeir, a spokesman for
the Saudi Embassy, told
reporters here.
Sharon has kept Palestinian
leader Yasser Arafat under virtu
al house arrest in the West Bank
while Israeli forces, in defiance
of Bush’s own April 4 demands,
press forward in a bloody hunt
for Palestinian terrorists.
The crown prince brought a
message, his spokesman said:
“Sharon has been acting up,
and the U.S. government needs
to rein him in. We cannot main
tain the peace process with this
stuff going on.”
Some oil prices surged
Thursday on fears tlmt
Abdullah would threaten to
choke off Saudi oil to the
United States. Al-Jubeir denied
that. ”We’ve always been a
reliable source of oil. and we’ll
continue to be,” he said.
Further straining the U.S.-
Saudi relationship — at a time
when Bush is trying to stick to a
zero-tolerance policy against ter
rorists — are recent displays of
Saudi support for Palestinian sui
cide bombings of Israeli civilians.
A senior administration offi
cial briefing reporters after
Thursday's talks said Bush
raised general concerns about
inciting anti-Israel terror.
Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to
Britain published a poem prais
ing Palestinian suicide bombers
as “martyrs” and the Saudi gov
ernment sponsored a telethon
that collected $100 million to
help the bombers’ families.
Secretary of State Colin Powell
testified to the Senate this week
that some of that money may
have gone to elements of the
militant Hamas organization.
The leaders reached no deci
sion on a Mideast peace confer
ence. On expanding the anti
terror war into Iraq, which Arab
nations are resisting. Bush
spoke of Saddam Hussein as a
serious menace, the official
said, and they discussed ideas
of what to do about him.
With Abdullah remaining in
the United States a couple more
days. White House officials
said they would continue to
tend to the relationship. On
Friday, Abdullah was taking a
train with Bush’s father, the
first President Bush, from
Houston to College Station,
Texas, for lunch.
