This seems to suggest that the Saudis are allies of the neocons.

If the meeting does take place, it will mark a drastic change in course for the Bush administration which has been under the control of the neo-con factions that have attempted to push the United States into a war with both Syria and Iran. A Bush-Syrian meeting also puts into question what Dick Cheney is actually up to in the Middle East, scheduling a surprise visit to Iraq with a side trip to Saudi Arabia. With Cheney in Saudi Arabia, there may be an attempt by remaining neocon forces in the Bush administration to scuttle the opening dialogue with Damascus and Tehran. The presence of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in Jordan this week may also involve setting the stage for the Bush-Syrian meeting next week although it has been billed as a visit to jump start Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.
