Just hours after President Bush reportedly assured Saudi chief of state Crown Prince Abdullah of the "eternal friendship" between the U.S. and the Saudi kingdom on Tuesday, the kingdom's leading English language newspaper Arab News published a cartoon on its Web site trashing Vice President Dick Cheney as an Israeli puppet.
 
Juxtaposed next to a favorable report on President Bush's meeting with Saudi U.S. ambassador Prince Bandar bin Sultan at Bush's Crawford, Tx. ranch, ArabNews.com's "Daily Cartoon" for Wednesday shows Cheney ripping a photo of Saddam Hussein in half as an antenna protrudes from his head. http://www.arabnews.com/system/html/cartoon/280802.jpg
 
Cheney's antenna is depicted as receiving its signal from a remote control panel operated by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. The caption above Cheney reads:
 
"It is not necessary to obtain permission from Congress to hit Iraq... Only from the Knesset."
 
Speaking to a veterans group Monday, Cheney warned that the U.S. would not wait till Saddam Hussein had obtained nuclear weapons to take action against Iraq.
 
In contrast to the anti-Cheney cartoon, an accompanying ArabNews.com report touts President Bush's warm telephone conversation with Prince Abdullah on Tuesday.
 
"US President George W. Bush yesterday called Prince Abdullah, the regent, by telephone to reaffirm the 'eternal friendship' between the United States and Saudi Arabia," ArabNews.com said.
