WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Saudi Arabia has told the Bush administration that it might provide financial backing to Iraqi Sunnis in a war against Iraqi Shiites if the United States withdraws from Iraq, The New York Times reported on Tuesday, citing American and Arab diplomats.
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia delivered that message to Dick Cheney during the U.S. vice president's brief visit last month to Riyadh, the newspaper said, citing the officials it did not name.
Cheney traveled to Saudi Arabia, a close U.S. ally and the world's top oil exporter, to discuss Iraq and how to break the deadlock in the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The Saudis have argued strenuously against a U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq, voicing fears that Iraq's minority Sunni population would be massacred, the newspaper said.
....now what this report doesn't say is that, none of the Saudi Royals would go camel hunting with Cheney..!
Saudis may back Sunnis
