Kerry Hits Bush 'Sweetheart' Ties with Saudis

By Patricia Wilson

LAKE WORTH, Fla. (Reuters) - Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites) on Monday voiced unwavering support for special U.S. ties with Israel and vowed to end "sweetheart relationships" with Arab countries like Saudi Arabia that he said funded terror.

Courting the Jewish vote in Florida, the state at the center of the disputed 2000 election, the presumptive Democratic nominee cited a report that President Bush (news - web sites) and his senior advisers made "a secret White House deal" with the Saudis to deliver lower gas prices.

"Last night ... it was reported that in the Oval Office discussion around whether to invade Iraq (news - web sites) that the president, the vice president (Dick Cheney (news - web sites)), the secretary of defense (Donald Rumsfeld) made a deal with Saudi Arabia that would deliver lower gas prices," Kerry told a town hall meeting in Lake Worth.

"But here's the catch," he said. "The American people would have to wait until the election, until November of 2004."
