Did Cheney Ask the Saudis for Secret Money with which to secretly attack Iran?

That is, did VP Cheney Seek Secret Money
from the Saudis to Circumvent Congressional Oversight?

VP Cheney's very quick visit to visit King Abdullah in Saudi Arabia on Nov. 25, ’06, reminds me of high level U.S. contacts with the Saudis almost twenty years ago, to secure secret funding from the Saudi's for secret and controversial U.S. wars.

That is, was Cheney, in meeting with the Saudi King, trying to set up, or firm up a secret commitment by the Saudis to fund a covert war, or covert operations, against Iran, just as the U.S. had gotten secret money from the Saudis in the 1980s to fund the war against the Soviets in Afghanistan, and to help the Contras against Nicaragua?

Here's a Couple of Timeline Items:

1. In 1984 Ronald Reagan's National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane went to Saudi Ambassador Bandar’s apartment on the Potomac
and asked him to secretly fund the Contras.

It worked. Soon the Saudi royalty was sending $1 million
a month to the CIA’s contras.

The Saudis were also helping the CIA, very secretly, with
the Afghan war

2. In early 1985 CIA head William Casey traveled in a big C-141 Starlifter
“a kind of flying hotel with a planetary-range communications center”

flying to Saudi Arabia
because the Saudi’s were late with their
$250,000,000 payment for the CIA's Afghan war.

Casey also hit on the Saudi king for
help in Iran and the Contra war.

Writer George Crile says that King Fahd was giving $1 a month,
as a favor to Ronald Reagan, to the Contras

Can we trust Dick Cheney NOT to try to attack Iran, and to seek the proven money of the Saudis, if his urge for gore demands it?

No.
