Saudis Deny Reported Offer of Aid to Iraqi Sunnis

Saudi Arabia has told the White House that if U.S. troops withdraw from Iraq, the Saudis may provide financial aid to Iraq's Sunni Muslim minority, according to a New York Times report.

Michele Norris talks with Gregory Gause, director of the Middle East Studies Program at the University of Vermont.
