Saudi deputy crown prince thanks Obama as US visit ends
Al Arabiya ^ | Sunday, 26 June 2016

Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sent a cable of thanks to US President Barack Obama on Sunday as he left the United States and headed to France on an official visit.

“I am pleased as I am leaving your friendly country after the end of my official visit to extend to your Excellency my deep thanks for the warm reception and generous hospitality accorded to me and the accompanying delegation,” the Deputy Crown Prince said in his cable, carried by the state-run Saudi News Agency (SPA).

He commended the visit and said the discussions held throughout will deepen relations between both countries.

“I would like to commend again the historical and strategic relations between our two countries witnessing further development in all fields, stressing that the discussions held during the visit will contribute to deepening and strengthening these relations and enhancing the bonds of mutual cooperation to achieve the interests of our two countries and their friendly peoples under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and your Excellency.”

“I wish Your Excellency constant good health and happiness, and the friendly people of the United States of America further progress and prosperity.”

The deputy crown prince left the US for France on Sunday, where he will meet French President Francois Hollande and a number of French officials to discuss issues of common interest.

The Saudi king paid for Obummers college expenses. That is why he bows deeply to the king.

“Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sent a cable of thanks to US President Barack Obama on Sunday as he left the United States and headed to France on an official visit. “

So... did Obama go down to the telegraph office and send a response, or is he sending a letter via Pony Express ?

(apparently I don’t understand what a ‘cable’ is, given modern technology)

” Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and your Excellency.”

So, Barack is custodian of a mosque or he IS a Holy Mosque ?

I am sure Ogabe bowed and said thank you very much for destroying our nation’s oil and gas production industry.

The Saudis obviously helped the Bushes, too. They own a lot of our politicians.

did Obama get down on his “Monica kneepads” for the Crown Prince?

or was a simple deep bow enough this time?

I thought Bozo was on the left coast playing golf as the Mooch was packing her bag with disgusting outfits for another vacation with the kids and mama.

Who did the Arab speak to?

There weren't a lot of details published about this trip, just when he arrived and when he left. Not who he spoke with and the subject matter. And I don't think he met with Obama.

That's unfortunate because what is going on in Saudi Arabia may become every bit as important as the Brexit.

While a Saudi king may well have done so, it was not this king, as this king has only been on the throne for less than 5 years. Khalid would likely have been king during the requisite time frame. That was three kings ago...

Neither. The current Custodian is King Salman. A reasonable analogy would be Queen Elizabeth being "The Defender of the Faith" of the Church of England. A largely ceremonial position, however being "Keeper of the Holy Places" nets the head of the House of Saud a hefty percentage of the income generated by the pilgrimage to Mecca, which is quite considerable...

Obama still owes Americans the 28 pages he is holding from the 9/11 Report. He said he will release the 28 papges but Saudi Arabians objected. So you can guess what Obama and the Saudis discussed. Can’t you?

““I wish Your Excellency constant good health and happiness, and the friendly people of the United States of America further progress and prosperity.” “

Yeah we’re not so freakin friendly once you reveal that you consider one of our elected officials, (which are a subset of those “friendly people of the United States of America”), to be royalty.
