Saudi King Fahd has been rushed to hospital, as per just breaking report heard on CFRB1010am News Radio (Toronto). Saudi press saying people should "pray for him." That's all right now.
I will update as more info becomes available. Everyone else welcome to do the same.
You'd think he'd go ahead and die so that he could get his 72 virgins.
Sounds like pneumonia...which is a leading cause of death among old people.
Pneumonia. Could be anything.
I seem to recall Taki or another writer saying that the king was so fat that he could not walk.
Here's wishing him a long and excruciatingly painful demise.
What happened? F15Eagle just got banned!!! I checked his profile and it says it's been "banned or suspended!" What's the deal?
Yep,
he's had one foot in the grave for a vvveeerrryyyy long time.
Not quite. Bin Laden has called for the assassination of the Saudi royal family for years. He might be an Islamist, but certainly has no connection with Al Qaeda.
I suggest...
formaldehyde!
He probably tripped on his dress. Fine with me; another Moo despot circling the drain.
Probably ate too much camel dung pie. NSNR
Sounds like sepsis. The end is near. May he suffer long.
I'm pretty sure it's congestive heart failure, and he's going to have a bypass. I can't reveal my sources, but feel free to rub it in my face later if they're wrong.
Power goes like this: Father to brothers. Father to Uncles on his father's side. Father to sons of first wife. Father to sons of other wives (four wives are the Max) Father to illegitimate sons. Father to Grandsons of first wife's son's. Ect. Then brother to brother of first wife. And it goes on and on and on. And each relationship is defined by tradition.
What's happening now is a big deal.
The family on the "outs" says "in" males are immoral, decadent and western. They accuse the men of having three wives and leaving the 4th slot open for prostitutes - women they marry at midnight and divorce at 8AM. And there's more, but you get the idea. It's not pretty.
There's infighting, massive amounts of money and lots of power to fight over. And it's family. To understand think of a rich grandfather dying in this country without a will and 800 family members who are willing to fight to the death to get what they consider their share. I'm concerned.
King Fahd's beem a friend to the United States. And he's been a good ruler to his people. He's not the problem in Saudia Arabia.
Yasser Arafat called me today. he said King Fahd is dead. Oh wait, but I got a call from PLO, PLO says he is ai'ght. /end sarcasm
72 Virgins aka raisins are waiting for him!
Looks like Zarqawi may get his 72 Virgins pretty soon.
I don't care about King Fahd or the pedophile of the violent book of Jihad. As far as I am concerned, they both are flushable. :)
No good news can come from people whose source is an evil violent book of Jihad.
