Why would the Saudi dictators aid in the overthrow of one of their buddies?

"Buddies" do not try to assassinate each other -- as Khadaffi tried to assassinate King Abdullah last year.

They aren’t going to do that. Give me a break. Obama just made a fool of himself in the Saudi’s eyes.

What an idiot.

It might even have worked - the Saudis might even have shipped some weapons to the rebels. They could have destabilized, maybe even toppled Momar's Libyan regime, and made a lot of money at the same time by disrupting Libyan oil production for decades.

Of course, this should have been done in strict secrecy! Conspiring with us (the GREAT SATAN) to dreate civil unrest and murder fellow Muslims (even those of a different sect) won't go down too well in the Arab street.

Don't know who spilled the beans, but this idea will now be considered radioactive by the House of Saud.

Don’t let Obama fool you. He asked the Saudi’s to goive Libyan rebels weapons because he hasn’t got the gnads or the political courage to do it himself.

He is voting present again.

Saudis and Libya not buddy’s. Yet Muslim Brotherhood and White House are. I do not think MB and Saudi Royal family see eye to eye do they?

Obama is mad King Abdullah did not give him enough gifts $300,000.00 in rare books, trinkets, $190,000 in rare gems and jewels for his daughters and $132,000 ring for Michelle.

So Obama has decided to take his redistribute the wealth on a broader spectrum Globally.

Just wonder has the fatwah been issued on Obama. The muslim assassins may be lining up soon. Pitting the Sunni after the Shia. Not like they do not hate one another already. The Shia lead by Iran and the Sunni lead by King Abdullah, great Israel is in the mix. Plus the soldiers are in Iraq and afghanistan.

Let the Libyans fight it out.

Abdullah will probably tell Obama - FUBO and the camel you rode in on. Who knows maybe Abdullah will have his nephew whom owns partial interest in FoxNews release the whereabouts in Kenya Obama was born. Seems Obama pissing off Qaddaffi may cause him to get ticked off too.

So now Obama has decided to increase the cisis cause oil prices to rise, and cause more havoc with the uS economy.

Does anyone think this has to do with the issue of his being a natural Born Citizen Case in Conference in the US Supreme Court, Kagan and Sotomayor having recused themselves. Enquiring minds want to know.

He asked the Saudi’s to give Libyan rebels weapons because he hasn’t got the gonads or the political courage to do it himself.

Perhaps, but if he was really attempting to topple Momar he sc**ed up totally. Momar can now blame the uprising on outside agitators, claim the moral high ground and, with the proper PR cover, brutally crush the rebellion.

Saudi Arabia will be seen as puppets of the west, and its rulers should expect rebellion in their own streets.

As as said before, what an idiot (unless that's what he planned to do all along).
