Hopefully Hillary Clinton won’t be caught on tape laughing about this death too.

Prince Nayef was Interior Minister in the early 80s. He issued a proclamation forbidding the Belgians from hosting evening Masses in the courtyard of their embassy.

With all the money in the world available to him he came to New York for medical treatment.

The 83-year-old, who was heir to the Saudi throne, had suffered various health issues in recent years and had been treated for cancer at a New York hospital in 2009.

According to the BBC he is believed to have been in New York City when he passed away yesterday.

A separate report said his plane was preparing to leave JFK airport to take the body home.

I don’t think so. With his approval ratings so low he will probably be bowing publically to Soros with 2012 on the way.

Correct, and I am certain the Saudis knew this was coming. The Crow Prince’s death did not capture them by surprise.

“King”, “Prince”, “Crown”. LOLOL! These fat doofuses were just camel jockeys when the U.S. hand picked them to preside over the oil empire we made possible. There is no “royalty” there. What a sick joke on the world.

That’s what I was thinking. We’ve alienated just about every ally in the War on Terror that we’ve ever had, and we’ve got Hillary saying (basically) “We killed our enemy-turned-ally Gadhaffi and gave his land to the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda; who’s next?”

Lord help us!

This reminds me of the 12th Imam Prophecies that Ahmadinejad always yells about. One of the final signs of Imam Al-Mahdi’s (Satan’s) return was the death of Saudi King Abdullah.

I wonder what this will mean for the stability of Saudi Arabia?

Well, it's sure not going to help any as far as I can see.

I’m worried about what Iran will do. The U.S. has shown itself to be an unreliable ally in the Middle East, we are taking our combat troops out of Iraq, and Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister and heir apparent is now dead. They must be celebrating in Teheran.

We’ll invite him over for some Purim pastries, and promise to only use O+ in the batter.
