Obviously related to the illness. Must be series.

King Fraud has been in a persistent vegetative state for years.

When I was in the Kingdom in the '80s, we reverently referred to him "Fart Hard".

[blam]

"I'm trying to understand this. The King is very old and has been in ill health for a long time. It is not surprising that he is hospitalized. His son has been in charge for a long time now so I don't get why this would precipitate an alert. I'm sure I'm missing something."

I agree. I think I've been seeing 'hints' of something in the works for quite a while now, nothing exactly that I can put my finger on but, it does involve us. Maybe Iran? Syria?

[redgolum]

They maybe worried about a coup.

Actually, Crown Prince Abdullah, the guy who's been running the show since King Fahd's incapacitation, is Fahd's brother. Abdullah has also been in poor health for some time. At this point, his loss would be more of a cause for panic.

True, but what I have read in the past is that there is a struggle going on between King Fahd's brother and his son for who will control the kingdom.

The kingdom is on pretty shaky ground to begin with from its people, and top that with the death of the king and an internal power struggle and you have a volatile mix.

There is a good reason the CIA calls these princes dead men walking.

4000 I've heard. Don't know if that's accurate.

Reporter: A Saudi prince said...

Rummy: Do you have any idea how many Saudi princes there are?

Reporter: A major Saudi prince said...

Rummy: Now you've made the rest of 'em feel bad!

[Rockitz]

So much for that temporary dip in gasoline prices....

[cymeckajax3]

They are probably geting ready for a funeral. Honor guard, crowd control etc.

[ConservativeMan55]

Yep.....

I guess George Felos found work in Saudi Arabia.

[RetiredArmy]

Quick, someone find an undesecrated copy of the Koran.

[HonestConservative]

Thanks, Love Rummey

[EGPWS]

Obviously related to the illness.

That statement leaves open many avenues of discussion..... ; )

[Enchante]

"some Saudi's will blame the US for his death. And we all know how much Saudi's love the good USA."


Wish they'd sent him to Paris for medical treatment - then the Jihadists could all riot agains the French and maybe some of the French would start to realize they are on a path to destruction at the hands of the Islamo-fascists....

[Brytani]

Realize the problem? All the French would do is surrender.

[Grammy]

Look! You're official!

[Cinnamon]

we need to be on alert too.. wahabism priests might try pull a fast coupe de ta

[massgopguy]

Prince Haig.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The sooooo self-righteoursly religous Saudis on holiday in Bankok will have to get off their child-prostitutes (both male and female) and sober up before they can come home.
