Ah, there's an interesting thing. Sending the Secretary of State would likely be seen as an insult to many there.

Sooner or later, all Fahd's must come to an end.

Won't he be surprised when he finds out there are no virgins waiting for him?

I wonder if this is why Prince Bandar left his post as Ambassador to the US, to go home.

I figured when Bandar was recalled, that the King took a turn for the worst. Time to sort out succession and get their ducks in a row. The last thing they needed was riots or instability at this point.

but just what makes this clown and his protracted family royal?

IIRC it was FDR and the Brits that conspired to have this family "installed" to govern the Arabs.

That's what makes most people royal.

Let's hope succession goes smoothly,...

Hasn't Abdulah been running things for nearly a decade already?

Given the fact the Crown Prince is pretty much the true ruler of the country since King Fahd had his serious stroke over a decade ago, the succession will likely be a smooth one anyway.

Is it true the Kings half brother(who can tell with so many mommys?) has been acting ruler since 1995?

I am an amateur genealogist. I cant imagine analyzing ancestry and documenting it for these people with 22 wives.

1,000,000,000 - 1 = 999,000,000 (Well, it's a start.)

That is what I thought. In power through devine providence.
And these pukes think so highly of themselves? Bunch of thugs.

Wrong king. Wrong story but this one has a better ending all the royals eventually are killed by their subjects.
