Uncalled for bigotry.
He's been gravely ill since suffering a major stroke in 1995. Because of that his half-brother Crown Prince Abdullah, has served as de facto regent. Fahd was hospitalized in May in serious condition and has been there since. He was probably 82 at the time of his death.

Uncalled for bigotry.No, ironic humor. Everything that goes wrong in the Arab world is blamed on Israel, including bad breath in goats.

Uncalled for bigotry. Hardly uncalled for, and the only bigotry is from the crazed Muslims. Look at all of the conspiracy theories that came out after Arafat checked into hell. Are you even paying attention?

Abdullah has been running things for a while. He's the least Western friendly prince. Not the best thing for us but him taking over does seem like the most stable change they can get under the current system.
Saudi US ambassador Prince Bandar would be the best for us and it was theorized that the rest of the princes would pass over Abdullah and pick Bandar. This story isn't over yet.
Probably will raise oil prices as it seems like the market is looking for any excuse to raise them. I hope it's just a temporary spike.
