what do you expect? the Saudi royals are muslims! They can believe what they want ... just keep that oil coming. The Saudi royals are good compared to ISIS and are not invading Iraq

“We don’t care if they follow ours. That is the distinction.”

Then caring is proof that they judge themselves superior. Which is a fine reason not to indulge them. Especially since they often need things from us. Money, defense, etc.

Yes, good pic -- note whose hand is the leading hand, and whose hand is the being-pulled-along hand?

I have zero problem with that pic!

I must say, it's putting me in the mood to watch Lawrence of Arabia ...!!!!

Until Obama, it has always been the custom of Americans to BOW BEFORE NO KING.

Acknowledge, yes. A slight bend of the head, yes.

But since the time we broke away from the Kingdom of England, this has always been the American custom.

Until Obama....

In other Administrations this may have just been a fairly small issue. With Mr Community Destabilization running around the globe unchecked by congress this could be the M.E. crisis that breaks the camels back. An ideal time for someone making a full scale M.E. power grab now seeing a weakened USA and best chance opportunity. Interesting times.

In any case, just one more reason to build the damn pipeline and get the US off the OPEC spigot.

Hear ! Hear !

He would let you be beheaded of you opened a church or synagogue in his country.

I'm all for saying, "Sure you can stay here, but on OUR terms only" -- i.e., we can discriminate at will and ostracize them unless they adapt to OUR freedoms. They're a scourge in this nation and every other place they've gone! They can't thrive in their own places where they enforce such barbarous rot, so they move to places that are thriving because of its absence -- and demand a place at the table. Screw that.

The Crusades happened for a reason.

Oh no doubt he’s ‘a moving and a shaking’ for the Sauds....

There’s others too “on the margins” throughout the International Leaders and world....

One specific character is hoping to upseat Putin. These will be the “new Leaders creating real issues!

The only reason Sauds remain our friends is the oil...and military co-operation when push comes to shove for our guys to act.

TAs long as they remain our “friend” we can keep iran from taking over....otherwise....Shities will have their way.

0 was not raised with American values.

0 was not taught about Revolutionary War American slogan: “No King but King Jesus”.

This is why 0 bowed before the Saudi king, and other monarchs.

I guess he will bow before this new Saudi king also.

Abdullah: You know George Junior, my countrymen planned, financed, carried out and then wildly celebrated 9-11, the most lethal foreign attack ever on your homeland. But what gives me even more satisfaction is you walking me around like one of my servants back home.

Bush: Does it please Your Highness that I allowed all of your extended royal family to leave the USA on private flights with no FBI interviews, expanded visas for Saudi students, and kept the broader role of Saudis in 9-11 classified?

Abdullah: Shut up servant.

I noted that as well...make no mistake Bush at least knew what prtocal was and unshammedly entertained those courtisies...while maintaining his authority...and they “respected” him...

No World leaders repect BO...they tolerate him!...meanwhile nations are simply doing their own thing regardless of how Obama sees things.....so he has to strongarm them to co-operate...

Let’s see.

Egypt; Arab Spring initially hailed as progress, the power vacuum brought in the muslim brotherhood (welcomed by 0bama), now controlled by a western educated military leader and is seemingly stable?

Lybia; The ouster of Qu-daffi-duck was led by 0bama, in the power vacuum that followed it has been taken over by islamic crazies.

Iraq; Stabilized by US forces, 0bama pulls out and in the power vacuum it is being over run by islamic crazies

Syria; No one really knows 0bama’s policy, but in action has created a power vacuum in which large portions of the country are controlled by islamic crazies

The list goes on and on.

I have no doubt that the Iranian backed Shiites will take complete control of Yemen in short order.

As far as the Saudis go, we are only at step one of the two step dance into chaos.

Question, will the Saudis allow the Sunni’s from Yemen into their country as they attempt to escape certain death at the hands of the Shiites?
