I don’t know where that hand-holding pix comes from, but Uhbama just looks like he’s the loser in the toilet-paper wedding dress contest.

This looks like the guy really running things. Hope he knows what he’s doing.

That one was taken at some “tribal ceremony” they held for him when he visited his father’s hometown in Africa, I believe.

Pneumonia 91? Is that like the Polonium 210 the Russians used in the umbrella assassinations? /h

Possibly...the New King isn't in good health either...

He does make the political rounds

Here's the father and son together

My theory is that he has been dead for a while and they just defrosted him... to make things interesting.

Yep.

For the FReepers who may not know these matters well: the Sauds and the leaders of Wahhabism have been allied for longer than we have been a country. The Sauds run the political affairs, while the Wahhabis run the the religious side, but they are for all intents and purposes inseperable. When the alliance was formed, the founder of Wahhabism extracted a promise from the founder of the Saudi dynasty to wage jihad on the unbelievers, and the alliance built on that oath stands to this day.

Now that all the old schools’ gentlemen’s agreements are dust, perhaps the sons of Saud are sincerely committed to ending the Mullahs of Iran. Guy looks pretty serious. Married? Kids?

'Prince Muqrin', another half-brother, has been named 'Crown Prince', the state-run Saudi Press Agency said. Who would be next in line if the old guy, dies who now is Kig

how many of those sons have armies?

As there won't be a civil war, all those Princes have a sufficient army for a palace revolt. The job of a King is pretty dangerous. A far greater percentage of kings succumbs to workplace accidents and acute indigestion than common men.

Sons have stronger “Passion” to be sure, but lack the wisdom years bring. Could be interesting as things go along.

Mecca is built on seven hills.
Gold, Silver, human slaves, and the wealth of the world flow to it.
The kings of the earth have bowed down to them for a long time (see photo of Obama).

Sound familiar?
If Saudi Arabia is attacked and destroyed, it would only make other countries oil worth more. Ships captains (oil tanker captains) would sit off shore wondering how it happened. Hmmmmmmmm
