Saudi Arabia’s King Salman will skip a May 14 summit of Persian Gulf leaders with President Barack Obama, The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.

At the summit Obama is expected to offer the Gulf leaders reassurances over the efforts to reach a nuclear deal with Iran.

The decision marks a diplomatic snub from one of the top leaders in the region, and follows U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s visit to the Saudi capital last week, noted the report. […]

Arab governments have been expressing their concern about the terms of a potential nuclear deal with Iran. The major Sunni states have warned that a final agreement could allow Shiite-dominated Iran, their regional rival, to keep the technologies needed to produce nuclear weapons. …

Saudi “royals” funded and supported the 9-11 attacks.

And that has exactly what to do with my sarcastic comment about the liberal American press? Mind you, I agree with your statement, it’s just that it’s a non sequitur.

I can’t imagine the Saudi King wanting to pass up another chance for the world to laugh at our nine year old level president, as he bows from the waist.

Please provide a basis for saying the Saudi ‘royals’ supported the 09/11/2001 attacks.

Thanks.

It would have been the old one two. A bow from the waist, and a kiss on the ring. Next, a pat on the head from the King. Then, both off to evening prayers.

Just wait ‘til Obama realizes this is a, “Gulf summit,” and not a, “Golf summit.”

Saudi King Salman will meet with his underlings when HE decides to, and not at the behest of a subservient Sunni lickspittle like Obama.

Well you know, Barry can't help it, that's what he was used to doing in the bathhouses.

If Obama ever reads about this in the newspaper, he’s going to be upset ...

Maybe because they called it the Persian Gulf?
(It’s the Arabian Gulf on the Saudi side)

I love seeing Obama snubbed, although with his ego, he’s blaming someone else. We’ll probably find out who in a few days. A statement will ensue from the Kremlin, er, I mean White House.

All of America's allies know Obama’s America is now a wobbly-kneed, irrelevant force to be reckoned with. Obama turned his back on most of America's allies and embraced America's worst enemies. For better or worse, the Saudis are an ally, well sort of. STABLE countries in the Middle East, (actually, not plural) I mean, Israel is a staunch and ONLY Democratic ally has been betrayed and vilified by the Obama administration so we see even a friend like Netanyahu pushing back, something never before seen on this scale.
In short, Obama has alienated all of our friends, no wonder they are giving him the finger on a regular basis now. We need REGIME CHANGE here, NOW!
