Saudi Arabia is satisfied with assurances from US President Barack Obama about the Iran nuclear deal and believes the agreement will contribute to security and stability in the Middle East, a senior Saudi official said.

Saudi King Salman met Mr Obama at the White House last Friday to seek more support in countering Iran, and the US administration, on its part, aimed to use the visit to shore up relations after a period of tensions.

The visit is the King's first to the United States since ascending to the throne in January, and comes after Washington agreed to a nuclear deal with Teheran in July.

Saudi Arabia was "vehemently" against the Iran nuclear deal. Then today they embraced it. What happened? What did we give them to endorse?

[dfwgator]

I suspect Saudi Arabia supported it all along. Muslims unite when it matters.

[DoughtyOne]

Yep, that’s the question.

Saudi Arabia was so against the deal, they were rumored to be seeking to buy nukes for themselves.

Now they like the idea of Iran having nukes?

What’s up with that?

[Azeem]

“What did we give them to endorse?”

More weapons from the U.S. and the word of Iran that only Israel will get nuked.

[jimbo123]

Obama is giving them our money to bail out their collapsing oil economy.

[dfwgator]

The Saudis have been playing us like a fiddle for years.

[DoughtyOne]

The didn’t unite to support Hussein.

There’s something up here, and I don’t like it.

What nation in the region did Obama promise to sell out? Hmmm...

[DoughtyOne]

Could be monetary...

I’m thinking it’s more like a promise to abandon Israel.

[Fungi]

That’s my take too. Something is rotten in Mecca.

I hope the king is enjoying his stay at the Georgetown 4 Seasons: he rented the whole hotel!

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks Fungi...

Seems rather obvious.

[Truth29]

Maybe Obama promised to turn the US Wahhabi Muslim. They are fools to trust him regardless; he might well sell them out to Iran.

I imagine Obonzo told the Saudis that Iran would only nuke Israel and the U.S. and probably wouldn’t nuke other Muzzies.

[SunkenCiv]

"I Can't Believe They Fell For It! Oh, and Death to America!"

[Fiddlstix]

Because 0bozo assured them that all nuclear weapons developed would only be deployed against Israel and the USA!
That's why they accept it now.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The worst “deals” I’ve ever seen were made by used car salesmen. Would you buy a used car from Obonzo, Hanoi Boi or anyone at the UN?

[faithhopecharity]

Saudis experts at saying one thing and doing another. Watch for nuclear bombs purchased from paki or north korea. Soon

Saudis don’t care what they say to Obama. Probably they’ll get some ships or something from him. But they will get nukes from wherever they wish to stave off Iran taking over the oil fields. And soon.
