The Saudis did not appreciate Barack Hussein OBAMA's treasonous behavior and gave him a still lesson on how to treat friends and allies of the USA and of Saudi Arabia! http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/SAUDIS TOLD OBAMA TO BACK MUBARACK
Saudi Arabia has threatened to prop up President Mubarak if the White House tries to force a swift change of regime in Egypt. In a testy personal telephone call on January 29, King Abdullah told President Obama not to humiliate Mr Mubarak and warned that he would step in to bankroll Egypt if the US withdrew its aid programme, worth $1.5 billion annually.
America�s closest ally in the Gulf made clear that the Egyptian President must be allowed to stay on to oversee the transition towards peaceful democracy and then leave with dignity.
�Mubarak and King Abdullah are not just allies, they are close friends, and the King is not about to see his friend cast aside and humiliated,� a senior source in the Saudi capital told The Times. Two sources confirmed details of the King�s call, made four days after the...For the complete article, please go to the Times site.
Is it too ambitious or too naive to look for an honest politician? Or simply a useful one?

Let me see if I got this right..
The President of The United States had to call the King of Saudi Arabia to ask him how he (Obama) should treat the legitimate President of Egypt..
That speaks many volumes about the lack of character, maturity, loyalty and intellect of Obama.. Unfrigging believable..

Saudi King even "threatend" to cover our 1.5 billion dollar aid package to Egypt. Too bad Obama wont call his bluff. We will keep picking up the bill.

Un-freaking-believable... This article had to come from the UK, of course. How much longer until the US mainstream media start to recognize that this Keystone Kops administration is endangering the security of not only the USA, but the Middle East and the world at large?

Well, a lower cast black muslim must heed this call!
But of course, the king is correct. 0bama made the incorrect call on this, just as one would expect from a lower caste black muslim.
Islam is a terrorist organization.

Actually, I think it was the king who called the president, not the other way around. Must be great for BHO to pick up the phone and get an ass-chewin' from the king of Saudi Arabia. Especially as the king is also the grand mullah of the Wahabs, the mos radical of Muslim sects....

It appears that despots and tyrants throughout the Middle East are now quaking - in their slippers, over the thought that they will not be allowed to deny their subjects political freedom for evermore - while still receiving their huge amounts of foreign aid..
I find it funny how many people around the fire have such strong feelings about freedom - and say things like - those who would trade security - for freedom - deserve neither. But then they do the most incredible flip-flop - when the freedom they're talking about - involves the freedom of people - who live in other countries.
It's an interesting phenomena.
Freedom - is the end all - and be all. The ultimate human right.
Unless you happen to live in in other countries.
Then - many of us - don't think it's all that important.

The freedom of people in other nations, while it is certainly a good thing and to be desired, is not the highest calling of US...or Canadian....foreign policy. The security of the US is paramount. And for the security of the region, an autocrat like Mubarek who will keep the peace and protect the Canal, may be a better option than a chaotic "democracy" with one vote leading to a Muslim brotherhood theocratic dictatorship. But we don't decide these things....
and BTW....when is the world going to pay attention to the repression going on now in Belarus, which makes anything Mubarek did look like Sunday school.

I wonder if the Saudi King will hold up "OIL" shipments to the U.S. as they did to Jimmy Carter?
