It's pretty obvious why Prince Abdullah visited the Chimperor now

Looks like Prince Abdullah is probably going to be King Abdullah pretty soon. Expect explosive violence in Saudi Arabia soon.

1. yup reading the article its pretty transparent.

the old king is already dead or close to it and abdorkus had to show how "west friendly" he is by hugging, kissing and strolling hand in hand with hitler jr.

what a load.

2. Hoo boy, hold onto your hats!

Did we really need for things to get any more interesting?

3. He Had to Give **...

...his marching orders. He & cheney worked them out the night before!

7. This will NEVER make U.S. MSM

Not until Fahd is pronounced dead and the connection between the Abdullah handholding smoochfest will NEVER EVER be reported in the U.S. MSM.

5. Guess that explains the hand-holding, the kisses, and admiring the

"state" flower as well. Unfortunately, for me, it will take some time before I'm ever able to get that damned picture out of my mind, and God knows how much I love fields of bluebonnets.

6. Ayup, it was all a show for the folks back home

I betcha nobody in the MSM touches this with a ten foot pole. It's better that Bush appears to be a "girlie man" to his sycophants than for the truth to come out.

11. You're absolutely right. All that hand-holding was for Saudi Arabian

consumption. Bush was willing to put up the expected jokes and derision here in order to prop up "his" preferred "candidate" for Crown Prince. I kept wondering why, knowing his base's homophobia, he did it. Light dawns.

8. Fascinating!

Isn't it interesting that oil is headed down - it couldn't be a bit of market manipulation ahead of the announcement, now, could it?

[leftofthedial]

9. the crime families want to make sure there is no turf war

when they announce that Allah has rubbed out Fahd "The Pump" Saudiletti.

10. How will the BA convince the public to send soldiers to prop up a KING?

Good luck w/that, GW. Goooooooood luck.

12. Queen George?
