Nope - you're not going to find this story on MSNBC tonight kids..nor will you find it at Reuters or CBSnews.com. But you will find it here at DEBKA and it describes how Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah apparently read the riot act to President Barack Obama concerning Iran....mind you, this was AFTER Obama bowed and submitted his country to the slimey islamist leader. Here's some of the details from the meeting:
I don't know about you but I've had it with the soft under belly of President Obama's foreign policy - I'm tired of sitting here watching a North Korean missile jet across the skies with no action taken by the U.S., before or after. I'm tired of a President sending "Happy Holidays" greetings via a video to murdering thugs in Tehran. I'm tired of being told we need to reach out to moderate Taliban. I'm tired of a leader who stammers and shuffles his feet while an American is held at gunpoint in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
And I'm tired of finding each day, a new reason to be embarrassed that we have this joke serving as our President - this is a momma's boy, a weak-kneed people pleaser ...and believe me, people like him get chewed up and spit out by the evil in this world. Unfortunately, we're all being thrown into the same pirannha pool.
On the sidelines of the G20 summit in London, Saudi King Abdullah made his views known in a face-to-face interview with the US president on April 2. The White House communiqué reported blandly: Obama and Abdullah discussed international cooperation regarding the global economy, regional political and security issues, and cooperation against terrorism.Okay, here's what I'd like to know of my readers. Did you ever think you'd see the day when the Sheriff of the World, the Cowboy country of the Unites States of America would be scolded by an ARAB country over its soft stance on terror and nuclear threats? I mean, Saudi Arabia certainly has plenty to worry about with Iran getting nuclear weapons but do they have MORE to worry about than the U.S.?
Iran was not mentioned. However, according to DEBKAfile's Middle East sources, Abdullah took the US president sternly to task over his emerging policy on Iran, Syria and Iraq, accusing him to giving the Islamic Republic free rein for its nuclear, expansionist and terrorism-sponsoring Middle East policies.
Both parties tried to keep their abrasive encounter away from the public eye and their media, although the photo attached betrays its chilly atmosphere.

Saudis also dismayed by Obama's seeming tolerance of nuclear Iran
President Barack Obama's declaration in the Turkish parliament Monday, April 6, that the US is not at war with Islam provided cold comfort in Riyadh and Cairo, where his drastic policy shift of détente with Tehran, first revealed by DEBKA-Net-Weekly last month, is causing jitters.
The Financial Times' prediction that the US "may cede to Iran's nuclear ambition" only added to the unease in the Middle East at large.

Both parties tried to keep their abrasive encounter away from the public eye and their media, although the photo attached betrays its chilly atmosphere.
The Financial Times was the first Western mainstream publication to pick up on the new pro-Iran policy trend dominating Obama's Washington: "US officials are considering whether to accept Iran's pursuit of uranium enrichment… discussing whether the US will eventually have to accept Iran's insistence on carrying out the process."
The newspaper quoted Trita Parsi, president of the National Iranian American Council as warning: "The US may still have zero as its opening position [in its dialogue with Iran], while recognizing it may not be where things stand at the end of a potential agreement."
DEBKAfile's military sources fear that Tehran has been given a free run to perfect its ability to make bombs and warheads in the shortest possible time from the moment of decision.
Our sources report that the US president's two-day stay in Ankara and his words of peace towards the Muslim world were seen in Riyadh and Cairo as ignoring the most pressing concerns of the leading Muslim Arab powers of the region.
Israeli leaders have been less reticent about their concerns. President Shimon Peres pointed out to visiting US congressmen in Jerusalem Monday that Iran has hoodwinked the entire world in its drive for a nuclear bomb whose main target would be the Jewish state; Israel's population is short of adequate means of self-defense. Deputy Chief of Staff, Maj. Gen. Dan Harel warned that a nuclear-armed Iran would shield Middle East terror groups, so magnifying the threat to Israel manifold. But, he added, the IDF was fully capable of backing up any government decision to tackle this existential threat.
Prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu diplomatically praised President Obama for his renewed commitment to Israeli security, omitting mention of Iran in the same way as he ignored the US president's demand for a Palestinian state to rise alongside Israel in his speech to parliament in Ankara. Netanyahu commented that his new government is in the process of formulating its policies. This left him an opening to dispute administration polices when he arrives in Washington on May 3.

The Saudis, while supreme jerks and terror supporters (so long as said terror happens elsewhere) are in a very sticky situation. The Shia/Sunni thing IS a lot more volatile than many would think. Especially for the Saud family as they are playing both sides of the fence. So you can be sure that they do not want the Shia bomb.
One day you will read about the 5,000 princelings being offed, but I wont be shedding any tears.
This is all I'm going to say about that -

Have a good weekend y'all -
Happy Easter
Man, I'm looking forward to 3 1/2 more years of "Bush did it too, what's the problem?!"
I mean, it's not like the left has spent the last 8 years saying that everything Bush does is a crime against humanity, and it's certainly not like Obama ran on the promise of "change" from everything of the last 8 years.
And for the record, I wish Bush would've kicked the Saudi king in the nuts every time he saw him after 9/11. So that whole "Bush did it too!" argument doens't work for me here, as I was very displeased at how Bush acted, and am no less displeased at how Obama acted.
Oh, but my "argument" wasn't copy/pasted from a mirror far right site of wonkette, so my argument probably holds no water as it's my own argument and not somebody elses.
Note: The Saudi's biggest middle east concern is Iran, Syria and the Shia in Iraq. Not Israel and the Palestinians
It’s so nice site. We love to see more on this site. Keep on updating… MonkAreRee Bali ***hgyugtuyut78
Shark, good stuff.
pyro,
I agree - the "Bush did it" line is already getting old but that's usually a common Left talking point , since they really never have a position of their own.
Monk,
Glad you stopped by.
