Obama Issues Statement On The Death Of Saudi King Abdullah, Praises "Vision", US-Saudi Relationship

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Just released by the White House:

Statement by the President on the Death of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz

 

It is with deep respect that I express my personal condolences and the sympathies of the American people to the family of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz and to the people of Saudi Arabia.

 

King Abdullah’s life spanned from before the birth of modern Saudi Arabia through its emergence as a critical force within the global economy and a leader among Arab and Islamic nations.  He took bold steps in advancing the Arab Peace Initiative, an endeavor that will outlive him as an enduring contribution to the search for peace in the region.  At home, King Abdullah's vision was dedicated to the education of his people and to greater engagement with the world.

 

As our countries worked together to confront many challenges, I always valued King Abdullah’s perspective and appreciated our genuine and warm friendship.  As a leader, he was always candid and had the courage of his convictions.  One of those convictions was his steadfast and passionate belief in the importance of the U.S.-Saudi relationship as a force for stability and security in the Middle East and beyond.  The closeness and strength of the partnership between our two countries is part of King Abdullah’s legacy.

 

May God grant him peace.

And while Obama was impressed by Abdullah's vision to the "education of his people" he had no comment on the one US "ally" which has beheaded a record number of people in recent years making even ISIS blush by comarpison, as reported in US Ally, Saudi Arabia Beheads 87 In 2014, Up Over 10% From 2013 and also Record Beheadings And The Mass Arrest Of Christians.

Actually, there's a very serious tradition that every leader of consequence is taken out to a ("the") desert encampment of the King.  Tents, open fires, etc, out in the middle of fuck all nowhere, and have a feast, etc.  And yes, the men bond.  It's not an inconsequential deal.  And if you're lucky (as in a big enchilada) you get one of the eyeballs, the King the other, from the roasted goat/lamb.
Enjoy.

environmental exploitation.
hey, but on the bright side, he will never
suffer the demise of jfk, rfk or mlk.
wjc is his model and idol and he must expect
a similar longevity and payout.

What a complete fucking farce. We stand up for "free people to decide their own fate democratically" in relation to SOME Mideast states.

On the other hand, King Abdullah...."what do you say about such a great guy......" Give me a fucking break.

I guess this all jives with us proclaiming human rights and freedom when we call home to 1/4 of the worlds prisoners.

I can't wait to they have a revolution in Saudi Arabia. They are gonna fucking HATE us.

I've never been, so I'll defer to you on that.
This is definitely a debt that actually collects more and more fucking interest with each passing year until it totally blows up in our face.

Then every dumbass American can say, "why do they, like, hate us so much?"

"Well, you see, Johnny, they just hate us for our freedom."

Round and round we go!
