At least he protected all religions, with a large Christian and Yadzi community.

This is not true, it is my personal opinion," he wrote.</p> <p>Faisal bin Farhan, a senior adviser at the Saudi Embassy in Washington DC, said on his official Twitter account Sunday that the op-ed "did not reflect the thinking of the Saudi leadership."</p> <p>The Saudi Embassy in Washington offered a milder statement in a tweet on Sunday.</p> <p>"To help clarify recently issued Saudi statement, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia extends its appreciation to all, including the US administration, for refraining from jumping to conclusions on the ongoing investigation," the statement said.</p> </blockquote> <p>But that is virtually their only talent? And even then, they can never get that making purring noises does not comfort investors nor other governments</p> <blockquote> <p>The Saudi warnings came after the country's stock market fell as much as 7% on Sunday amid fears of sanctions.  </p> </blockquote> <p>I think their approach as if all others are stupid Trump-like fools is a delusion created by being royals, which by their very nature have only yes men surrounding them, with a population mostly brainwashed by Wahhabism combined with a welfare state, to boot.</p> <p>By contrast, the Iranian mullahs and leaders do not have this issue at all, they study "the other" and learn how to communicate and manipulate. I suspect for that reason, they will always run circles around the Saudi royal family. Ain't figured out the Turks yet, but then: who has?</p> </div></div></div> Sun, 14 Oct 2018 20:08:25 +0000 artappraiser comment 260012 at http://dagblog.com
