Saudi Arabia Snubs Obama on the Tarmac, Sending Only a Minor Dignitary to Greet Him As He Arrives On His Farewell Tour

Suddenly I'm a huge fan of Saudi Arabia.

CNN:

When Obama touched down in Riyadh shortly after 1 p.m. local time, there were no kisses with the kingdom's ruler as President George W. Bush once exchanged. The Saudi government dispatched the governor of Riyadh rather than a senior-level royal to shake Obama’s hand, a departure from the scene at the airport earlier in the day when King Salman was shown on state television greeting the leaders of other Gulf nations on the tarmac.

In fairness to the Saudis, it should be noted that Obama is an asshole and people don't like him.

19 Random, but I sometimes wonder about the use of "King" and "Royal family" to describe the Saudi kleptocrats.

Not that I'm a fan of European monarchy, but those terms in Europe go back a ways and have some tradition behind them. The Saudi royal family is that which was able to grab the most when WWI upset the old order and the Brits just wanted compliant clients.

Now everyone from the lucky sperm club is a prince.

37 While I'd be tempted to send Jo-Jo the monkey boy out to greet Obama and send him to a hovel to sleep in, that would be an insult to the American people as a whole because the president represents the USA. So I'd grudgingly give all the outward shows of respect.

If I had one wish:

To live to see everything that Barack the Mashie Niblick has done and everything he believes in that has been inflicted on America reversed right in front of his eyes. And the entire population of the world laugh whenever his name is mentioned and he is remembered as a stain on the history of the nation.
And then live to see him buried.

Then I can die a happy man.

He shows me

Posted by: Sharkman at April 20, 2016 05:53 PM (Ih4ii)

192 Well, let's look at President Barack Obama's achievements in the Middle East.

He abandoned a fragile but stabilizing post - war Iraq and allowed it to descend back into sectarian anarchy.

He spoke about revolution in Cairo, and implicitly backed the MB against Hosni Mubarak (ally of the KSA), and then disses el-Sisi (now president, who the KSA also functionally supports).

Militarily backed an uprising in Libya, that deposed Quaddafy (spell it...how?), and now, Libya is chaos, with militant terrorist bands fighting each other for control, and refugees streaming for Italy.

Concluded a treaty agreement with Iran to lift sanctions from perhaps the biggest terrorist - sponsor state in the world, who also happens to be majority Shia, who also wants to make war on the House of Saud (Sunni) (not that there is particularly anything wrong with that).

Has fiddled while Syria is burning, a civil war (started by discontented Sunnis, allies of the KSA), which has probably seen a quarter million people killed (mostly Sunnis).

Well, some people, SOME PEOPLE, see a lot of winning there, but I see a lot of effing up. And, there are a lot of other minor achievements that are too numerous to mention. So yeah, we can all see the love there from the House of Saud to Barack Obama.

Could anyone be....worse? I guess we get to find out in six months, huh?

199 "War 'stache Bolton said that if the Saudis were involved in 9/11, we should bomb them. Dang! (and I agree, but perhaps lets hit Tehran first)"

Along with declassifying the infamous redacted "28 pages" from the 9/11 Commission Report, it's also high time to open up the NSA archives to view the classified message traffic that was discovered there too late in the game for the Commission to review and deliberate upon.

The inside word about the NSA material is that it shows Iranian involvement with, and assistance to, bin Laden's 9/11 plot.

(This isn't to exculpate the Saudis, who sent money and also provided various forms of help to al-Quaeda.)

221 From the top of the front-page sidebar:

"Anyone ever notice that every Muppet solution to a problem involves putting on a show?
Did the Muppets predict the 21st century?"

Actually, the concept of "Hey, let's put on a show!" was invented in 1937 in the Broadway musical "Babes in Arms," which featured a bunch of orphan kids who needed money so put on a musical stage show to raise it -- the real purpose of which was to allow the songwriters (Lorenz & Hart) to cram every kind of irrelevant song into the musical, even if it didn't serve the plot of the musical's main story arc. A song could simply be performed to the audience as "part of the show-within-the-show."

A few years after it was a hit on Broadway - - with probably the greatest selection of classic songs in any one musical ever in history - - it was made into a film with Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney. For some incomprehensible reason, they removed most of the classic stage show songs and substituted new inferior ones -- but even so, the film was a big hit, and spawned about 18 additional Judy/Mickey "Let's Put on a Show!" copycat films, which themselves spawned a zillion more copycat films with the same plot (but different performers), and the rest is history.

Short version: It didn't start with the Muppets.

234 "Well, let's look at President Barack Obama's achievements in the Middle East."

A good start to the list.

But it should also include Yemen, which was supposed to be the triumphant showcase for Obama's "smart power" approach to counterinsurgency. Where his nuanced light touch would show itself superior to that of the ham-fisted, blundering troglodyte who preceded him in the Oval Office.

Instead, Obama's brillant plan has blown up horribly -- when's the last time you heard that? -- and armed radicals have swept through the country.

The Saudis didn't feel they could let that situation stand, given Yemen's proximity to vulnerable areas of their own country, so they sent in their elite mercenary special forces, armed with the latest Western high-tech equipment, which have proceeded to get themselves horribly mauled in actual combat by much less well armed Yemeni insurgents.

Meanwhile, the American news media provides breathless coverage of Mooch talking to elementary school kids about "healthy eating".

First.. they were gushing over Trump.. even saying he could put NY in play.. WTF? Idiots. Dems pulled in 1.8 million votes.. Repubs - 865,000.

Then they were predicting how well Trump would do in New England.. who gives a flying fuck?? Those are all deep blue states.. And he does poorest in safe red states..

Then, Dana Perino pops up with the really stupid Democrat "statistic" that Republicans need to win 40% of the Hispanic vote because of Demographic changes.. dumb as a fucking turtle.. Nearly ALL the growth has been in blue states.. those states are lost to us.. The only states we need to worry about are the swing states.. Ohio? 3.5% Hispanic eligible voters.. that's if they even bothered to register.. Florida, Nevada and Colorado will be a challenge though.. and if Trump is the nominee, those states are lost.

Last.. Every news organization is reporting Hillary "crushed" Bernie.. including these dipshits on The Five.. WTF again?

Hillary got 139 delegates to Bernie's 106. In her fucking home state! 33 delegates.. wooohooo!

249 About the bowing thing:

I've worked with and for folks in a 'bowing culture' for many's the year, and it took me a while to figure out what to do.

They key thing is not to be subservient or meek, and never to bow first; TFG never seemed to figure that out.

Yes, if the culture calls for a bow, a bow is expected, but you give it in reply, and never first, nor do you stoop or kowtow.

In fact, my bow got me an automatic promotion at the the time of hire with my current employer - I met my supervisor, didn't shove my hand out to grasp his, but I didn't bow until he did, and when I did, it was as an equal meeting a peer.

The SCOAMF bows like someone who was told he needs to bow, but like someone too lazy to learn how and when to do it.

The Saudis see him for what he is - a nothing.

Thank you. Poor husband. Left home at 5:30 this morning to get work done before heading to ATL. Now the idiot siblings are texting fast and furious about "what he's doing for Mother" since he only arrived a few minutes ago. F*cking idiots. The whole lot. And the most critical/demanding is in NYC.

291 "See also John Schindler's latest long and detailed piece on the Iranian connection.:

"In fairness to the 9/11 Commission, they were not allowed to see important information that might have changed their minds. In particular, they did not see NSA signals intelligence that shed significant light on Iran's clandestine role supporting al-Qa'ida generally and the [9/11] Planes Operation particularly. SIGINT from NSA makes up the lion's share of intelligence in our government, and the fact that the 9/11 Commission was never shown the impressive full NSA archive of reports, many highly classified, on the very topic they were investigating seems incomprehensible."

So who would have seen these NSA archives, or it just for the NSA's own internal amusement. Would a Secretary of State? Would a President be told about this, or have to go looking?

This would have implications for the "deal" we just struck with Iran.

Because the way it is set up now, the old threads effectively function as "flypaper" to help identify and ban spammer IPs. If all comments were banned on old threads, those IPs would only get identified when they spammed live threads.

The downside of not allowing live comments on threads that have been dormant for days is slight compared to the benefits of the spammer IP trapping effect.

297 Just before we left for first vacation in over a decade (Africa), she had the same problem. We nearly cancelled our trip. Husband said, "that's what trip insurance is for."

She made it home and promptly began firing the caregivers that were hired for her.

The ENTIRE TIME we were on our 30th anniv. vacay, we were being texted Every. Single. Day. about what she was/wasn't eating and her potty habits.

The texts were coming from the always-world-traveling siblings.

I hope the old girl pulls through. Husband sent a pic of her all smiles in the ER, so hopefully she'll be okay and back home soon.

Not exactly nothing to do with, but not as direct an involvement as Saudi Arabia. Iran was not really involved either, at least no more so than Iraq where they trained people to take over jet airliners with... wait for it... box cutters.

Even the 9/11 commission admitted there was a connection, just not a very strong one.

Me? In edge, waiting on an Inspection Contingency Waiver on a 700K short sale offer I just got on a listing I have, so I can get a commission advance and pay my child support current to keep the ex- and Kids from being evicted from their rental house. Waiting on a loan approval for a $4.5M deal I put together for a friend that will net me half a point on 5/1. Dealing with ever increasingly aggressive and abusive Dad who is currently in a geropsych ward about 50 miles from me. Worrying about Mom.
