Abdullah Meets Clinton
Crown Prince Abdullah, deputy premier and commander of the National Guard, and former US President Bill Clinton held talks yesterday in Jeddah on the developments in Iraq and Palestine in addition to world affairs. Prince Sultan, second deputy premier and minister of defense and aviation, Prince Nawaf, head of general intelligence and prince Muhammad ibn Naif, assistant minister of interior for security affairs, attended the talks. The crown prince hosted a dinner in Clintonâs honor at his palace.
Possibility #1: standard Bill Clinton "I still matter!" tour.
Possibility #2: optional Bill Clinton "doing what he can to undermine the current president" tour.
Possibility #3: Bill carrying a "special message" from George Bush direct to the princes ears to stop funding terrorists or else. Note that Bill would cheerfully slit the throats of the current democratic party hopefuls if it would help boost his own image and by extension his wife's chances in "08".
My own vote is for 1 & 2.
