Ghazi al-Quseibi becomes a minister
2002-09-19
Saudi Arabia's ambassador in London Ghazi al-Quseibi was appointed as a minister of water, established according to a decree by the Saudi King Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz and was issued in Riyadh on Tuesday.
"Hey, king! That al-Quseibi guy in London is embarrassing as hell. Why don't we appoint him minister of something or other, get him out of the way?"
"Urk?"
"He's the one that composed the ode to the suicide boomer."
"(drool)"
"Good idea. We'll appoint him minister of water!"
"Sksz!"
"Nurse! He's doing it again!"

The said Saudi diplomat is known for his lack of tact frankness. He was the composer of a poem which raised the anger of London when he commended a Palestinian woman (martyr) who "carried out a (suicide) operation at the beginning of 2002 in a bomb explosion she was carrying."
Or something like that...
