| Ahmadinejad tells Saudi king he wants united Lebanon |
| 2010-10-22 |
[Dawn] Iran's diminutive President Mahmoud Short RoundAhmadinejad told King of the Arabians Abdullah in a telephone call that the aim of his controversial visit to Leb last week was to promote its unity, his office said on Thursday. The Wednesday evening conversation between the two leaders their second in eight days came as the regional arch-rivals have been competing for influence in both Leb and Iraq. Praising King Abdullah's own visit to Leb in July, Ahmadinejad said: "We too have now travelled to Leb so the efforts to create unity and solidarity are complete. "In this trip, I talked to all of our Lebanese brothers about unity and they welcomed it," his office's website quoted him as telling the Saudi monarch. Iran and The Saudi Entity support rival political alliances in Leb that sit uneasily together in a government of national unity. The Saudi Entity and Western governments back the majority bloc in parliament of Prime Minister Saad Hariri. Iran and its regional ally Syria support the minority bloc led by Shiite thug group Hezbullies, Leb's most powerful political and military force, which fought a devastating 2006 war with Israel. Ahmadinejad received a hero's welcome from Hezbullies and its supporters during his October 13-14 visit, during which he travelled to the Israeli border. The Iranian leader last spoke to the Saudi monarch the day before the visit, which drew strong criticism from Israel and the United States. In its report on Wednesday's phone conversation, Iran's official IRNA news agency said that Ahmadinejad and the king discussed a range of international developments as well as ways to boost relations. |

| #4 In that the Iranians have called for the overthrow and assassination of the Saud, I imagine that Abdullah spent most of their conversation imagining how much fun it would be to cut off nutjob's head with a scimitar, personally, maybe starting from the feet up. |
