Soddies demand Iraq war be stopped
2003-04-08
Saudi Arabia asked for halting the US war against Iraq once more on Monday. Saudi King Fahd said at the beginning of a cabinet session here, according to Saudi Arabia's SPA news agency, that all efforts on the part of the Arab and Islamic world leaders should be focussed on ending the US-led war against Iraq. At the end of the said meeting, a communique was issued, in which the Saudi government's serious concern over the need to respect the international laws, and to try to save the lives of the the innocent civilians are emphatically stressed. The communique reads in part, "Baghdad is known as the Peace City in the Islamic world, and has a significant place in the Arab world history, therefore, both its civilian residents, and its historical heritage should be safeguarded and preserved painstakingly, and that is not possible amid such heavy bombardments." The communique further stresses that it is high time for the United Nations, as the representative of the global community, to become more dynamically involved in securing the future and territorial integrity of one of its independent members, the Arabic Republic of Iraq."
Yup. Baghdad: City of Peace. Hand me a tissue, wouldja?

#10  Bush personally nominated Daniel Pipes for some strategic board of peace studies or something: he is NOT a wahhabi arse-kisser. He just plays politics smart-like.

He'll get around to them, don't worry.

The Wahhabis will be crushed, not by America but by their own beloved house of Saud.

#9  Saudi Arabia has: 17,000,000 citizens; 7,000,000 literates; 700,000 polygamists (much more horney poor males who are out of the wife' pool); 5,000 members of the House of Saud; 1 US President. Bush is a born Wahabi ass-kisser, and he will die one.

#8  Dear Faud,
We will be pulling out of those Saudi airbases shortly. We are moving to some new facilities we recently acquired. We do get our security deposit back, right?

#7  King Fahd, don't worry. Just mopping up around here. We'll be done soon. We're kinda busy reading these files Sammy left at the palace, so we'll get back to you once we're done.

#5  Guys, don't listen to the words, watch the hands. The Soddis want a ceasefire, but they're letting us use some of the military facilities, and we have overflight rights for our missiles fired from the Red Sea. This communique was for domestic consumption, pure and simple. No worries.

#4  An editorial from Dar al-Hayat (Lebanon, UK) proves that at least some Arabs are capable of sober thoughts:

#3  Memo to King Fahd: you're next, baby! Be sure YOUR bunker has enough whiskey and Moroccan hookers to hold you until the bunker busters send you to Virginland.
