Saudi Update

A few weeks ago, Prince Bandar, who was the Sauid ambassador to the United States, was recalled. It was speculated that King Faud's health was in question and that the royal family was about to get promoted.

Here are a couple of Yahoo News Alerts confirming that theory:
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) A hospital official and an adviser to the royal family say Saudi Arabia's King Fahd has died.
...and...
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) Saudi Arabia's royal court says King Fahd's brother, Crown Prince Abdullah, has been appointed the country's new monarch.
I've heard we can expect more of the same from Abdullah...and actually the situation may actually get worse under him. Saudi Arabia needs to join the modern world and leave Islamofascism behind...Saudi Arabia is, I think, the key to the whole war on terror.
