Saudi King Reads Riot Act to Obama: Report
Dan from New York writes, "Obama’s sycophancy toward the Muslim world is finally paying dividends: total lack of respect, or fear, for the President of The United States."The Times (UK), 2/10/2011
Saudi Arabia has threatened to prop up President Mubarak if the White House tries to force a swift change of regime in Egypt. In a testy personal telephone call on January 29, King Abdullah told President Obama not to humiliate Mr Mubarak and warned that he would step in to bankroll Egypt if the US withdrew its aid programme, worth $1.5 billion annually. America’s closest ally in the Gulf made clear that the Egyptian President must be allowed to stay on to oversee the transition towards peaceful democracy and then leave with dignity. “Mubarak and King Abdullah are not just allies, they are close friends, and the King is not about to see his friend cast aside and humiliated,” a senior source in the Saudi capital told The Times.

Apparently, Egypt is the keystone preventing the whole region from falling under the control of the Islamists. Who knew? So that's why we're sending Egypt all of that money every year. Someone really ought to mention it to Barry.
