Saudi King Calls the Kettle Black
(2007-03-30) — Saudi Arabian King Abdullah, addressing an Arab summit in Riyadh yesterday, called the U.S. occupation of Iraq “illegitimate…a relic of medieval times when unelected monarchs ruled their vassals by decree.”
“How is the U.S. occupation of Iraq any different from feudalism?” King Abdullah asked rhetorically. “The Iraqi people did not elect George Bush. He is not accountable to them. He rules from his white palace, doing as he pleases and they must simply endure and comply.”
The Saudi king added that “it’s hard to believe in our progressive 21st century that the United Nations would allow a member state to oppress people like this. In my prayers, I ask Allah to hasten the day when the Iraqi people rise up and throw off the shackles of this antiquated system of governance, and declare their God-given right of self-determination.” — Scott Ott / ScrappleFace
