Some of the more interesting comments of King Abdullah at the Arab League summit:
"In beloved Iraq, blood is flowing between brothers, in the shadow of an illegitimate foreign occupation, and abhorrent sectarianism threatens a civil war."
The Saudi monarch insisted said the "real blame" for Arab woes lay with squabbling Arab rulers, who could only prevent "foreign powers from drawing the region's future" if they united. [As commonly stated by Kmarion]
So does this represent a meaningful change in the relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia? Saudi Arabia almost never criticise their oil-hungry brothers across the Atlantic. What is going on here???
PS: Fucked up the title, apologies.
