U.S. President Barack Obama spoke with Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah on Thursday amid concerns about escalating violence in Syria and plans to widen sanctions on Iran.
The White House gave no details of the conversation, but the telephone discussion came as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries agreed to hold production limits - despite an initial Saudi suggestion that OPEC may need to hike output later this year.

Just as i thought the alliance between America,Britain, Saudi Arabia, Israel and yet some of the users on the internet for cry about the axis of evil which is Iran, Sryia, Russia,China.
But the more this is coming out including with the trips that Obama is doing in Saudi Arabia which is led by undemocratic ruler that has led its own country and his family had ruled it for nearly 100 years.
And due the face that the article even mentions Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries? thats rather interesting.
So why is Obama speaking to an undemocratic ruler?

Seems like there are still people, who have learned nothing since the heartbreaking "throw babies out of the incubators" story by the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador.

Is this a desperate attempt to defend a oppressive regime?

Russia and China back the Syrian Government no matter what, despite them killing their own citizens. Would the US do the same? I dont think so. The point is moot though, we know Russia and China are doing it. He is using a strawman argument, and it doesnt hold any validity.

First, this is about Saudi Arabia and comparing the way SA treats its citizens to how Syria is. I will destroy your position on this on another topic where you are not derailing the thread.
Now then, how about we stay on topic, you think the way SA acts is just as bad as how Syria is acting currently?
Oh and you never called me a hypocrite before, so I dont know where your AHA moment came from.edit on 15-6-2012 by OccamsRazor04 because: (no reason given)

No. Saudi Arabia is treating its citizens much worser than what syria or iran is! They have a monarchy that has sold out to the west since day one. Saudi Arabia and Israel are the only two countries that support the west. That should tell you something.
And the fact we have been getting ripped off at the pump for ten years now is also quite unsettling . It means they are using our alliance for gain and give us nothing in return.

That is all you have to say for me to know to ignore any further posts from you. Selling out to the West is worse than gunning down citizens, gotcha.

Saudi Arabia does gun down citizens, ffs, it is funding/equipping a lot of the terrorist activity in Syria.
