Liars, Damn Liars and Islam- Saudi King, Ahmadinejad talk politics on phone


I wonder if the stinky little squint has changed his clothes since he was at the UN in New York.
They are more dangerous to each other than they are to Israel and America.

Saudi King, Ahmadinejad talk politics on phone
Oct 12, 2010
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Saudi King Abdullah discussed regional affairs by telephone on Tuesday amid tensions over Iraqi and Lebanese politics and a Gulf arms buildup..

The conversation took place as the two sides appeared to be at odds over the formation of Iraq's government, stalemated seven months after parliamentary elections.

Saudis, whose predominantly Sunni Muslim country is frequently at odds withShiite-dominated Iran, are also concerned about Tehran's role in Lebanese and Palestinian politics.

And Saudis have become concerned about political turbulence in neighboringBahrain, where the minority Sunni government has cracked down on Shiite activists, arresting 21 in August and accusing them of forming a "terror network."

At the Arab League summit in Sirte, Libya last week Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal spoke of lack of cohesiveness among Arab countries that creates a "strategic vacuum" that is exploited by "neighbouring countries."

A Saudi-US arms deal worth up to 60 billion dollars (43.4 billion euros) revealed by Washington last month also appears to be directed at Iran, with the main items including 84 advanced F-15 fighters and dozens of attack helicopters.
