At first, this looks good on them:
NEW YORK The Saudi foreign minister said Tuesday that Saddam Hussein should make a sacrifice for his country and step down if it would end the war. The remark provoked a sharp rebuke from Iraq."If the only thing remaining to resolve the situation in Iraq is a sacrifice from President Saddam Hussein and since he's asking all Iraqis to sacrifice their lives for their country, then the least that can be expected is that he would do the same and sacrifice for his country," Prince Saud told reporters.
At a news conference in Baghdad, Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan responded with a rebuke directed at the Saudi foreign minister: "Go to hell."
"You are too much of a nothing to say a word addressed to a leader of Iraq," Ramadan added.
Then Saud gets stupid again:
Saud said a U.S. "military occupation" of Iraq would not resolve the Iraq conflict, and he called for a cease-fire to allow diplomacy to work."Conflict is not really the best way to resolve disputes," Saud said. "Let us stop it now before hatred grips our hearts and our souls."
Too late. Remember 9/11? Of course you don't, 15 of 19 were Saudis and you keep trying to ignore that little fact.
He said one of the reasons his kingdom is against the war "is because wars tend to spread and especially wars in areas that have chronic problems like the Middle East."
That's because places like the Middle East are shitholes begging to be cleaned out and civilized.
"We are afraid of the spread of war," Saud said.
I'll bet you are. Because if it spreads, your government falls, and you probably lose your head to the enraged crowds.
