Raymond J. Learsy: Dick Cheney and King Abdullah Take a Meeting

Raymond J. Learsy 1 hour, 51 minutes ago

In a rather remarkable article in the New York Times on December 22nd "Bickering Saudis Struggle for an Answer to
Iran's Rising Influence in the Middle East" the following was reported, and I quote:



"A member of the Saudi royal family with knowledge of the discussions between Mr. Cheney and King Abdullah said the king had presented Mr. Cheney with a plan to raise oil production to force down the price, in hopes of causing economic turmoil for Iran without becoming directly involved"

One can only imagine the tenor of the conversation but let me try:

King Abdullah: Dick, thank you for coming. I hope I didn't upset your weekend plans.........
