Obama In Riyadh: "The Most Positive Visit Of His Presidency"

Here.

Thirty representatives of four different American administrations came to pay their “respects” to dead King Abdullah, live King Salman, and the country their family owns and named after itself, “Saudi” Arabia. The salaam-salaams were out of place, and can only contribute to the o’erweening Saudi sense of themselves as needing, and deserving, of American courtship, American solicitude. It’s exactly the wrong attitude for the Americans to have displayed. But it’s no different from what has been displayed over more than four decades. Just find, on-line, J. B. Kelly’s “Of Valuable Oil and Worthless Policies” and read to your heart’s content.
