In 2003 the Yanks should have driven all the way to Riyadh when they had the chance.

/\ Except the Yanks are the ones who support the kingdom.

You'd think that by the age of 75 she'd know better than to have have 2 unrelated men in her gaff.

I'm mean, that's one of the first things they teach you.
That & how to make a suit by cutting a few holes in bedsheet (he said, quite racistly).

I dare anyone read "The Rise, Corruption and Coming Fall of the House of Saud" by Said K Aburish and not be shaking with rage for weeks afterwards. The only fair term for the Saudi Government is "savages".

In fairness, Saudi women are notorious harlots.

 

[Froog]

they show too much eyes.

More WTFery as a Saudi official is appointed to the UNs Human Rights Council Anger as UN appoints Saudi official to top human rights job

Given that China, Qatar and Russia are also represented you have to wonder are the UN just taking the piss (possibly out of those states or the rest of us) or are they hoping that such appointments will encourage the relevant states to up their human rights game? If the latter I can't see it having any effect on China, Russia or the Saudis and I'm even doubtful about Qatar.

The ladies have just been given the vote there so they must be sound now. I'm sure none of them will have any trouble getting their male owners accompany them to the polling stations.
