Oh, to be a fly on the wall somewhere in Riyadh (but do flies exist in Saudi Arabia?) back on June 26…

[Phone Rings, picked up by the CROWN PRINCE OF SAUDI ARABIA] “Hello? Ah! Prince Bandar! Good to hear from you again. What’s that? You wish to step down from your post as Ambassador to the Infidels in Washington?
[Big smile across the CROWN PRINCE’s face] Ah, I see…I understand, living in Dar al-Harb, one can only kiss so much Jew and Christian a** before they go nuts! It is bad for one’s health…yes I understand.
[Pause] Oh! You also want to be out of the area when Osama blows up his suitcase nuke?
[Nods head] Very well…I will send Prince Turk al-Faisal to succeed you. It will be good for him to get out of London right about now. Inshallah!”

What fun!
