#2 Here's some more ranting from Riyadh:
“(Qaddafi’s) mission at the summit has revealed his real intentions and his secret role of serving the enemies of the (Arab) nation,” Al-Riyadh daily charged in a front-page editorial.
The previous track record of Qaddafi indicates “that this personality needs to be treated by psychiatrists,” the newspaper added.
The paper said that Qaddafi was brought to power in Libya in 1969 “by an American tank” and has exploited the Libyan people under various slogans.
“Who exactly brought you to power?” Crown Prince Abdullah asked the Libyan leader, alluding to suggestions that his 1969 overthrow of the British-backed monarchy had US support. “You are a liar and your grave awaits you,” the crown prince said. Al-Watan newspaper described Qaddafi as a “comedian hero”, a “peacock who rides on lies, deception and forgery” of history, and said the “biggest catastrophe” was for the Libyan people.

#3 Wow, what got them so peeved? Or is it just that royalty isn't used to being treated that way?

#5 LGF of all places has lots more details. Apparently MO got on the Sauds case for letting US forces in in 1990 and 1991. Said some nasty things about Saud not really being independent. Not sure what game Mo is playing, but the Saudis were quite justified in getting peeved if I read what going on correctly.

#6 The Saudis are peeved because Mo has those foxy bodyguards and they feel that this precident could spread throughout the Islamic arab world. And then what would happen?

#7 Why is it I keep getting flashbacks of the "arab council" in Damascus from "Lawrence of Arabia"?

Confusion to our enemies.

#8 My are things confused. You don't think that Tripoli is doing us some sort of favor to try and get on our good side?

Perhaps an oil embargo is being floated and Ghaddafi isn't playing ball?

#9 I think his elite group of female bodyguards is just as offensive to the Saud's as his colonialism comments.

#10 This is what UPI is saying caused it: But Gadhafi's charge that during the 1991 Gulf War, "King Fahd told me that his country was threatened and that he would cooperate with the devil to protect it," was too much for the Saudis. For any good Muslim, let alone the custodian of Islam's holy places, to cooperate with the devil is serious blasphemy. So Crown Prince Abdullah interrupted to tell Gadhafi to shut up, and went on to charge that Gadhafi was installed 35 years ago as a colonial puppet. The Crown Prince concluded: "Your lies precede you, while the grave is ahead of you." An everyday story of Arab diplomacy, with the usual results of angry demonstrations outside the Saudi Embassy in Libya and ambassadors recalled "for consultation."

#11 Boy the Saudis can be quick with regime change! Can't we get Saddam to call Abdullah names?

#15 This is prolly due to the recent attempt by Mo to have Soddi Abbdullah via a US-based paleostinian formerly with the AMC.
