#1 Oddly enough, friends like him don't look much different than enemies.

#2 The joke is on Walid, however, at least one huge hotel complex is already under construction -- in the Kurdish territory.

In the Arab lands, well, he's right. His brethren aren't civilized enough for such advanced facilities.

#3 Credit where it's due - pretty aggressive questions from the NYT Magazine reporter.

#5 Regard the "zero Christians"...

Well, it's utterly untrue. There are easily hundreds of thousands of Christians in Saudi Arabia. The expats which keep them from sliding back into the Bedu life, to be precise.

Having been one, and having personally known Christians from at least 10 different countries who worked there...

They were once carted off to jail for having Christmas lights up inside their homes - this I know for a first-hand fact. That they still must meet secretly is, also, a fact I can verify.

The correct version of that statement is that "There are zero Christians who can be open about their religion and practice it while within Saudi Arabia."

The Prince is the typical Muzzy fuckwit liar and taqiya specialist.

#6 Yeah, I bet his original $10 million check was cashed alright. Just by Cynthia McKinney, not Rudy!

#7 As you know, ever since 9/11, we have been trying to bridge the gap between West and East.

All the better to invade the West with.
