Another Obama Endorsement: Saudi Arabia
Apparently the House of Saud thinks an Obama foreign policy would be even more in line with the Islamist theocracy's interests than a McCain White House. Hard to believe given the Obama line about a McCain presidency being Bush's third term and the current President's blind spot to the Saudi threat.
An editorial, the Saudi paper Al-Watan stated that U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is more capable than anyone else of bringing about change in U.S. policy, particularly in all things connected to the Middle East.It's interesting to note, though, that the Saudis don't think Obama gets the threat of Iran:
The paper added that in light of Obama's intent to conduct a dialogue with Iran, the Middle East countries should launch a dialogue with him and help him better understand what is going on.Thanks to CJ who's comment on Saudi style change is a must read.
