Did Saudia Arabia's King Abdullah Suffer a Fatal Heart Attack After Talking on Phone with Obama?

Topics: Political News and commentaries, Saudi Arabia

For now, I'm treating this as a rumor, however Islam Times reported yesterday that Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz suffered a sudden fatal heart attack after talking with Barack Obama on the the phone about the situation in Egypt.According to the report, Obama and the King got into a heated debate about their opinions of what Hosni Mubarak should do. After the phone call sources stated that King Abdullah was furious and then suffered a sudden heart attack:

Doctors ran to his rescue but were unable to save him. He was pronounced dead, but his death was not reported due to the sensative conditions that exist in the region. The Saudi Arabian government will reject this claim; but the ball is in their court to prove that he is alive.

Meanwhile, there are reports that the Saudi government is denying this.

King Abdullah was obviously extremely unhappy with Obama's handling of the Mubarak issue and if this story holds up, we have just witnessed not only history having been made in Egypt but also its first serious repercussion. If this report is in fact true (there is a report that the "rumor" of the king's death is untrue), God help us if Tunisia and Egypt are repeated in Saudi Arabia - the very home of Wahhabism.

Irregardless of whether or not the Saudi king has in fact died, it is safe to say that Barack Obama has done more to destroy our relationship with our allies than any president in history ... and is likely to become known as the president who lost the Middle East to Islam. We don't yet know what's going to happen in Egypt, but even a moron like James Clapper can figure out what happens if Islamist Saudi Arabia erupts.
