The lies of Prince Turki Al-Faysal. So this Prince was on Al-Arabiya TV (the mouthpiece of King Fahd's brother-in-law) talking about his father. He talked about the (silly and incomplete) oil embargo of 1973. He said that his father would only take decisions after careful study. He said that his father refused to implement an oil embargo in 1967 although his own oil minister agreed in an Arab meeting in Baghdad at the time to enact an embargo. But the lies of Turki (the former close friend and patron of Bin Laden) were all too clear to miss. The (false) announcement of a Saudi oil embargo took place much earlier than that meeting in Baghdad. An-Nahar's issue of June 8, 1967 reported that Riyadh Radio reported that the Saudi council of minister met and agreed to end "immediately" all oil sales to countries "that help Israel." That was a lie of course.
