Ghassan Sharbil on Prince Sultan

You may understand my revulsion at the Saudi (and Saudi-financed Arab) press by reading the obituaries that are published on the death of Prince Sultan.  They will cause you nausea or worse.  One obituary after another is being vomited by the Arabs in the Saudi-financed press.  Look at the editor-in-chief of Al-Hayat, Ghassan Sharbil, how he eulogizes the prince.  The words border on love poetry.   Not to be out done, Jihad Khazin (with a history of decades of service to the House of Saud) describes how he sat at the edge of his bed when Sultan was sick.  If I had the opportunity to get as close to him as Khazin did, there are million things that I would have done--to him, not for him.  If House of Saud did not have the oil wealth, they would have been the joke of the Arab world.
