Quote by: Trotsky
Fahd was a moderate in comparison to Abdullah. Watch how Abdullah suddenly starts to call for Western forces based in Saudi to leave. He was waiting for Fahd to die.
There have been various reports in the Western press that claim that Abdullah has effectively been running the kingdom since Fahd's stroke in 1995. The change may not be so great, if Abdullah has been the real power for almost a decade. Time will tell.
