Lovely. King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has died and now we get to hear our leaders in Washington praise him for being something other than an oppressive dictator.
King Abdullah was a man of wisdom & vision. US has lost a friend & Kingdom of #SaudiArabia, Middle East, and world has lost a revered leader

.@JohnKerry I'm sorry, but what wisdom and vision was that? Saudi Arabia is not exactly a shining light of freedom and tolerance.
