According to him, King Abdullah, whose aversion to the Libyan leader is known, especially since the latter was accused of trying to assassinate him, has not responded to this demand.

The author notes that Washington's demand corresponds with the history of U.S. military cooperation with the kingdom. He stressed that Saudi Arabia is the only Arab ally that enjoys a favorable strategic position and possesses the ability to supply weapons to rebels in Libya.

Fisk, if Saudi Arabia approved the U.S. request of sending weapons to rebels in Libya, it would be impossible to condemn a U.S. president use force against Saudi Shiites in northeastern regions of the kingdom.
