Saudi Arabia's King Jealous of Iran, Cancels Date with ObamaSource: The Nil Admirari
::SNIP::
RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA (The Nil Admirari): A date between President Barack Obama and Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud was cancelled at the last minute by King Salman. Friends of Saudi Arabia say Salman is more than a little jealous and very unhappy about how much time the United States is spending with Iran.
::SNIP::
"The U.S. has been giving Iran so much more attention lately there seems to be so little left for Saudi Arabia," lamented King Salman. He shook his head before continuing, "And now I hear from our friends that the United States is spending even more time with Iran to fight ISIS in Iraq and Syria."
::SNIP::
"The United States can chew gum and walk at the same time, and our relationship with Saudi Arabia is more important to us than ever. And to prove it I am sending Saudi Arabia another $1.5 million in aid and two dozen new F-15 jets," stated Obama.

I knew a jealous girl once, much like Saudi.
Except the two weren't fighting over me.
I unfortunately, was the shoulder in the middle they cried on.
In that respect what Country would my position represent?
