Something stinks here.

(35,390 posts)We could assume he was given information about it to report back.
Or we could split the difference--he was told of plans and was asked for advice.
Or perhaps it's related only temporally and not causally in either way.

Maybe a totally legit reason (Hezbollah arent exactly the friendliest of folks to deal with, I hear), but certainly in another country while that country is having a whatever KSA is having, not a coup exactly is weird.

(17,213 posts)Donald Dotard has been obsessed with THE ORB ever since he experienced its awesome power. "Grabbing THE ORB was even better than grabbing kittens," he was reported as saying. "I must have it."
So Secret Agent J was dispatched to return THE ORB to its rightful place in Daddy-in-Law's pants. Until he found out how Arab countries tend to handle thievery (hint: it has to do with hands and the potential removal thereof).
"Screw that," brave Agent J said, ratting out the plan to his Saudi hosts. "Can I have some money?"
