Bush Sr's statement on King Abdullah's death:
Quote:
I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my dear friend and partner King Abdullah. As President, I found His Majesty always to be a wise and reliable ally, helping our nations build on a strategic relationship and enduring friendship dating back to World War II.
Of course, following the invasion of Kuwait, I will never forget the way Saudi Arabia and the United States stood together against a common foe — marking a moment of unparalleled cooperation between two great nations.
Barbara and the entire Bush family joins me in sending our most sincere condolences to all our friends in Saudi Arabia. We are thinking of them at this difficult time.
