Biden freed as much Saudi oil as he freed U.S. prisoners held there: zilch!

"How in God's name did your guys get him to fit inside that suitcase?"

The fist bump so-called President Biden did with Muhammed bin Salman [aka Muhammed bone-Sawman] was stupid, uncalled for and insensitive, and that was a really bad visual for him. The lack of accomplishing an oil deal, for which he went to Saudi Arabia, was also not a good look. But it was Biden's impotence or imperviousness toward the two American "hostages" in the kingdom, and his failure to even address the situation, that has angered two families of the prisoners.

According to these families, there are at least four Americans jailed in Saudi Arabia, but the cases are not well-known as the families chose to work quietly with the US government ahead of Biden's begging visit. 

But like everything Biden pretends to do, nothing came out of his meeting and the families are now seeking to gain the public's attention about their loved ones languishing in jail.

“I’m not a [Donald] Trump person, nor a Biden person. But if Trump was the president, these people would be home … Trump would have got it done,” said  Ali al-Ahmed, whose cousin, Dr. Bader al-Ibrahim, is not allowed to leave Saudi Arabia despite facing no criminal charges.

Al-Ibrahim is an epidemiologist who was working in Saudi Arabia. He was jailed without charges from April 2019 to February 2021, and is a Shia Muslim, a minority sect of the religion of peace.

Al-Ahmed is a U.S.-based analyst of Saudi affairs and president of the Committee for American Hostages in Saudi Arabia. "We have a saying in our country . . . it is a big prison," he said. He showed The Post before-and-after photos illustrating his cousin's severe weight loss after nearly two years in jail.

The committee has identified two additional US citizens, Salah al-Haidar and Dr Walid Fatihi who cannot leave Saudi Arabia in one piece at this time. The fourth American, a 74-year-old, remains unnamed, at the request of his family in order to avoid angering the Saudi government. He has been in jail without charges since last November.

Biden's trip to the kingdom was meant to rehabilitate the relationship between the US and the Saudis after Biden called the country a "pariah state" after killing and dismembered a journalist at the Turkey consulate. Biden was in the kingdom to plead to the "Notorious MBS" to release more oil for the US because gas prices are rising faster than Hunter Biden when he's video recording with a prostitute.

“Biden didn’t move an inch for him,” said the relative of the 74-year-old who spoke with The Post on the condition of anonymity. Al-Ibrahim’s cousin Ali al-Ahmed claimed that former President Donald Trump would have been able to get the detainees home from Saudi Arabia, which of course is true.

The family member added that they had called the White House almost every day from late May until last week to try and speak with Stephanie Hallett, the NSC’s acting senior director for the Middle East and North Africa.

The person said they were shocked when a White House switchboard operator asked at one point: “Why do you want to talk to someone who doesn’t want to talk to you?”

Al-Ahmed said he also left messages for Hallett but also was unable to connect with her.

Do you miss Trump yet?
