Saudi ambassador gives bizarre answer to illegal Yemen cluster bombing question: 'It's like asking if you’ll stop beating your wife’
Prince Abdullah Al-Saud clumsily dodges question about the Kingdom’s role in the 19-month-old Yemeni civil war, which has left more than 10,000 people dead

Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the US has evaded answering a question about Saudi Arabia’s alleged use of cluster munitions in the Yemeni civil war by answering, “This is like the question, ‘Will you stop beating your wife?’”

“Will you continue to use cluster weapons in Yemen?” a reporter from The Intercept asked Prince Abdullah Al-Saud, the Kingdom’s ambassador to the US, at the annual Arab-US Policymakers Conference in Washington DC last week.

“This is like the question, ‘Will you stop beating your wife?’” Mr Saud replied, laughing. When pressed on the same point, the prince said, “You are political operators… I’m not a politician.”

Mr Saud went on to say that the Kingdom would contine bombing Houthi rebels in Yemen “no matter what it takes.”

There is nothing bizarre about it when one takes into account the full "discussion".

I would like to have his patience when dealing with idiots and people who live off lies and rumors (most journalists). Anyway what kind of job is that even?
