Bandar where are you?

Bandar Bush, aka Bandar bin Sultan, has not made a public appearance in six months.

Or a public statement. Nothing. In years gone by you might have expected him at some of the big conflabs like Davos. Nothing.

Ever since that flurry of rumors last July that he'd been taken out by the Syrians right after assuming the top job in Saudi intelligence, he has been totally missing in action.

There have been news stories  claiming he's alive and well.

There have been news stories  claiming he's deader than the two-state solution.

So where are you, Bandar? We're hoping you're OK. The world stage isn't the same without you.

Just send a brief reply right here in the comment box at the bottom of this blog.

I'll get the word out.

We miss you pal...
