With Iran on the way to getting nukes and ISIS gaining ground in the region the rich Saudi’s are in danger of having their peachy status quo shaken up. Its not Israel who threatens them one iota. If anything it may be Israel saves their fat butts when push comes to shove against their common enemies.
Translation:
“Please attack Iran for us..”
Each day is new with opportunity.
I guess the Arabs are really afraid of the Persians.
You know what a bunch of spooky 911 paper say..?
That Waleed was actually one of the main guys who sponsored the 9 11 attack.
Get the cost of the air strikes up-front. Also, use of air bases, re-fueling, munitions, etc.
Thanks for the this post. At this time, I am thinking this is cause for hope. It takes a leader with certain humility, strength, and courage to go against the prevailing winds and to speak of the need to try to let go of centuries of fanaticism and hatred.
Can he do it? Does he have good motives? Who knows? It remains to be seen.
However, at this moment, I am hopefully and prayerfully putting him into the class with the Egyptian president who is seeking reform of the radical elements of Islam.
IMHO, leaders like these are the answers to the millions of prayers which Christians and Jews and others have given over the years for the quelling of the hatreds in the middle east. Will it happen overnight? No, probably not. But I can promise you that I will be praying for the Will of God for the efforts of people to try to accomplish what both of these leaders are proposing.
Isn’t this guy the same guy who has backed Obama, who got him into Harvard through Percy Sutton? If so, I trust him as far as I can throw an aircraft carrier.
Who ever thought a day would come when the King of Saudi Arabia would be a friendlier, more supportive ally of Israel than the President of the United States?
This statement from Prince Talal might be Saudi Arabia’s final warning to Obama to NOT end sanctions on Iran, which would give the Mullahs tens of billions of dollars to create nuclear bombs to be aimed at the Saudis.
Failure to heed this warning could result in an very angry, very anti-American Saudi Arabia, which still controls OPEC, and whose oil riches could empower the Israeli military. Does the Netanyahu-hating Obama really want a more powerful Israel?
They are worried that their power derived from oil is permanently diminished.
They need powerful allies.
Obama will not like this statement one bit, Prince Talal. It’s your Islamic duty to oppose and boycott Israel, unequivocally. Expect a nasty phone call from the State Department shortly.
And when they say peace and safety....
Tall bin Waleed is bogus. It’s either Waleed bin Talal or it’s a hoax.
That said, one of the unintended consequences that will be an 0b0z0 legacy is the “Red Sea NATO,” which consists of Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the Gulf Emirates. Israel is a hidden member. Qatar and Turkey are dragged in it kicking and screaming but NOT trusted because they’re MB.
Saudi Arabia is TALKING to Israel through Egypt. I believe if an 0b0z0 legacy deal is reached with Iran, the IAF will have Saudi bases complete with jet fuel, at least.
We shall see.
An irrelevant comment from an irrelevant “prince” (royal bastard). The Saudi’s recently jailed the flight crew of a Saudi airliner that had had to make an emergency landing at an Israeli airport. There could be some backroom deals going on between the Saudi’s and the Israeli’s, but I don’t foresee any kind of public rapprochement as long as Israel retains control of the West Bank.
It is no secret the Saudi elites want and would even pay for Israel to take out Irans nuclear facilities, and I guarantee after Israel does that they turn on them like rabid wolves, even if Israel gets their desire in writing with a host of witnesses they will turn, this Saudi Prince maybe sincere but speaking for myself I sincerely doubt it, so what excuse would they use to turn... (Israel Went Too Far)
It is in fact what islamists do...
