A bigger threat to the House of Saud than Saddam was when he took Kuwait.

Do you think Obama is going to rally to their defense? Not bloody well likely.

Thus Mad Vlad in Moscow has his opening. Enjoy the low gas prices, because once the Saudis and Russians become allies and best buds, those days are over.

A million huh?
The logistics to support a million people in the desert is way, way out of reach of Yemeni tribesmen..By the time they are ready to invade they will be too weak to raise a rifle.

Yep, now let’s be sure to tell those Yemenis to get all lined up for a nice group photo.

Apparently Baghdad Bob didn’t die. He converted to Shiism, moved to Iran and now writes for the local rag.

There are more Yemenis than there are Saudis -- but the Saudis aren't getting ready to shut off the oil supply.

Ha!

I met a guy here who spent time on the ground with the Saudi armored car brigade as an advisor. Had some interesting stories and (relatively minor) scars involving a Yemeni T-62 I believe it was. The T-62 got the worst side of the bargain.
