Saudis will kill any group they believe is a threat to Saudi Arabia, even if they are Sunni.

Has to be difficult for the Saud’s to attack another Muslim nation. They are the home to Mecca and Medina. So they typically must portray themselves as neutral. There was some report about the Yemeni president asking for immediate help to destroy missile assets that the rebels/insurgents had stolen. Probably left over Obama gear.

The EUR/USD has hardly moved on this “News”.

We should see a huge and I mean huge move into the US Dollar if this news is legit.

More interesting, amid reports that Saudi coalition includes Pakistan Sudan, Morocco, Jordan, this news:

Sudan closes offices of all Iranian missions and groups (Just a headline now.)

Do you have a free realtime quote source?

My currency charts are not reflecting that move.

Btw, Conoco “COP” was strong today as the market melted down. Troubled PBR was even up on news.

Ten minute delay will work, Thanks.

It’s a very interesting dichotomy.

Oil Up as the result of potential war with Saudi Arabia, which is expected.

However, the political uncertainty should also send the US Dollar substantially higher.

There are apparently a number of wars going on.

Obama is aware of all this and likely part of the orchestration of these happenings.....he has said he will side with the Muslims and this is where his mindset is when it’s not on his next golf game.

A normal man would have been embarrassed to get that award, given nothing was done to deserve it. A normal man would have turned it down.
