I'll always remember that picture of W walking and holding hands with Prince Banshee or whatever.

After leaving office George Junior crawled over to the KSA to scrape and bow and collect his medal for loyal service to the House of Saud.

The fact that the Jeb! campaign won't let GWB anywhere near a public event pretty much sums up this man's "legacy".

Gosh, can it get more horrific? Oh and Pakistan are another of the Wests so-called allies in the “war on terrorism”

The whole thing is so perverted it’s genuinely profane.

The Saudis are filth. I hope President Cruz or Trump nukes them five minutes after the swearing in ceremony.

Maybe Israel ought to rethink who they’re aligned with, Egypt is now getting unstable and the Saudi’s are basically ISIS.

If it were me, I really wouldn’t want to be aligned with that sort of thing.

WE should fight the saudis. They are funding ISIS!! I love Assad. If any body can tell me a single thing he has done to the United States of America , I will sure listen.

Egypt’s military already stepped in once to toss the brotherhood out, and they are the most stable group in Egypt. They also have some respect for Israel.

Surrounded as Israel is, a questionable ally may be better than none at all.

They want the pipeline. That’s what all this is about. The atrocities are incidental.

So here is what the sides looks like so far. Hence why the Saudi FM is so bold.

Syria, Russia, Iran and China

vs.

Saudi Arabia, Israel and the U.S.

If comes down to this expect NATO to step in and possibly launching operations in Ukraine to keep Russia distracted.

Enter the Wild Card.

The people in the West want ISIS gone just like Syria.

The best move the U.S. can do right now is stay out. We can produce our own oil and buy from Canada and Mexico. We do not need Saudi Arabia.

Ditto Israel.

Let Saudi Arabia fight this out on their own.

No. The Arabs don’t have enough fire power.

“The Gulf states and the Saudis want to build a pipeline to Europe”

Just route it through Israel?

I can see that. That’s a good analysis. And there’s no one to stop them.

But what about Israel?

The Saudi leadership is flipping out because they know that Russia, Iran, China and Syria are about to defeat ISIS and have a beachhead in Iraq.

The Russians did not learn from their experience in Afghanistan. The Americans haven't learnt from their experience in the Mideast. Let the Russians and Chinese piss their money and children away in the Mideast. We need a break.

Maybe Saudi Arabia should put their citizens to work. Train them how to use a gun and fight. The govt should spend less time worrying about it’s citizens blogging habits.

If Russia and Iran (and China) take out ISIS and then Iraq - Saudi Arabia is surrounded and Obama and S.A. are checkmated.

Obama is such a bad President.

The House Of Saud could fall fairly easily.

Back in the first Gulf war, the Saudi King was all set to flee to Switzerland where they have a huge stock of money they kept from oil sales.

A Natural Gas pipeline. Putin doesn’t want an NG pipeline from Saudi Arabia undermining his stranglehold on the EU’s NG supply from Russia...At least unless Putin controls the valve and collects $$.

At least Christians have been protected with Assad, and Assas has never beheaded or crucified people ala Saudi Arabia and their friends ISIS.

So I think there’s a significant difference between Assad and Saudi Arabia.

Which could rapidly change. I’m sure you’ve heard the Egyptians have been fighting the extremists in Sinai for months now.

The extremists in Sinai have plenty of friends throughout Egypt, all those Muslim Brotherhood supporters for example.

Egypt isn’t that stable.

Yes, but the Egyptian military is a well trained and equipped fighting force. One of the best in the region.

You will remember their coup lasted just a few days.
