The Shi'a have raised martyrdom, death, and just plain losing, to a religious art form, along with ritual mutilation, self flagellation, etc. ad nauseam. Watch the annual parade that celebrates their loss in the battle of Karbala, they do it all in public. No secret.

The Shiites actively seek and would welcome Armageddon, in which EVERYBODY ON THE PLANET will die by fire. Shiites, of course, will fast-track to Firdous with the 72 Virgins, etc. All Infidels, and bad (i.e non-Shiite) Muzzies, too, will become their slaves in Firdous for all eternity.
In the meantime, Allah will recreate the world, an earthly paradise, that is a perfect, All-Shiite, All-the Time, beautiful Beverly Hills-type planet.

The Shiites also have other customs that irretrievably piss off other Muzzies, particularly the Sunni. They have "saints," shrines, hang holy pictures in their cabs, and generally carry on like Halloween in Mexico. Allah however, did place much of the world's petroleum under their none-too-clean posteriors, something for which the Sunni of Saudi Arabia will never forgive them. (E.G., Much of the Saudi oil wealth is in the Shiite-dominated eastern region!)
The Sunni Saudi attitude toward Shiites: Jesus! WTF was Allah thinking?

Like saying that these bearded savages have square beards, and those bearded savages have round beards. They’re both subhuman savages.

IMNVHO, one cannot say "bankrolled by Saudi Arabia." The Kingdom is a very delicate balancing act run by a far from unified House of Saud. You have about 5,000 Princes of the Blood and their entourages, wives, children, concubines, children, business managers, hanger-on imams, tribal chieftains etc. Then you have another 15,000 or so "princes" who are not "of the blood" but offspring of royal and royal family concubines who are not 100% recognized and their entourages.

The country is run the way Tony Soprano runs Newark. One Prince has KFC, another MacDonalds, another Mercedes, another Ford, another Motorola, Coca-Cola, Sprite, Bosch, Firestone, etc etc etc.

One Prince Runs the Royal Army. Another the National Guard. Another The Air Force, another the Navy, another Military intelligence, another civil intelligence, a third the Religious Police, one guy has the phones, another cable TV. Each of these guys is wealthy beyond belief.

So one Prince may bankroll al qaeda, another will back the taliban, another will buy weapons for Assad, while his cousin bankrolls the rebels. Yes, there is a government ... and it knows all, but as to who exactly is bankrolling what ... fuggedaboutit. You can ask, of course.

The Saudis play chess on 20 different boards at once. There is only one thing worse than the Saudi government: that is what ever comes next.

It is the old battle between blood line succession and democratic succession. We had such a feud in Scotland when the first ever western King selected by popular opinion and not blood line, became the Scottish King. Actually an integral component of Scottish history. So it is not, square beard verses rectangular beard. And coincidentally, we Scots who backed the democratic king succession line, ended up mostly here in America. It was those square bearders that remained in Scotland lol.

Since he’s not moving to help the Shia president of Iraq, he could be Sunni.

That might be the Chinese. They are Iraq's biggest customer. They want the oil, and don't care what they have to do to get it. They have already have offered assistance to Iraq.

Vince, if the CHICOM buy Saudi Oil, it will be with our money.

If the Saudis spend their money, that would also be our money. The Saudis are treacherous, lyin' bastards, who figure a million angles on every deal, and to whom "Truth" is a rare and well-guarded commodity.

They may well deserve each other. After all, the Brits refer to them both as "Worthy Oriental Gentlemen." Of course the Brits also say that "The WOGS begin at Calais!"

On a real slow internet connection, otherwise it would be no problem to get you a link. There is a collection of BBC videos on the history of Scotland available on the web somewhere. Something like a 10 or 14 part series. They run around 20 minutes or so each I think. Or at any rate, there are books written about the Rebel King.

what side does Obama favor? He did bow to the King of Saudi Arabia—Hes a Sunni. He might be able to make a deal with Al Baghdadi—maybe give him the guys in Gitmo?
