Ooops. Source line SHOULD read Wall Street Journal, subscription required. NEED MORE COFFEE.

bump for later

Saudi, Saudis everywhere.

Any bets on a meltdown date for the Tragic Kingdom?

[aristeides]

I wonder what innocent reason there could be for a Saudi diplomat to meet with a Moroccan.

[swarthyguy]

Trade notes on chicks?

Momaw handles the pools around here.

"Any bets on a meltdown date for the Tragic Kingdom?

That will be determined by one of two entities....

1. When the Wahabbi clerics and the militant Islamist lunatics decide they no longer need the "Royal Family" as front assholes.

2. Or when Washington decides it's their turn to fall...

It is no longer a decision to be made or avoided by the House of Saud...

Semper Fi

Any bets on a meltdown date for the Tragic Kingdom?

What would the name of the betting pool be and what would be the criteria for picking a winner?

[Betty Jo]

When you say "meltdown", are you talking about a big "boom" that "melts down" things like buildings and sand?

Would the royals be protected by Halliburton mercanaries?

Will the Saudi military fight the terrs hand to hand?

Can American military forces be expected to chase the terrs down the halls of the harems?

Will big oil get the heck out before the blood starts flowing?

Or, will the Saudies still be in the palaces 40 years from now,when the last drop of oil is sucked out ?

I dont know, I'm just soooo confused!

[swarthyguy]

Noope, just a nice jihadi coup d'etat attempt by the military etc causing some kind of a civil war that forces the US to occupy the oilfields.

Too many royals will escape to Monaco and Switzerland and even the US but chaos, chaos, mayhem, riots and civil war among the military, the national guard, jihadis etc.

The only way to upset this gravy train is to run it off its tracks. Before the Saudis get their hooks into Iraq since the Iraqis owe them bucketloads of cash.

"....It is the strongest indication yet of the Saudi embassy's close dealings with radical Muslims in Germany -- a fact Riyadh has strongly denied....."

Any bets on whether this clown has an 'accidental heart attack while off a sand dune deep in the desert'?

[Betty Jo]

Neil Cavuto on FOX just read State Department warning for all non-essential diplomaic staff and family to leave Saudi now!

So, Swarthyguy, what did you know, and when did you know it ?????

[Shermy]

Occupying the oil fields might be easier, short term, than it might sound. Locals in the east are mostly Shi'ites, no fans of the House of Saud.

Iran might decide to demand AQ earn it's keep by hitting a critical pumping station or two in Saudi. Will increase Iranian oil profits handsomely.

[Betty Jo]

Warning in red on DRUDGE right now re leaving Saudi!

[swarthyguy]

Mentioned diplos, and private contractors, too.

Everybody out of the pool!

Nonessential American diplomats and the families of all U.S. officials in Saudi Arabia should leave, the State Department said Wednesday, stepping up its warnings about risks in the country.

Private U.S. citizens should consider leaving as well, the department said. And Americans making plans to go to Saudi Arabia were advised to defer any such travel in light of "the potential for further terrorist activities."

The departure of U.S. officials and family members was not ordered, but was voluntary. Expenses were to be paid by the U.S. government.

Americans who travel to Saudi Arabia or remain there despite the warning were told to register with the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh or the consulates in Jeddah and Dhahran so arrangements can be made to keep them up to date.

They say it's because of terrorist threats--but this type of withdrawal usually precedes BIGGER things.

Midnight Jan 2nd.

[Betty Jo]

Whats with that date?

[TaxRelief]

It's a bet for when "Saudi Arabia" begins its melt down.
