Saudi, Saudis everywhere.

Any bets on a meltdown date for the Tragic Kingdom?

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

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?

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!
