The Spice must flow... You'll have the oil provinces occupied by western military forces if Saudi Arabia doesn't handle this forcefully.
It does make me wonder why there have been no attacks on the regime but all sorts of attacks both the citizenry and westerners. Just how eager is Al Qaeda & Co. to depose the royal family? We can't trust either side, that's for certain.
Yes, indeedy. The Saudi princes got bitten in the backside by their own creation and I'll bet they've already made frantic phone calls to good old Uncle Sam.
We can only hope. For that matter, we should take over the Saudi oil fields immediately. They're separated from Riyadh by hundreds of miles and desert. Isolating them would be no problem - all we'd have to do is threaten to cut off the pipelines that lead to Riyadh & the rest of the country.
