An Israeli General said to me a few weeks ago that he did not feel the Nuke Missiles that Iran were setting up were for Israel, but for use against Saudi Arabia. He said he felt that within two years the Saudi's would be run out of Mecca by hardliners.

I wonder if this story has more than meets the eye?

That would the the Taliban and the followers of Ayotollah Khomeni.

Very reasonable. Very World War III-ish.

Self-delusion is alive and well in the IDF. There are but 2 targets of an Iranian nuke; Tel Aviv and New York City.

He said he felt that within two years the Saudi's would be run out of Mecca by hardliners.

That wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Don't forget one other variable in the mix -- the Hashemite dynasty were the traditional protectors of Makkah and Madinah until the Sauds kicked them out (with a little help from the Brits)
