[The actual Islamic tradition is to offer a truce when you've been beaten and need time to regroup, re-arm, and plan for the next offensive. See "Arafat".]
Correct. Now is the time to liberate Iran after which the Saudis will have to do our bidding or we will just give the Saudi oil fields to the Shiites as well as Iraq and Iran.
I think this is the time...but the Saudi's (Wahabbist's) and the Twelvers (Mahdi Shiites) are basically the same.
If the Administration doesn't understand the religious aspect of this war...they cannot understand the MO of the enemy.
