The winning response to the article's premise. I do not doubt the fifth column is in place waiting for a signal. As it would be a political uprising, i.e., an Arab Spring, current US leadership would welcome it. No invasion forces needed, few if any shots fired.

Saudi Arabia is populated by Sunnis. Iran is Shi'ite. Regardless of the corruption of the Saudi throne, I doubt the Saudi populace would look favorably upon a Shi'ite coup.

" I doubt the Saudi populace would look favorably upon a Shi'ite coup."

You are correct on the Sunni-Shi'ite conflict, but think Muslim Brotherhood as most of the populace in SA is not of a native tribe, but rather imported workers. Iran will over look sectarianism in the beginning to get the Caliphate established.
