Amid all the global geopolitical tensions - which the stock market apparently believes are all fixed now - news that the motorcade of a Saudi prince was attacked in Paris by Kalashnikov-wielding gunmen takes on more relevance than it normally would. The attackers stole 250,000 Euros in cash and more crucially - "sensitive documents."
No suspects have been apprehended and to make matters more complex, local police noted "It's quite an unusual attack. They were obviously well-informed. It's true that it's quite a rare way of operating."

Unsealed Barry papers perhaps?
Sensitive documents? Recipe for how to get well drinking camel urine?
Secret documents? Are there ANY secrets these days? Surprise me. :o)
I read a story that ISIS is targeting Saudi intelligence. Lessee if the Saudis use their F-16s against those freaks!
Interpol?
The Saudis don’t have the balls to deploy their forces against ISIS. They know that to do so would risk mass defections to them, along with their equipment for doing so, as well as creating an insurgency in their own country against them. At best, the Saudis are hoping they can stay neutral and wait for it all to blow over whilst the West and the Peshmerga take care of them.
Sounds like something out of a Brad Thor novel.
Can you say, CIA?
First, ISIL must capture the desired territory that was Syria and Iraq. Then, the adult monied Sunnis can take control and settle down the radicals.
We should make a program so we can tell who is on the same team, and who is not.
Saudi is on the same “team” as ISIS.
Jordan is Sunni as well.
Most of the Saudi side of the Persian Gulf is Sunni.
The other side of the Persian Gulf is Shia.
In fact, outside of southern Iraq, the only other major concentration of Shia is Iran.
Sunni hate Shia, almost as much as they hate us people of the “book.” Of course, they hate anyone who is not a strict Sunni.
So, if you want a road map, they will move down Iraq until they get too close to the Iranians. They will destroy Shia holy places. This will end up with the Iranians coming across the border.
Did someone ask, “How will we ever get into a shooting war with Iran without provoking the rest of the world?”
Think chess, not checkers.
Except ISIS went north. Perhaps to give us just a little taste of their brutality. No one is going to “war” over the Yazidis. No one will go to war over beheading Muslims from Syria to Karbala.
If you take a step back, this is as plain as the nose on your face.
Documents written on typewriters and not created on computers or sent across the internet can be very secret and valuable.
The Saudí monarchy is to ISIS as Dr. Frankenstien is to its monster. It created to fundamentalist movements, but has lost control. Like Frankenstien, ISIS will return to kill its maker. The monarchy is not popular. ISIS is very popular among non royal Saudis. The largest number of twitter tweets of support are coming from Saudí Arabia. The monarchy can quickly find that the ground has shifted underneath its feet.
e.g. Obama’s real bio
That is a great description. I think you nailed it.
Vince, you took the words right out of my mouth.
Why should they, when they have Uncle Sucker to do their dirty work?
What about the Shiite’s?
No one gives a Shiite.
Seriously, I have seen it spelled both ways.
Is it possible one is singular and the other plural. I have no idea. But you know what I mean.
