I say suck as much money as we can out of the Sauds and use it to build up our military in the region and kill as many Islamic extremists as possible. Obama is cutting the military budgets to weaken America, why not use other people's money to repair at least some of the damage Obama has done and kill more Jihadists in the process?

Yet many blame the Saudi authorities for the rapid rise of IS, accusing them of funding and exporting an intolerant version of Islam that has become a stepping stone towards violent jihad. I have no doubt that the Saudis fund and export an intolerant version of Islam. (I believe that Wahhabism is the correct interpretation of that religion)
It's fine with the Sunni Saudis when Muslims kill Infidels and heretical Shias, but ISIS is sticking to the fundamentals of Islam and now the Saudis are targets.
When the Saudi OX gets gored by ISIS a change in plans is necessary. -Tom

Is al Baghdadi a real person? I’ve read an article on The Long War Journal which states al Baghdadi is played by an actor or a lower level member of Al Qaeda impersonating this imaginary grand imam. Al Qaeda is using this persona it to generate a wave of support across the Islamic world to restore the caliphate. If so, it is a very smart move because no matter how many times the US kills the impersonator, they can get another one in his place. Especially if they keep the “voice” separate. After “surviving” numerous assassination attempts, he will be seen as “miraculously” being preserved by God.

Don't panic.

Well, there goes my theory that if Mecca & the Kaaba were obliterated & the black stone pulverized into dust, that world Islam would just wither away.
Still, it’s hard to have any & I mean ANY sympathy for the sucky Saudis. Let ISIS destroy Mecca, Riyadh & Jiddah, while we secure the oil fields with tactical nukes.

side note: Nagasaki is a city full of energetic people making a better life for themselves. Enjoyed visiting the city and landmarks, memorials, one of the cleanest on our recent asiatic cruise.

Those I know who have been to Saudi talk of a semi-tolerated alcoholic drink called “my friend” in Arabic.
