this idiot in the white house has allowed chaos and for those liberals and liberal-tarians who keep saying we should reduce our military and leave the world to their own then they need to wake the hell up and get off their drug.

Makes you wonder why Obama picks a fight with Israel while all this is going down.
(Yes, rhetorical question, we all know Obama wants the Middle East in flames and to destroy old alliances).

I’m sure the Saudi’s will afford ISIS and Al Qaeda the same rights Obama gives terrorists. /sarcasm
Saudis are going to slaughter them on sight.
To: kristinn
And all this time I thought Yemen was our ally in the war on terror. Shouldn’t Obama put Saudi Arabia on the list of terrorist states for bombing our dear ally? /s

Saudis might even drive the price lower in order to starve their enemies.

Gotta get the price of crude up somehow.

I think nearly the entire Mid east will soon be involved in a war.

Overheard outside of Valerie Jarrett’s office upon hearing of the Saudis entering the fray:’excellent!’

As much as I want to see the price of crude recover for the US industry, the opposite may happen in that the Saudis may increase production to pay for military action. Of course if a few Iranian/Isis backed terrorists blow up Saudi petro installations, it would indeed cause a price rise.

My guess is a lot of Saudi intelligence assets were compromised by those documents. So the Saud’s are trying to rescue and save them.

$3 gas may be worth it, if it opens up West Texas wells and North American shell oil to more development.
That would reduce our dependence on ME oil even more. IIRC, we have reduced our dependency just over 50%.

The Iranians will control the Straits of Hormuz and the Yemen Red Sea southern exit (Suez canal). Look for Egypt to join the fray.

The Saudis are our allies and the Iranians are our new friends.
What could possibly go wrong here?

Greta Van Susteren just announced that Saudi Arabia had begun operations in Yemen as part of a coalition of ten countries. She gave no further details. Anyone have more details? Have the Saudis put together their own alliance in the absence of the US doing anything but running and leaving 500 million in armaments for the Iranian rebels to seize and use?

YEMEN crude oil production rank in the world - #39
SAUDI ARABIA crude oil production rank in the world - #1
Don’t see it going up all that much.
Maybe some...

Saudi seems to be taking sort of a lead -- and why not? This is now on their border.
