Life is a bitch but blowback is the real motherf**ker.

Just like Israel thought they were so clever when they created Hamas and now have for a few decades now had to deal with Hamas as a worse threat than what they thought they were countering.

Likewise, blow-back on the Saudis and Israelis (probably to a more limited extent, the US as well) is going to be bad enough to make whatever they thought they'd gain seem pretty worthless by comparison.

If nothing else, they pushed things to the point that it will be Turkey, not Syria, that ends up with the final say in whether a pipeline through Syria is safe enough to be workable. That, in and of itself, puts them in a worse position than they were in before they started this crap.
