Interesting Article. Opinions please. Looks like the Saudis are going to get bit in the butt from there own actions.


It appears -- even now -- that Saudi Arabia's ruling elite is divided. Some applaud that ISIS is fighting Iranian Shiite "fire" with Sunni "fire"; that a new Sunni state is taking shape at the very heart of what they regard as a historical Sunni patrimony; and they are drawn by Da'ish's strict Salafist ideology.

Other Saudis are more fearful, and recall the history of the revolt against Abd-al Aziz by the Wahhabist Ikhwan (Disclaimer: this Ikhwan has nothing to do with the Muslim Brotherhood Ikhwan -- please note, all further references hereafter are to the Wahhabist Ikhwan, and not to the Muslim Brotherhood Ikhwan), but which nearly imploded Wahhabism and the al-Saud in the late 1920s.

Many Saudis are deeply disturbed by the radical doctrines of Da'ish (ISIS) -- and are beginning to question some aspects of Saudi Arabia's direction and discourse.

It's a Middle East problem, it's up to the Middle Eastern countries to do something about it. Or not.

Either way, I don't want to see another American serviceman die trying to help and protect the people of the ME. Nothing there is worth that.

Yep, these fools who think it should be left to others in their aeea don't realize they are coming here for your wives and daughters. When you get home from work and find your wife's head hanging on a pole, I bet you change your mind... I'm sure she would like to lose a few pounds, but that technique isn't health.
Wise up fast or it will be your head or someone you love, 'cause it's going to happen if not stopped now..

I'm watching a report on TV right now about Isis planning on introducing the bubonic plague in the US to wipe out large segments of the population. They have many Americans fighting for them and those turn coat Americans have free access to our county. Send a few over and have them distribute the plague in water supplies around the country, and ISIS will be planting their flag in the White House.
This is serious stuff, non-believers, better wake up before you don't wake up..!
Comrade obama is letting anyone with two feet walk across the southern border, don't think for one minute those are all hard working Mexican's coming to pick tomatoes...

I don't think it is the conservative types from what I have seen but from the NeoCon Globalist types that look at any conflict in the world as our business to meddle in.
