Report: Saudis might help Israel attack Iran in exchange for progress in peace process

[n2doc]

In private talks with European sources, the Saudis have expressed their willingness to cooperate with Israel on Iran, including use of Saudi air space by the IDF for a possible air strike, according to a report by Channel 2.

Cooperation with Saudi Arabia would not come free, however. According to the report, the Saudi officials said they would need to see progress between Israelis and Palestinians before having enough legitimacy to allow Israel to use their air space.

Arab governments, not only Israel, have been expressing concern over the development of a deal with Iran over its nuclear program, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

Talks with Iran over its nuclear program have instilled fear within some major Sunni states, such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates that a nuclear arms race will break out in the region, and brought about speculation regarding the possible extension of a US nuclear umbrella to its non-nuclear-armed Middle East allies.

Orwellian….

1. That and a little problem known as Yemen...

2. And if Israel & the Saudis do this without consulting with Obama, or do it over his objections

Cut off aid to the region. Let them reap what they sow. But do NOT involve our people to clean up the mess afterwards.

3. Cutting off aid should have done generations ago

It shouldn't have even been done in the first place but I don't fault FDR too much considering he wasn't aware of the unintended consequences as a result of his trade deal & the crucial need for cheap oil was at its peak concern during WWII.

Doing anything without our input... we should take our input out of Southwest Asia & creating messes is US gulf region foreign policy.

4. The "enemy of my enemy is my friend" policy

So the Israelis want to broker a deal with the Saudis.
Saudi Arabia is ruled by Sunni Muslims, Wahhabi's...
The terrorist group ISIS, is also Sunni, Wahhabi?

Israel and the Wahhabi Sunni's are going to be
allied against Iraq, a Shia Muslim nation.
Shia's are the religions majority in the both Iran and Iraq.

Keep in mind, between the Shia and the Sunni
the Shia are the more reasonable and less radical

Saudi Arabia is also dropping the bottom out of the oil market
in an effort to maintain market share, and conveniently
economically strangle Iran, Russia and lesser states.
Simultaneously, killing the fracking industry here in the USA.
A consequence of which, there will be sever economic damage
to our economy through bankruptcies and unemployment.

This will go just swimmingly <sarcasm thingy>
What could go wrong?
