I’m aware of that. I just don’t understand the logic behind it. Why would the Saudis want to keep the rebellion going? Defeat for the rebels in Libya goes a long way toward putting out the fire that’s been keeping Abdullah up at night.

Like I said, I think King Abdullah is letting a personal vendetta get in the way of the Saudi Royal Family's long-term interests. Wouldn't be the first time this kind of thing has happened, of course. I think that as the family patriach, he'd be able to look beyond such petty things*. But then again, maybe not...

* Other people have put their positions in danger over much more trivial matters. Clinton put his presidency in danger because he couldn't keep it in his pants. Etc, etc...

It’s really quite easy to understand. By aiding the radical’s in their attempt to overthrow Q-daffy-duck more bad guys will die and the end result will be less for our troops to kill.

But daffy said they will be finished with them in the next day or two.
