True, yet will toss out a possible ... saudi family has to treat their protectors the military exceptionally well (would think) to maintain the support of their military heads. You mentioned internal divisions within the saudi royal family. Think if a few of the royals decided to go to the evil side (for whatever reason) and paid some of their military leaders to create havoc through and via assassinations of family members. Say this did not actually happen but was made to look like it had happened. Now while this does not appear likely, would greed enter into and make this a situational possibility? Maybe not ... depends on how well paid everyone is with American and world money but the avenues into starting a fire within the house of saud does not look that difficult. Many want the house of saud to be history. One possible to set up conflict within the house ... maybe.

The Ottoman Empire was the last caliphate, but definitely not the first.

There are so many varying and operative parties involved in this war, additionally all the dis-information out there to drive it, making it difficult to point the finger in any one direction as I see it.

The bottom line, however, is this war is nothing all that unusual when you look at the history of warfare in the M.E.
Much if not all is based on tribal ideology, it doesn't take much for the average man there to pick up arms....and with little reasoning behind that decision.

When you add in the political maneuvering done by all OTHER countries who have a vested interest in Assad's demise and the desired outcome for their individual agenda's,...well as we know it's really never about the people as much as it is the powers that be and their desired end in this whole M.E. affair.

Amongst this we have Russia and China sleeping together now....who pretty much keep their agenda's for the M.E. hidden ....they're to be watched very carefully IMO.

for some reason reports regarding Assad are being called greatly exaggerated ... http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/rumors-assad-shooting-highlights-syria-chaos-article-1.1297939 from four hours ago.

The plot is intriguing. Perhaps we are living within a mini-series.

He’s had plenty of time for a balcony photo-op to debunk the
rumors. Or someone to say ‘I just talked to him, he’s alive’.

The royals have more in common with each other than with anyone else. There are a lot of them, and they have patronage-driven entourages, but there are nearly 20 million Saudis (and nearly 5 million “guest workers” who are generally treated abominably), and much of the oil patch is Shiite.

The jihadis used to have a practice of putting a rose on their intended victim’s pillow to show them how close they could get.

If this really happened, sure is taking a long time for all the players to agree to the division of spoils.

And proves that LSM all over the world are muzzled.

The muzzles maybe are on more than just the media. Lots of money flowing.

The possibilities of a situational possibility ... the shear numbers cause pause.
