The Saudis' Duplicity

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has now weighed in decisively on the Egyptian imbroglio by declaring his strong support for his “Egyptian brothers against terrorism, deviance, and sedition.” And the brothers he has in mind are not the Saudis’ long-term clients in the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) but their military oppressors. To underscore the decisive nature of this shift, the kingdom’s state-controlled press promptly wrote off the Brotherhood as “no longer relevant politically,” in stark contrast with Washington’s feeble efforts to prove the opposite.

By siding openly with the military and pledging economic aid, the Saudi monarch has essentially given carte blanche to General al-Sisi and his colleagues to outlaw the Brotherhood, thereby staking out a position diametrically opposed to that of Erdogan’s Turkey and ultimately that of Erdogan’s acolytes in the Obama administration.

This is an excellent article. Among other things it gives a concise history of the MB and an excellent summary of its ideology, showing how virulently anti-American and anti-freedom it is. Also notable is that, until just now, the Saudis wholeheartedly supported it, support that included subsidizing MB controlled mosques throughout the world, including here in the U.S. Indeed, it looks like it would be hard to find a mosque here that isn't a beachhead of anti-Ameridan hatred and subversion, all of it supported by the Mahdi and his Regime.

All this article shows is if we push a button here we get kicked in the ass there. They are ALL our enemies.

Pull out and let these animals all kill each other.

The Sauds are ruthless pragmatists in their pursuit of a new caliphate that THEY control.

The Sauds dumped the MB in Egypt because they were getting a bit out of hand and were gumslapping about Cairo as the new locus of Islam’s power, not Mecca/Median/Riyahd. Had the Egyptian army been brought to bay and become loyal to the MB, and with the rallying cry of death to Jews in Israel, ....they would have been the tall dogs, not the Sauds.

Now it will be hilarious to see Imam Obama (blessings be unto his name) and the other DC Saudi bought lapdogs and morons contort themselves into the new paradigm the Saud’s demand.

This dramatic change of events also throws the planned war against Syria’s Assad into disarray. Those holy warriors can not be contained either. Watch the Sauds try to pour sand all over that fire. Again, this leaves lots of rhetoric to rephrase...hell they were already on the street this week with a likely false flag chem weapons usage to justify Western involvement. The Euro Dopes (including France for cripes sake) just today said this demanded action!

Oh, wait. King Abdullah just called....never mind.

Sauds see themselves at the head of new Arab Empire. Egyptian MB sees themselves at the head of same based in Cairo. Freelance jihadists across N. Africa and mid-east see a liberated Damascus as the locus of power with uber-rads in charge.

Now we have the Turks.....Istanbul and a restored Turk-Ottoman Empire, is their post Ataturk vision of bliss.

Maybe, just maybe they kill so many of themselves that they forget about the infidels for awhile.

I said it after 9-11 and I will repeat: West is best.

[B4Ranch]

Does the article confirm your beliefs or enlarge them to accept the facts of reality?

[libstripper]

Says it like it is.

They’re all criminals belonging to the same filthy koranimal herd. Time to RICO them.

Erdogan has no acolytes in the Obama administration, Iran does. That's the reason Zero and his cadre has given the Iranian mullahcracy carte blanche to build nuclear weapons and operate militarily in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, the Red Sea chokepoint, South America, and many other places.

[Berosus]

I guess Obama is finding out that bowing to King Abdullah wasn’t worth the controversy it caused for him.

[SunkenCiv]

They probably knew he couldn’t be trusted at that time, they just didn’t know how far in the bag he was for our Iranian and Russian enemies.

Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt’s military — even as Cairo’s security forces massacre anti-government activists.
