Saudi armed forces on high preparedness. Egyptian troops ready to defend kingdom
Debka ^ | June 26, 2014 | Debka

Thursday, June 26, the day before US Secretary of State John Kerry was due in Riyadh, King Abdullah summoned a National Security Council meeting “upon the current security events in the region, especially in Iraq,” and ordered “all necessary measures to protect the kingdom against terrorist threats.”

This meant a general call-up of military units for a high level of preparedness.

DEBKAfile’s military sources disclose that Egypt is assembling an expeditionary commando force to fly to Saudi Arabia and bolster its border defenses.

This flurry of Saudi-Egyptian military steps comes in the wake of intelligence gathered by Saudi reconnaissance planes showing Iraqi Al Qaeda-linked Sunni fighters (ISIS) heading for the Saudi border and aiming to seize control of the Iraqi-Saudi crossing at Ar Ar (pop: 200,000).

Tehran has replicated for the Iraqi army the routine it established for Bashar Assad’s army, furnishing its needs on a daily basis as per its commanders’ requests.

Those requests come before a joint Iranian-Iraqi headquarters set up at the Iraqi high command in Baghdad for approval and the assigning of priorities for shipment.

At the same time, Saudi arms are flowing to the Iraqi Sunni tribes fighting alongside the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) against the Iraqi army and the Shiite Nouri al-Maliki's government.

They are coming in both overland and by airlift.

Exactly. Bush 41 could parachute in to keep the new world order safe for totalitarians. He could ride on Bubbas back. Boehner & Reid could cheerlead.

Debka is not even remotely a serious outlet for news or information. You can get more reliable information finding out what Bat Boy is up to in the Weekly World News.

They do not fear ISIS—they fear Iran and the coming Sumer State that will come out of the split up of Iraq. Northern Saudi Arabia is Sheia and could pave the way for a march on Mecca. Once they capture lands ISIS will need time to set up their state—then they may place demands on SA. They will want Mecca.

“The Mahdi will rule the world from Jeruselem because MECCA will be DESTROYED”.

“The flourishing state of Jeruselem will be when Medina is in RUINS, the ruined state of Medina will be when The Great War comes.

This is what they believe...no one more stridently then the Shia.

If you prefer the Bible, Saudi Arabia is the whore of Babylon.
