Iranian General Says Saudi Arabia Will Soon Be Toppled
NY Times ^ | April 27, 2015 | THOMAS ERDBRINK

A senior Iranian general said on Monday that the leadership of Saudi Arabia, a regional rival, was on the edge of collapse and would be toppled soon, “God willing.”

Saudi-led bombardments on Yemen are “shameless and rude and an affront to all Islamic values,” the head of the 150,000-strong Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, said during a speech in Tehran.

Last week, Saudi Arabia announced a halt to its operations in Yemen, which started a month ago, only to restart bombing a day later.

What we have here, is a failure to communicate.

I don’t know about that, but with no weapons resupply I will predict that the Houthi rebels will soon fall. Iran has no way to re-supply them over land so if we can squeeze them out of re-supplying them by sea or air, this insurgency should be able to be strangled.

Iran could wipe the entire Saudis in just a couple days. I hope the world do not second guess at the power of Iran and heaven help us when they get the bomb.

I don’t think that will happen.

Rumor has it that Saudi Arabia has nukes.

It is time for Saudi Arabia and Israel to team up and destroy the Iranian government, and don’t tell the US in advance.

Iran has a bunch of blowhards.

Saudi Arabia has a bunch of money.

Yeah. Let’s see how this turns out.

yeah, we had that chance four years ago but had the wrong president at the time.
americans who voted for obummer don’t know it but they signed their kids’ death warrants a dozen times over.

I just wish it was only them and theirs that would perish in the coming onslaught

I wouldn’t give a @##$ then

Either way, since most 9/11 terrorists were Saudi and funded by Saudis, should we object or maybe send Iran a warm thank you once the Kingdom of Saud is no more? I say send them the thank you.

Not yet , but they're working on getting some.... fast. Supposedly Pakistan will sell them some, but it wouldn't surprise me if Israel secretly sold the Saudis a few. They have hundreds. The only thing worse for the mullahs than getting nuked is getting nuked by a "kosher" bomb.

And I suspect the Israelis have the ability to install software on the bombs what would allow them to be disarmed should they fall into the wrong hands at some future time..

If the General is waiting for a “popular uprising” to unseat the Saudis I’d advise him to please hold his breath. Nevertheless, ISIS versus the Iranian-backed Houthi in Yemen? How awful. We should do something. I’m thinking of sending a sympathy card.

I see The highway of Death, redux.

In many areas of the region.

I have never seen this question answered (or even asked...)

If Congress declares war on (fill in the blank,) can the so-called "Traitor-in-chief" ignore the directive?

Would the military react in faithfulness to their oath?

Enemies both foreign and domestic, and all that...

Send both sides napalm and poison gas.

Congress’s last legal declaration of war used the language “authorizes and directs the President to wage war...”

This is as it should be, IMO.
