Ugh. I wish that we had responsible leadership whom would squash ISIS like bugs.

I hope they get to mecca. The Saudi’s deserve to be the targets.
To: markomalley
I hate ISIS as much as anyone but the thought of the Saudi “royals” ending up in the hands of the head choppers is pretty appealing.

Fools. The Saudis have a functional military. Not in Israel’s class, and probably not in Egypt’s class, but definitely more than effective enough to gut these ISIS fools. We’re not talking disfunctional militaries such as Iraq’s and Iran’s. They’re seriously well trained and armed.
It will be a bloodbath.

However Iran would also like to regain control of Mecca.

If Saudis fight like Iraqis, then Saudi Arabia may have a big problem.
To: markomalley
Current and former U.S. officials say Saudi police, intelligence and counterterror units are more than capable of cracking down. They've done a very good job before, so good almost nobody heard about it. I would not bet on ISIS in Saudi Arabia.
If they're to succeed they'll have to get into the Saudi royal family because they're not going to supplant it. Bore from within. There have been several who have gone down that road never to return.
To: Billthedrill
There have been several who have gone down that road never to return.There was a 27 year old prince of the royal blood with ties to al-Quaeda who, shortly after 9/11, was found dead in his car in the middle of the desert. Cause of death: drowning. (Saudi Intelligence does things with such style!)

I hate ISIS as much as anyone but the thought of the Saudi “royals” ending up in the hands of the head choppers is pretty appealing. However, the thought of ISIS ending up in charge o the Saudi oil fields is not so appealing...

The Saudi government openly recruits headsmen these days, because I guess bursitis takes its toll. Maybe they should have executions on pay-per-view.
They might even use a guillotine, for run of the mill executions, saving the sword for celebrities.

‘Funky Cold Medina’ might be funky but will not be cold.
To: markomalley
The Saudis already wield an iron fist on pilgrims, using machine guns and recoil-less rifles with flechette rounds for crowd control.
I'm sure they would bring severe power on invaders, including M1 tanks, Bradley FVs, and F16 aircraft.
Unlike the Iraqis they will not break and run.
