This video shows MANY terrorists with Saudi passports.
The poor dears. Having created international terrorism out of whole cloth (see Al Qaeda), they don't like it when they cannot control their Frankenstein.
Your enemy’s enemy is not ALWAYS your friend!
The real problem is that they are stuck on Islam. That is “God with rabies.”
Camels stopping by to drop a load.
...the danger of a major supply cutoff cannot be ruled out. Iraq’s 3.3 million barrels per day exceeds what Saudi Arabia holds in spare capacity – which stood at 1.96 million barrels per day in the first quarter.
It is unlikely that Iraq will lose all of its production, particularly since two-thirds of its capacity is located south of the current turmoil, but should a significant volume be cut off from global markets, Saudi Arabia’s ability to make up for it is questionable.
The ISIL would be subject to A10s attacking their columns.
Is this group known as ISIS, ISIL, or both?
ISIS is Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
ISIS is also Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham. Another poster told me that al-Sham is the ancient reference to Damascus.
Thank you for the good response.
Jordan has been a fairly decent nation in some respects. I have a hard time seeing it support a group intent on overthrowing the leadership in Iraq.
Syria I can buy into, because we know of the terrorist element there. Lebanon’s government is now suspect, at least I believe it is.
Most of this sound reasoned but the Jordanian quotient.
Don’t let a crisis go to waste....
We are about to see 7 dollars a gallon gas.
Wonder why Obama is not allowing Keystone to go through?
Oh I wish ISIS would attack Saudi Arabia and leave the Syrians and Iraqis alone.
Heavens, I hope not. $7.00 a gallon would royally screw folks who drive a distance to work. Vacations? Forget about it.
These guys are delusional. The Saudi’s are helping fund ISIS.
Your wish is coming, somewhat. Iran will move in. Faced with two unacceptable choices to their north, Saudi Arabia will either pay someone to come bail them out or finally use that army they have been building. The Kurds will try to hold onto their area, but the Turks and Iran cannot allow that. It is the perfect storm of hate.
ISIS doesn’t need funding; they robbed Iraqi banks and it is estimated they have 500 million+ at this point (some estimates have them pegged at 2 Billion). They don’t need the Saudi’s, except for their heads.
They needed funding before and the Saudis’s have been backing them. But hey don’t get me wrong I have no love for the House of Saud. They feed the alligator hoping it will eat them last.
Actually, you are speaking of exSaudis. They left the Kingdom.
Saudis have been backing them, yes. The Saudis who wish the overthrow of the House of Saud for being to Western.
