Saudis ‘would let Israeli jets use their air space to attack Iran’
The Times of Israel ^ | February 25, 2015

Posted on 02/24/2015 6:02:28 PM PST by nuconvert

Saudi Arabia is prepared to let Israeli fighter jets use its airspace if it proves necessary to attack Iran’s nuclear program, an Israeli TV station reported Tuesday, highlighting growing ties in the shadow of Tehran’s nuclear drive.

Riyadh’s only condition is that Israel make some kind of progress in peace talks with the Palestinians, Channel 2 reported Tuesday, citing an unnamed senior European source.

“The Saudi authorities are completely coordinated with Israel on all matters related to Iran,” the European official in Brussels said.

Jerusalem and Riyadh do not have diplomatic ties, but unconfirmed reports have swirled for years of coordination between them against the common enemy of Iran, a partnership that may ramp up should the world powers reach a reportedly emerging deal that would allow Tehran to continue enriching some uranium.

You need to understand that the “Twelvers” who run Iran welcome that firestorm. It works into their apocalyptic prophecy.

Making a statement like that is like telling someone into S&M that if they don’t behave you will spank them.

Is it possible that Obama’s playing good cop-bad cop with the Iranians?

Awhile ago I was convinced that Obama was a Sunni Muslim. He withdrew support for the Shia dominated government in Iraq. He increased support for the Sunni dominated government in Afghanistan. He supported Sunni rebels against the Alawite dominated government in Syria. Now, he starts playing nice to the Shia in Iran? The only conclusion I can come to is he is a committed communist. Frank Davis captured his mind. Communists use Muslims as fodder against their opposition. They don't care about sects.

Unless the real plan is march 2nd..Muahahaha.. Seriously, I do not think the Israeli offensive attack planners share much with the local international news outlet.

I also believe he is Sunni, but Jarrett is Shiite and they will do what they can to take down capitalist America, fulfilling the command of Reverend Wright and the Iranian Imam.

These savages do beheadings, stonings, etc. - I don’t see how they’re very different. I guess it’s ok when they’re doing the slaughtering.

When the Saudis behead their own criminals, I do not see a problem. When ISIS kidnaps Christians and beheads them, I see a problem.

Why is the US so much more "moral" than Saudi Arabia when we botch an execution and it takes hours for the condemned to die, of a sub-lethal injection, when the Saudi executioner kills his subject in seconds.

That is the difference.

Oh how nice of those Camel Jockeys! How about them taking part in an attack as well? No? Leave the dirty work to the Jews? Hmmmmm, been there, done that many times...Wait, how about the Western powers get off their rear-ends and put Iran out of business? How about showing some diplomatic backbone for a change instead of always caving in to the Mullahs’ demands? Why do we have to reach a point of no-return attack? Same thing happened up to 1981 when the Israelis took out Saddam's Osirak facility and then again in 2007 in Syria. What is wrong with the planet? Only the Israelis show consistency in fighting world terror?

Totally agree. When we were in the UK from 85 - 96 they preached OPSEC and being aware of giving secrets away and they were right. Now we draw up our plays and leave the playbook open for the other team.

I am quite convinced of this.

I guess I’m not thinking so much of methodology, but what they consider a criminal.

In spite of the fact I would love to see Israel take out the threat that Iran’s nuke program(s) poses, heck rather see the USA and Israel take out Iran’s nuke program,
Why then ? do I get this bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that this will not end well for Israel ?

I get a bad feeling that the Saudis and other Arab and Muslim countries, Isis, Hamas, Syria are setting up Israel ?
Yes, Israel feels and is threaten by the existential threat that Iran’s nuke’s program poses, I don’t blame Israel one bit.

However in spite of all these factions in the middle east fighting each other,
Why then ? do I get the feeling that once Israel bombs Iran’s nuke sites that all those crazies in the middle east will turn on Israel like a scorpion ?

The whole world would condemn Israel and declare a hot war on Israel from all sides and all nations in that area ?
It’s dammed if you do, dammed if you don’t for Israel.
May the God of Israel protect Israel in Jacobs trouble.
We are living in very dangerous and troubled times.

In spite of their need to protect themselves from the crazy Mullahs, Israel is being set up, don’t trust a Arab or Muslim, lying bastards.

That would be in effect those respective countries, in spite of their differences, telling the West “You have played us long enough”.

No, he's playing up to his and Kerry's level of competence -- Barney Fife.

Since the first Gulf war back in the early 90s, the Saudis and Israelis have had 'relations.' The truth in the chaotic Mid East, is the Saudi Royal Family and the Israelis have far more in common than they have differences.

Neither can let that fact be common knowledge.

“If true, this speaks volumes about the seriousness of the threat.”

More likely their desire to protect their skins.
