CAIRO — As America talks to Iran, Saudi Arabia is lashing out against it.
The kingdom, Iran’s chief regional rival, is leading airstrikes against an Iranian-backed faction in Yemen; backing a blitz in Idlib, Syria, by jihadists fighting the Iranian-backed Assad regime; and warning Washington not to allow the Iranian-backed militia to capture too much of Iraq during the fight to roll back the Islamic State, according to Arab diplomats familiar with the talks.
Through Egypt, a major beneficiary of Saudi aid, the kingdom is backing plans for a combined Arab military force to combat Iranian influence around the region. With another major aid recipient, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia is also expected to step up its efforts to develop a nuclear bomb, potentially setting off an arms race in the region.

The House of Saud will be exterminated in less than 3 years. Anyone want to take that bet?
For all the damage the 0bama regime has done to our country with domestic policy, it’s nothing compared the catastrophe of our foreign policy. I read history; a lot of history. I cannot think of a worse foreign policy conducted by any other nation, ever. Not the powers of Europe before the last two world wars. Since I cannot believe anyone is capable of being that stupid and incompetent, I come down on the side of corrupt and deliberate.

You’re on.
Now the challenge for me is to remember. I’ll put the post in my links.
John Titor just might be right after all...
“...abandoned allies...”
Abandoned ? Yes!
Insulted, crossed and betrayed.... etc., as well.
“O” is so busy humping Iran’s leg that he doesn’t know or care about our allies.
I’ve been saying the Soddies were going to get their throats cut for quite some time now. That’s what Bin Laden was all about. Making the call for 3 years is a bit iffy but with the Grand Kenyan speeding things up it could happen in two. I already sent in the 20 bucks just to buy a ticket to watch. Since muzzie-on-muzzie violins is music to my ears I get confused about which side to clap for.
Pahkeestan.
Prediction: the Saudis WILL allow IAF to refuel in country.
Just imagine how Obama would have wailed like a baby if he found out about the Saudi plans ahead of time. The Saud’s are doing what ?....Don’t they realize that it could harm my negotiations ?
“.....and warning Washington not to allow the Iranian-backed militia to capture too much of Iraq...”
So I’m curious. When ISIS is kicked out of Iraq with the help of Iran Militias...who will be embedded within the Iraqi army, how do we praytell get them out of Iraq or worse yet, what do we do, if they set their sites on lets say the Kurds to the North, or the Saudi’s to the South?
I mean do we send them a hashtag poster that politely asks them to leave?
