| #8 Palestinian use of WMDs would be catastrophic for them and for those who supplied the chemicals / rockets. I dearly hope so, RWV. At that point, Israel could finally expel every single Palestinian, breathing or not, to surrounding Arab nations and be done with this farce once and for all. Absolutely NO ONE amongst the Muslims really wants an end to this festering Middle East wound. Should the Palestinians cross that point of no return by using WMDs of any sort — and we all know they will the instant that they can — then they forfeit even the current pretense of entitlement. The Palestinians somehow manage to epitomize all of the malignancy which we can expect from Islam in general. No easy task, they nonetheless manage with an almost effortless ease to concentrate all the venom, bile and vitriol which Islam has in such abundance and then distill it into a concentrated locus of genocidal hatred. The Palestinians using WMDs against Israel is a foregone conclusion. It's only a question of which other Muslim majority country is irrational enough to provide them these foul arms that remains to be seen. May all involved in such a nefarious scheme perish from the face of this earth. |

| #7 Last month the Jewish state engaged in a nationwide wartime drill, acting out responses to various wartime scenarios, including salvos of chemical-tipped missiles and major terrorist attacks. Palestinian use of WMDs would be catastrophic for them and for those who supplied the chemicals / rockets. |

| #6 preparing Iran's battle plans for a conflict past 20-30 minutes might be a wasted effort |

| #5 do WE even buy oil from iran, if not then how would lowering prices hurt them? since more than likely there are already contracts in place |

| #4 The KSA no longer has the ability to control prices. They might be able to run up production to 10 MBPD for a couple of months, but that's it. |

| #3 Why not just have the Saudis lower the price of oil and the US could give them $$$ on the side somehow to make up for it? Saudia Arabia doesn't get hurt, the US doesn't change its status quo, and Iran takes it in the teeth. |

| #2 The Saudis are following their own slow-bleed strategy, much like that advocated by their agent, Rep. Murtha. |

| #1 While following links to an article posted here I ran across another commenter's suggestion concerning Iran. Our putative ally, Saudi Arabia, could put Iran on the ropes in a matter of weeks. Simply lowering the price of oil to where production became unsustainable for Iran to compete effectively would crash their economy. Yes, the Saudis would lose a few billion in oil revenue, but there would be an Arab solution to an otherwise intractable problem confronting the entire peninsula. Clearly, expecting Muslims to solve each other's problems is a bit much to hope for, but these sort of solutions need to be aired so that this world can bear witness to how unwilling the entire MME (Muslim Middle East) is in regard to dealing with its own issues. Only by highlighting these sort of untapped solutions can it be made clear why repeated military intervention will become a necessary pattern of events. |
