Saudis give up on US, instigate direct Gulf action against Iran

#2  The problem for the Saudis is: who is going to lead any action if the US doesn't? Not the Saudis themselves - they're too timid. Most of the other countries in the Gulf are too small - I mean Qatar? Ha! Iraq was able to fight Iran to a standstill (with thousands of casualties on both sides), but I doubt Iraq is in any mood right now to pick an overt fight with Iran.

#1  Wouldn't be surprised as the Saudis are afraid of expanding Iranian influence in the gulf and on their minority population.

Besides, the US sure as hell won't do anything about it with Bambi at the helm.
