| PS: If this doesn't occur, ISIS missed the opportunity, and we're all better off for their mistake. PPS: ISIS is a theocratic network of networks that is both entrepreneurial and dynamic. The KSA is a theocratic hierarchy that's risk averse and inflexible. Which one wins? |

| #5 It may be that SA is keeping oil prices very low as a hedge against ISIS attacking them. They are betting that the U.S. and others would be more likely to come to their aid. |

| #4 Maybe it will happen as the writer outlined. Maybe not. So far ISIS has made inroads into countries that are very shaky at best; namely Syria and northern Iraq. The Saudis might not be such a pushover. ISIS has had difficulty when there is an organized military pushback such as that mounted by the Peshmerga. |

| #1 Might happen. If it does, SA is going to dearly wish they had got under an Israeli nuclear umbrella, as Iran will be in there like a seagull on a dead prawn. |
