| [Ynet] Analysis: The strongest Arab country today is leading the Sunni battle against an Iranian takeover of the Middle East. Once the ’black monster’ ISIS disappears from the region, the ’yellow monster’ Hezbollah will become the largest and most dangerous Islamic terror organization in the world, receiving orders from Tehran‐and this is something the Saudis are unwilling to accept. Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... is declaring war on Hezbollah, not for its love of Israel as much as for its hatred of Iran. Not a day has passed in the past few months without the Saudi press attacking the Lebanese organization and its leader, Hassan Nasrallah. |

| #9 And once Iraqi "army" run from ISIS, it was reconstituted - with USA support - from Shia militias. The ones owned by Iran. What, you think Obama gave all this money and threatened using USA forces to stop IAF attack on Iran's nuclear assets just on ValJar's say so? |

| #8 I could be wrong but I think Iran got a free pass first, projected into the region after the US pulled out peacekeepers, and ISIS was the Sunni response. |

| #4 I understood ISIS to be a Sunni operation propped up by Saudi Arabia to (a) get the worst zealots out of the magic kingdom (b) fight the Shia takeover of the region. ISIS is basically gone leaving the Saudi's a bit desperate. |

| #3 They probably share ISIS as well - cui bono? |

| #2 Of course, g(r)omgoru. The Saudis partially own Al Qaeda and ISIS, sharing Al Qaeda with Iran. |

| #1 The only problem is, Saudis themselves are no better. |
