#1 Wheels within squares within triangles... A Freedom-loving AlQ Caliphatist Neo-Zionist plot! Whew! How the hell do you fight that? The Saudis are doomed!

#2 A Freedom-loving AlQ Caliphatist Neo-Zionist plot!

Freedom-loving and CDLR should not be used in the same sentence. I just Googled them and was browsing their message board. Reads like any other jihadi site, I think the legitimate rights they want to defend are the rights to kill any infidel they want. I believe they oppose the Saudi Royals because they are not holy enough.

#3 Just having fun, Steve! And, BTW, this further supports my conclusion: the Magic Kingdom's Royals are doomed!

#4 So, .com, let's play this out. The Saudi royal family, such as it is, goes down. The lucky ones pack off to Switzerland. The unlucky ones go down in a hail of lead. What happens to the oil fields and production? Who is going to deal with Jihadis? Will the Saudi share of world production get cut off for a long time? It seems that once Al and the Q's take over, they have killed off the host, and thus themselves. Game this for me, if you would.

#5 I believe that Saudi Arabia will become more like Iran. I do not think that they will cut off production but China and Eurabia will be getting most of its export.

With a truly poED US the SA has control over pumping but zero control over who gets the oil. In a serious situation the US Navy will broker how the oil is distributed.

#7 Gee, AP, there's this 40 km strip of land on the Persian Gulf that could form the basis for the Republic of Eastern Arabia ...

... just pre-empting .com :-)

#8 Boys, why worry about who gets the oil?
After this attack, a good number of Western oil workers left SA already..and if the situation doesn't get better (which it won't), the rest will leave, too.
SA can't pump any oil without expat oil people to help them get it out of the ground and refine it.
They don't know how and such work is "beneath them," doncha know?
As my friend dotcom said, the Sauds are doomed because even the home-grown Waahab terrorists like OBL and AQ that they spawned, funded and supported think they're corrupt and debauched (which they are) and must be deposed.
