#1 The Sauds financed the Paki intelligence theft from the Atomic Energy Commission of Canada, that led to the develop of the "Islamic Bomb." The principle of quid pro quo dictates that the Sauds got something for their money.

#3 IToldYouSo, dear, please spend some time reading the Rantburg archives. Of course you know a great deal, but you do want to make certain, with a nym like that, that you are actually telling us things we don't already know.

#4 I always thought it was Life, Death, Infinity, CBS. Wait a second... no that was Makus Sickby by M.D. I'll research.

#6 Hey Fred, the ad hominem spewers aren't balancing same with informative posts. Isn't that chippy "troll" conduct?

As a retired intelligence professional, you would be well aware that the Iraqi-Shiites-hate-Persian-Shiites line is pure spin. The cultural inter-change at the Ashoura blood fests attests to the budding unity, cum alliance, at the expense of American taxpayers. Al-Sistani is Persian; born and raised. Islamofascist tyranny has never been stronger, since the State Department sandbagged secularism in Iraq. Come on! Don't let Rantburgers rest in the transient comfort of pure illusion.

#7 Lol! Sigh. Where would us poor stupid toad Rantburgers be without you, IToldYouSo?

Pray, tell more! Explain why this isn't merely your Western brain-fart version and reflects Arab - Persian sentiments beneath the circle-jerk level of Ayatollahs. Obviously, Arab-Persian relations began when you began thinking about it. All those centuries of rivalry, hate, and conflict - not to mention that pesky little war don't count. Of course not.

Your bona-fides, please...

Please, tell us more about yourself - I find your idea fascinating - and convenient as hell - it's so Western and, therefore, so easy to follow... to think I discarded it back in 1980 during the Iran-Iraq War... all that effort of putting on Arab and Persian slippers avoided! Whew! Great!

So, let 'er rip! It's GREAT to have an expert show up who can make it all clear and easy to grasp! Speak! Speak!

All deluded Rantgurgers hate the transient comfort of illusion! Help Us!

BTW, you sound a lot like a guy who showed up here several months back and started out by posting this same Western Conventional Wisdom of a Qom-dominated Iraq. He also stated that Shi'a were the majority in the GCC, etc. He was a jackass, wrong from start to finish. You're not him, back with a new nym and riding the MSM skeer stories of Shi'a shenanigans, are you?

Naw, of course not.

Enlighten us with the facts, not mere speculative observations, that underpin your earth-shattering insights.

#8 Hey, IToldYouSo, c'mon back.

Post your half-assed brain-farts. It's cool. No one else gives a shit - so I give up. Wank away. Have fun.
