#2 El SISI had words of praise for Trump "“Mr. President, let me express our appreciation and respect,” Sisi said through a translator.

“Let me say that you have a unique personality that is capable of doing the impossible.”

Trump laughed and replied, “That’s very interesting…I agree.”" I agree...,I love it.

#3 It is my opinion that it cannot be done. But President Trump is the first American president who might possibly recognize that fact after performing the experiment, and the first who might openly place the blame where it properly belongs -- and make it stick. I think Bibi Netanyahu is counting on that.

#5 It is my opinion that it cannot be done.

Mine too. Short of a catastrophic war. Which may well be coming. The current Syrian and Yemen wars look to me like the Balkan wars that were the prelude to WWI.

#7 The Muslim middle east is fueled by hate filled zealots, oil revenue, and Saudi enlightened self-interest.

Oil revenue are drying up and the Saudi princes may be looking for survival now. Who knows what could happen when the jihad financing dries up. Can a frothing zealot survive on a diet of sand and blood?

#8 The one thing you need to know about the coming conflict in the Gulf is all Shiia oil exports need to transit the gulf. Most Sunni exports don't.
