#1 Some months ago I heard a famous Merkin say, "You're either with us or against us." Looks like it's time for the House of Saud to pick.

#2 Matt, the Sauds decided which side they were on when the planes slammed into the buildings...

#3 Looks like Saudi Arabia is ripe for a coup.

#4 Methinks the House of Saud had its choice made for it.. they've just been a bit slow to realize..
If they don't jump soon, they may find they've got no choices at all.

#5 âThe only area where there is no evidence of a significant Al Qaida presence is the Saudi Royal Air Force,"

#6 The question is, who does the coup? The compromised military or the non-compromised military.

I think SA is going to get real ugly real fast...

#8 I'm waiting for the current generation to be replaced by their sons. Just think, all those cousins who aren't going to be king, and who will eventually have to be cut off from the gravy train. Sounds like a situation tailor-made for civil war.
