#1 And I'm sure Sulieman will be right out front leading the charge. Oh, wait, that's the "little people's" job in the jihad. He's more in the public relations end...

#2 "I feel like Horatius at the bridge..." Yeah me too sometimes, but then I remind myself that Horatius couldn't call in B-52 strikes.

#3 Fred - this is the most chilling thing I've read in months... and I think you're dead right about the apparent cease-fire in SA.

Cutting a deal with Nayef would be the answer - for he controls the internal police and can work on behalf of the top 7 to protect the Royals' interests - and they control the Emergency Forces through the Clown Prince. The level of activity has, indeed, dropped off to nothing recently...

If OBL is still running the show, and that's no certainty, the Royals will still have to go, sooner rather than later. If he's gone, the others have shown a more pragmatic approach of late, and may not force it for some time - we know they've been slowed down, so the revenue stream is needed to ramp up the show. That worries me much more than the OBL version - they won't need the barter system the UN has just come to recognize as a financing alternative - they'll have state coverage and full protected access to the int'l banking system.

Additionally, it means that we would see some signs of a more cooperative attitude toward the Black Hats. The harboring of AlQ will have to be tolerated or the deal would not mean as much to AlQ. I don't mean trust - the Royals will still want the Pakis to offer them some nuke protection to keep pace. But a test of this may be the level of Saudi cooperation we get as the US gears up for the inevitable showdown with the Black Hats. They complained bitterly not long ago about Iranian lies and prevarication over AlQ leaders hiding out in Iran and the turnover of some wanted AlQ people. If that little row subsides it could be another point of confirmation.

I would dearly love to read the CIA assessment prepared for Dubya as all of the possible implications sink in. If this is on-target, then we will see well-funded attacks resume soon. That will help wake up all the sleeping dipshits in the West, but it may hurt like hell. I guess we all knew that more serious attacks was what it would take anyway - to make it real to the conspiracy morons.

I wish we had a corroborating source besides MEMRI to enhance the credibility. Thx for the post!

#4 Looks like there's been a power shift inside the "royal" family.

#5 Sounds like we need to get to work on helping the eastern quarter Shi'a 'liberate' their part of Arabia from the Saudis -- the sooner the better before the Pakis transport a couple of nukes into Soodiland. Then we and the newly-grateful Shi'a can sign the kind of non-aggression and mutual defense treaty that would make Kimmie jealous.

#6 If we have another sucessful AQ attack that kills abunch of Westerners(other than Canadians) or is in a Western country(othe than Canada), how much will the pressure increase on Iran?
