#1 Commanders are concerned that Saudi and other foreign fighters are co-ordinating the attacks in a "consensual environment", in which the locals will not tell the military where roadside bombs have been planted.

#2 Not to be rude about our Brit friends, but they've had their head in the sand about Iran in that region for some time. Their policies have benefits, but also costs and now the time has come to pay those costs.

The notion that it's the Soddis is questionable, at best. Why not blame the Kuwaitis? From purely a geographic and economic point of view, they're equally likely. Realisticly, it's Iran and a few odds and sods.
