#1 Can't have it both ways, Prince Saud Al-Faisal.

To use Israel to protect your country from Iran, you need Israel to survive, which means she must defend herself.

However, you need to placate your own rubes, and the other Arab rubes, so you put forth this drivel. You show weakness in this two-faced game, which will not end well for you.

#2 Welcome to Arab mentality, Alaska Paul.

#3 You'll have to forgive the Prince, the poor bastard has been defended by the U.S. for decades. He simply doesn't understand the concept of self-defense.

#4 Saudi Arabia is ruled by one family. Women have few to no rights. Saudi Arabia is a supporter of terrorism in the world. Of the 19 participants in the actual 911 attacks; 15 were from Saudi Arabia. There were certainly more involved who didn't directly participate in the attacks. SA practices a particularly virulent form of Islam; Wahhabism. This article and the Prince's statement must be for the home crowd consumption. It is not particularly appreciated here in the West. Well, maybe with the exception of the crowd in the White House.

#5 Spot on JQC.

I'm dreaming of the time when ISIS turns south with an eye on taking control of Mecca & Medina for the "caliphate".

Won't that be fun? Though the pop-corn bill may get out of hand it'll be worth it.

#6 One thing said in front of the other tribes, another behind the tent walls. Another aspect of Arab mentality.

#7 ISIS has twitted that the great stone skipping is idolatry.

#9 KSA might be concerned that the ISIS folks may try to destroy additional 'blasphemous monuments' (like a giant cube with a small chunk of meteorite in it).

Doing so would impact their 'Tourist Trade'.

#10 Saudi Arabia has currently exported the bulk of their more psychotic rubes who now form a good chunk of the ISIS. In the past they did the same thing to help fight the Soviets in Afghanistan.

They are betting they will be eaten last.
