STRANGE BEDFELLOWS
So what's it going to take to head off the "Tunisian Virus" leading to open hostilities in Israel?
If you don't believe the 'end state' of the uprisings in the Middle East is not angry mobs marching on Israel, you need to look at buying some Oceanfront property in Arizona.
Iran will not rest until the ' day of rage' is a week of violence in Jerusalem.
Israel knows this and so does the Us, at least I think the Us knows this. I wouldn't place any bets, but we can hope!
I know I have already talked about the relationship that may have to develop between Saudi and Israel to keep the " Persian Empire" from forming, but I have struggled with figuring out how this might come about..
The common bound is the simple truth that nether country believes they can count on the US during the crisis.
I'm not totally sure that is true, but I do understand their concerns.
Perception is reality and the perception in Israel and Saudi is they cannot depend on the US.
So what do they have to offer each other?
This is the part I didn't talk about before.
Saudi has one huge strategic as well as tactical aspect to Israel's planning for Iran.
Location... Location... Location.!!!
Israel may not be able to launch strikes from Saudi, but quietly being able to cross its airspace and utilize the air bases for refueling would drastically shorten the attack scheme.
In the typical fashion of Arab State of Affairs, Saudi would deny and deny again any support or even knowledge of Israel Air Operations over on Saudi soil.
Somewhat like when I worked 30 miles outside of Mecca and listen to the King announce no Americans were on Saudi ground!!
Ok; short and sweat!
Saudi needs help to stave off what they know is coming.
Israel must prevent the "Tunisian Virus" from developing into "days of Rage" in Israel.
Here is the problem.
They are running out of time.
This will not happen overnight and the 'Virus' is moving much faster than both of them are planning.
The window of this alliance is not going to last long.
Side note:
I have watched the Libyan 'Rebels' potentially change their tactics in the past 24 hrs.
This could be the first sign of my prediction of 'new leadership' taking the over in their cause.
Yep, the alliance with the Radicals may be underway, but I want to watch a few tactical issues over the next day or so to prove to myself this is true.
Hint; keeping the Media away from the 'Rebel' frontlines is a possible first sign of the 'change'.
We will see.
