With the official announcement of US forces withdrawing from
Iraq , Saudi may have the
"proxy" battlefield it needs to confront Iran
Now, most of us realize the border of Iraq and Kuwait
It's is also well known the US and Allied forces have kept
the confrontation between Sunni and Shia in Iraq under control for several
years now, even as Saudi tried to keep the fire burning.
Saudi has had ample time to build it's plan for
confrontation in Iraq
For all the talk of how Iran
will " call the shots" in Iraq ,
Saudi will not sit back and let Iran
Saudi will not allow Iran
to open a Two Front Campaign on Saudi, Yemen
and Iraq
If Saudi's resolve was somewhat passive, that all but died
when the US
And finally, the possible new future leadership of Saudi, Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz
will see Iran
None
of this is taking place in a vacuum, or you would hope it's not!
What
will be difficult for the US
When
you stack this Saudi, Iranian growing tension on top of the issues of social
unrest and weekend state governments, it's easy to see just how volatile the
whole region remains.
As
for the Iranian leadership, if they, and I don't think the two of them are
doing a great deal of joint strategizing right now, believe for a minute the
Iranian plans for Iraq are going to execute as planned, then they are sucking on the Shisha pipe too
hard!
I
will go back to my comments last week about Saudi and Syria
Assad
knows all too well how the alleged plot on the Saudi Ambassador will impact his
survival.
He
and Syria
