SAUDI’S TROUBLES…. LIKE I SAID.

On Monday, I talked about the troubles of the Middle East coming back to the forefront for the GCC nations.

Unfortunately for the Saudi’s the troubles are not just in Bahrain this time.

Shiite lead incidents bring about an instantaneous response from the Saudi Government…IRAN!!!!

The violence of the past three days could or could not be “supported” by Iran.

It all depends on the definition of “ support”.

At a minimum Iran give words of encouragement and rejoice in the idea of armed confrontations between Shii and Saudi government officials.

In the eyes of the Saudis I am sure they believe Iran has fully supported this event… right down to given direct orders on what to do and how to execute the acts.

One thing I should mention about that part of Saudi.

At the end of Desert Storm, I sat and watched Bedouins load their Toyota pickup trucks and their all White Caprice Classics, the preferred vehicle of that part of the world back then, with countless numbers of RPGs.. Automatic weapons, creates of grenades ect. Ect from the area we called “ The highway of Death” in Kuwait.

The Syrian Army checkpoints were more interested in US troops supplying  them with old worn out Playboy Magazines then they were checking Bedouin vehicles.

Besides that, the Bedouins would leave driving out over the desert sand not on the roads.

To this day we could never understand how they kept from getting those Caprice Classics and two wheel drive pickups from getting stuck.  The Saudis would tell us, “ The Bedouins can read the sand”.  Beats me!

My point is this, by the time we left that area, everyone of us knew the Bedouins would be the largest standing Army in that area.. Northeastern Saudi and Southern Kuwait.

Knowing  this, if these Shiites have access to virtually tons  of armament, the Saudi government could be facing a insurrection far beyond their wildest dreams.

One thing is for sure, Saudi and the nightmare of sectarian violence in Saudi is a real concern the Royal Family must deal with quickly.

The real problem will come when the Saudi government overreacts.

Yep… Iran has it going their way and Saudi knows it.
