I seem to have to beat a dead horse an awful lot lately. I guess is appropriate that once again it is over a problem he created. As I watch the situation in Yemen devolve and the 2nd link to follow stating that with one side supported by Sunni Saudi Arabia and the rebels by Shiite Iran this “may” erupt into a Sunni Shiite civil war throughout the Middle East! That is a fact Bush guaranteed when he ignored good advice and attacked Iraq as God told him to! 'Saudi casualties' in border fight with rebels
The Yemen - Iran Spat Spreads to Street Names
The goal absolutely is to be the country who decides which direction the new Middle East (dis)order will take. Bush started it by attacking Iraq to get into the middle east to destabilize it and start the new middle east order the idiot said God told him to do now it will be up to Iran and Saudi Arabia at least up front fight it out whether this goes the Iranian Shiite way or the Saudi Arabian Sunni way and do not forget Israel!
I reiterate, could this confrontation erupt in war between Iran and at the least US armed Saudi Arabia? Iran is warning and threatening retribution but they are supplying the Yemeni Rebels who pushed into Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has fired well over a hundred missiles from their fighter jets as they pummel their hideouts.
You can not blame them but I had no idea the dissension goes all the way back to the naming of the Gulf. Saudi’s know it as the Gulf of Arabia and I can remember that but Iran calls it the Persian Gulf as the rest of us seem to now.
Both Iran and Saudi Arabia have been using Lebanon as their battlefront up to now able to avoid direct confrontation. Iran has pumped millions of dollars in supplies and arms much to the consternation of her suffering people while Saudi Arabia has been supporting the Palestinian Authority.
While the world has been engrossed following events in Iran since the election was stolen to keep fascist Ahmadinejad and he fascist agenda in control Iran has been fueling a rebel war in Yemen and what a surprise it has extended into Saudi Arabia. The Hajj has even been threatened.
The Hajj as you may know is known as the 5th Pillar of Islam and is associated with the life of Islamic prophet Muhammad from the 7th century, but the ritual of pilgrimage to Mecca is considered by Muslims to stretch back thousands of years.
A propaganda war is also being waged. Egypt and Saudi Arabia have pulled the plug on Iran’s Arabic speaking TV. It makes me wonder why they did not do that during the height of the protests when Iran’s Government sanctioned channel was televising pure lies and propaganda? I find it hard to believe that Iran is that vulnerable in that area!
So far there has been no direct confrontation. However I absolutely see what I have been warning about since Bush diverted from Afghanistan to attack Iraq and get back in the middle east to create a new middle east (dis)order! I do not give a damn what anyone says. Bush Chaney and their Democratization program in an already historically unstable middle east set all of this and more in motion!
* The hell on earth Bush created for Iraqi’s will engulf the entire Middle East before it encompasses the entire world if we can not contain it. Under Bush we broke a long standing tradition of not adding fuel to the Middle East fire by supplying weapons. We are now, including advanced weaponry and missile defense systems. The Middle East breakdown Bush started armed and funded will continue under Obama. This up to now proxy war in the Middle East is under way. Wait, watch, and listen, this is not good for the world and our future!

The Saudi's have state of the art weapons (mostly U.S. made) and I'm sure the Military Industrial Complex won't mind if they use a few. A few 100 missiles, perhaps lose some expensive hardware, software updates etc., there's a few billion right there. As for outright war, the Sunni and Shiite factions have been disagreeing for over a 1000 years, but they do have bigger toys now. What price a barrel of oil if it all hits the fan.
I forget exactly what we gave them and other allies there to fight in proxy for us but it was and is quite extensive.
Knowing how things are ramping up and that we have supplied MDS to all our allies over there you have to wonder about Russia holding up the MDS it promised to Iran who is threatening court action to get it and now.
I think your last paragraph says it all. In short why fight a war when you can do it by proxy? The Saudis had us do it for how many years? And it was Bush's plan to outsource as much this as possible thereby making a profit for his buds at Blackwater at taxpayer expense.
As for the Obama surge, the only reason to send in more troops would be to help with the exit because you can forget benchmarks. There's just too much corruption to make any benchmarks.
How ironic the word verify was bribe
Demeur that is ironic. I hear that a lot. I keep thinking and this reaffirms it, that the verification words are que'd by the story!
Anyway Obama supposedly wants us out of Afghanistan before his time is up but we are going to keep getting dragged in deeper. I just see war as our future voluntary or not. I do not like what I see!
