MIR: The Saudi-Iranian Neo Cold War
Yemen's fight with rebels a regional concern Of course Iran denies it and warns us to mind our own business. Warns those in the region, do not pour oil on the fire!
Saudi combat jets hit rebel targets in Yemen
Despite threats from Iran warning not to attack the Yemeni militants Iran is backing and supplying: Yemen, Saudi forces continue strikes on Shiite rebels
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 dissention 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. Please read on and learn
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!

That would certainly add to the mix of things.
Hi Karen
It certainly looks that way. I discussed it numerous times but we armed them all to fight Iran and we can fight everyone we they want or have to from the Gulf without adding more troops. One of my sons just started his tour yesterday!
The Suadis won't bother to get their hands dirty. We've been fighting most of their wars since Lebanon. It wouldn't surprise me if the Saudis aren't backing both sides in the conflict in Yemen from the play book of GW.
Just as an example - The Saudis put a full page ad in the paper saying that they had nothing to do with 911 just after it happened and at the same time were holding fundraisers for Al Qaeda.
Demeur you're right about 9/11. Bush gave them a lot of stuff to fight Iran and I am sure Obama is too. I always figured we would be facing some of those weapons one way or the other.
You link PLEASE READ ON AND LEARN is broken.
I curious to read what it had to say considering Islam was created in the 7th century and yet pilgrimages to Mecca have been going on the thousands of years.
Thanks Holte I'll check that out!
Okay Holte it is working now!
Holte I remember when I first researched Islam the Hajj along with some religious sites had for loss of words right now I will say had heathenish meanings like Catholicism.
It is all part of the lie we are living and the lies we call history and religion.
