Subject: Re: Saudi says "no airspace"

Someone, please tell me this is simply Saudi's leaders posturing for the sake of domestic politics, that they can't be seen as aiding Israel's Mule, the Great Satan.

That was the excuse when Trump the God stopped his hot rhetoric, a couple weeks ago: Saudi and Qatar would not allow US aircraft to cross their airspace.

As Bush 43 likes to bawl "we don't need a permission slip".

Reporting out of Israel says "Bibi" said their defenses weren't ready.
