Indeed.

Our "allies" Saudi...home of Keebler fudge striped cookies and 9-11 up America's asses........ says America can't use its airspace to attack Iran.

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.

After all doesn't Saudi want to see Iran's nukes set back like a million years? Isn't it a Sunni Shia thing?


Our Chairman of the Board Israel wants us to hit Iran.

But our Vice President boss is saying "I won't help"

Makes no sense.

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.

Darn right.

And salute to President Obama - -for going into a residential neighborhood in a sovereign nation - -without permission to get bin Laden.
*****

Iarael's defenses ---not ready? When the hell does that happen.

That's exactly what it is.

Any strike on Iran will come from 3-4 places:

-The Lincoln's strike group (will fly up the Gulf)
-Incirlik Air Base (fly from Turkey to Iran)
-Diego Garcia (same flight path as the Lincoln
-Iraq/Kuwait/UAE/Bahrain

After all doesn't Saudi want to see Iran's nukes set back like a million years? Isn't it a Sunni Shia thing?

The Saudis loathe the mullahs. They just don't want to be seen taking the side of the Great Satan. This is a classic "We love what you might do but can't say so publicly" PR thing.

Spankee will lose a LOT of payola, including NOBEL PRICE, if he starts another war. So the lapdog was trained to give a *small* message--one within its capabilities (it was hoped).

Peter Thiel is said to be an ardent Zionist. Seems that, to him, the US spilling blood and treasure in Israel's service would be a good thing.
