It's interesting what's going on in Saudi Arabia. It's a clear escalation by the "terrorists". The Bush admin has done a hell of a recruiting job for OBL and his like.

It Saudi Arabia becomes destabilized, we could be headed for the opposite of the reverse domino theory that the Cheney/Rummy/Wolfy crew was looking to start.


The worse part about it is that they are all......SA, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE etc.....dependent on us for military protection. And I don't know if you heard this but we are so stretched militarily, that they did not have enough military equipment for the Veteran's Day parades this past Saturday.

It was clearly one scenario put forward by war opposers. But even if you buy into the justification for the war, the handling of it by bush was so abysmal that we have very few consequential friends to help us with escalation in any part of the ME. It was handled so badly, that under the calumny of "ceding control" to the UN, we reject friends. The rationalizations have reached extreme levels.

<font color=brown>It gets better........should the PKK/Kurds start fighting us and we will most definitely send in more troops. So far the Iraqi Kurds have been on our side. <font color=black>

US troops clash with Turkish Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq
10-11-2003, 14:00


U.S. forces clashed with Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq, Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul said Monday.

Gul, speaking to reporters before leaving for a visit to
Rome, confirmed news reports in Turkey that American forces fought rebels of the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, in
northern Iraq. "It is correct," Gul said. "There were clashes yesterday...Not only with the United States but also between (Iraqi Kurdish fighters) and the PKK. Some American helicopters were sent."

Ankara and Washington agreed in September on an "action plan" against an estimated 5,000 Turkish Kurdish rebels based in northern Iraq. (Albawaba.com)
