The Saudi's
look to grabbing the reigns when it comes to the "Great Game."
In a rare interview marking the establishment of what the Saudis
themselves are describing as an "Islamic military alliance", the
kingdom's Defence Minister, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, said the aim
would be to provide mutual anti-terrorism assistance "all over the
Islamic world".
"Today, every Islamic country is fighting
terrorism individually," Salman said. The new alliance, "emanates from
the keenness of the Muslim world to fight this disease, which affected
the Islamic world first, before the international community as a whole."
This is a real indictment of the Obama White House. The Saudi's have to step up because we have been such poor partners in the area after we cut-and-ran from Iraq. Now we are doing barely bombing ISIS and it is a matter of time before the Saudi's are directly attacked.
