Discuss this Rant at the Geopolitics Table inside the Diner
Snippet:
…In the short time since I recorded the Iraq Jokers & Clowns Rant, a NEW PLAYER has emerged here, ISIS, aka the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. They got a few other names for this both in English and Arabic, including calling Syria the “Levant”, and by no means are these guys limiting themselves to just this territory, they recnetly declared a Caliphate, a kind of Muslim state ruled over by an Islamic Caliph, apparently one Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who I don’t think anybody here in the West besides some NSA researchers ever heard of before, but who now is the biggest thing in Terrorism since Osama-bin-Laden. Gotta love this guy has Baghdad in his name though, that is positively CINEMATIC!
They haven’t limited themselves to pulling Caliphates out of the geopolitical history books here either in terms of drawing on old metaphors. They are doing Crucifictions too to strike TERROR into the heart of the average Christian over here, not to mention every Shiite Muslim and everybody they perceive as having been a tool of NATO imperialism. Our good friends the Sheiks running the House of Saud over in Saudi Arabia are now likely leaving large skid marks on their underwear…
For the rest, LISTEN TO THE RANT!!!
Crucifixions in Syria begin a new Chapter in the ever escalating battle for resources in MENA
Listeners who enjoyed this rant will probably also enjoy the articles Lawrence of Arabia and The Good, The Bad & the Takfiri here on the Diner.

Why are the Saud’s worried, when it is pretty obvious they are funding the Syrian rebels?
So, I am to believe that Saud is scared of Isis, yet continues to pour weapons and money to the rebels that apparently have spawned and funded Isis?
Just wtf?
Seems the keep divided over bullshit schema of running people/countries doesn’t just work in the West.
But remember, even with nearly ALL the 9/11 terrorists being Saudi citizens and related to the crown, the Sauds are our friends.
Just wtf ‘murka, wtf.
Aloha Snackbar!!!
The ISIS folks aren’t too lenient with anybody they think has colluded with the FSoA. There is nobody in the whole rest of MENA who has colluded MORE than the House of Saud.
I suspect the Saudi Princes hope they will stay in their own Caliphate and keep busy battling Iranians.
