FLASHBACK: MARCH 2008 – U.S.-ISRAELI TROOPS TO THE KINGDOM

draft

INTRODUCTION

The non-Saudi funded Arab press, perhaps inspired by this blog, had improved on this blog’s recent treatment of the “inter-faith” conference. A sham, had said this blog about the conference. A way for the Kingdom’s ruling elite, under the thumb of the harmful idiots (the stress here is on IDIOTS), to normalize relations with the idiots' Israel. To go over the heads of the Palestinian Arabs (state and reparations), the Lebanese Arabs (reparations) and the Syrian Arabs (territory.) That non-Saudi-owned-or-funded-press stopped at this: the "inter-faith" conference as an effort to normalize relations with Israel and, to a lesser extent, as an effort to re-align the Arab Islamic nation in an Israeli-led Arab block against Iran.

I leafed back into this blog. I uncovered that in March of this year my analysis (with Zein al-Irban -- a pseudonym) in a post titled “The Defeat of Saudi Arabia –and the Kingdom Prepares its Populace for Christian Troops," had said the following:

3. DEALING WITH DEFEAT: PREPARING THE SAUDI PUBLIC FOR CHRISTIAN-JEWISH TROOPS IN THE [SAUDI] KINGDOM

In an extremely awkward attempt at aligning Saudi Arabia’s public with the West, including Israel, King Abdallah on or about March 25 [2008], called for conferences for dialogue among Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. Okay, what’s this all about?

The king said that he had the approval of the Kingdom’s ulamas for his call. (These ulamas are paid by the government and their ranks since September 2001 have gone through a thorough vetting.) Now, the co-author -- the editor -- ['d] being originally from Lebanon, he can tell you with absolute certainty that even as children they['d] poked fun at these conferences among leaders of Lebanon’s sects. They perceived these “dialogues” to be full of lies, play-acting, and hypocrisy. Still, what’s the king trying to do?

The absurd announcement came soon after Bald Samson’s visit to the Kingdom. [ . . .] Bald Samson is eminently impatient. [. . .] Bald Samson wants an outright and full war on Iran and is preparing the way for it. Not that it’ll happen during his watch. But he is certain that McCain will be elected President and he wants to pave the way [for McCain] for that war. The Kingdom’s territory [likely] will be needed for the full-scale war.

Viewed from a Saudi perspective and not from that of Bald Samson, this call, as the other above two policies [see entire March 30 post: “The Defeat of Saudi Arabia...”] ... The king’s advisers are trying their best to open the Saudi populace to the idea that the Saudi government should eventually need a lot of U.S. and other Western troops in the Kingdom to defend it against a putative Iranian attack -- read: a McCain-Lieberman [US Senator Lieberman being the Israel lobby's forward raider for the war Israel wants the harmful idiots to wage on Iran] declaration of war on Iran. That, even short of a full war, the Kingdom needs to open up to the West [key: Israel] since its security should be coming from that direction. [The Kingdom had always been a Western principality, though its ruling elite had always tried to portray it otherwise before the Muslim and Arab Streets.] This is especially true when one considers that Saudi leaders are reluctant to build a modern army lest that army stages a coup against the royals.

This interpretation becomes all the more compelling when one considers that, on or about March 28, Shaykh Saleh Aal al-Shaykh, [the] Saudi Minister of Islamic Affairs, warned Saudi Imams (“Du3at”) that they would be facing “isolation and siege” if they refused to open up to modernity by “falling behind in meeting the [Christian and Shia, but mostly Shia -- remember the “Arab identity”] competition, global, in hunting for hearts and minds. “ (My translation.)

In other words: Let’s see if we can change you fast enough for the arrival onto the Kingdom’s territory of the Christian troops and (possibly) their Israeli Jewish advisers. The scare tactic: If we can’t get you ready, these Shias of ours will take over and many a Sunni will convert to Shiism.
