| [ARABNEWS] King of the Arabians, Sheikh of the Burning Sands, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman ...either the largest species of Pacific salmon or the current Sheikh of the Burnin' Sands, Cutodian of the Two Holy Mosquesand Lord of Most of the Arabians.... warned at a summit Tuesday of a threat from Iran as guest of honor President Francois Hollande ...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist... said La Belle France was "by the side" of Gulf nations. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit in Riyadh came amid mounting international concern over the war in Yemen, the threat from jihadists and Gulf worries over Iran. In a clear reference to Iran, King Salman spoke of the need to confront an external threat that "aims to expand control and impose its hegemony," threatening regional stability and creating "sectarian sedition." Hollande, the first Western leader to attend a GCC summit, said La Belle France shares the dangers facing the region and he had come "to affirm the commitment of La Belle France to be by your side." The Riyadh summit brought together leaders from Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... , Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and the United Arab Emirates. All but Oman are in the coalition that on March 26 launched air strikes in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... against Iran-backed Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... rebels and their allies who seized large parts of the country including Sanaa. Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi fled to Riyadh when the rebels advanced on his southern refuge Aden. Concern has mounted over the air campaign, which has continued despite the coalition announcing late last month it was moving on to a new phase. |
