#1 Cool! Finally, al-Qaida doing some good:

"Serious instability in Saudi Arabia could disrupt the kingdomâs petroleum exports, drive up world oil prices and cripple the U.S. economy..."

...like the USA would let that happen.

I say let the house of Saud burn down. We'd have no choice but to take over the oil fields, and splat any charging al-Qaidamites into the desert sand.

Fuck. Them.

#2 Hyper--

Dittoes! I am right now making out a check to my favorite *Islamic charity* hoping it will help the binoids topple the House of Saud. Since when that happens, .Com's Raiders will have all the reason they need to secure the eastern oil fields, thereby cutting off the head of the snake.

P.S. The good thing about having hatred-driven loonies as your enemy is that they tend to be a bit weak on the "strategy side", preferring to lash out for the sake of lashing out, damn the torpedoes when it comes to real world consequences.

Go binoids!

#3 Fred inserted an editorial note into one of the Rantburg Classics that bears repeating:

"Even better: hundreds of turbans, giving each other the hairy eyeball, the while fondling their weapons... "

Actually there's been any number of posts where this would apply. Hiram Maxim moved to England and planned to make his fortune in electrical appliances. An acquaintence told him, "That's no way to get rich. Invent something to help those Europeans kill each other faster. That's where the money is!" Maxim took the advice and invented the machine gun.

#5 Yeah Yeah....WhatEVER....

Still waiting for the 'Mother of all Attacks' Al-Q promised which was supposed to leave 100K dead.

All Blow... no Go....

#6 It's nice to see that Islamic terrorism has been sent back to the countries where it belongs.

#7 Crazy Fool - you must have missed the press release which I think made its way to Rantburg.

MOAA between end of Eid and February, the end of another holiday.

#8 Some Jihadis from Binny's Al-Q
Attacked but did not read Sun Tzu
Now they just blow hot air
From their Waziristan Lair
And an occasional schrapnel or two
