#2 surprise factor: zero

Saudi is Mordor after all, for Islamofascism. the wellspring from which the river of putrid ideology flows

look out: Yemen on the north, Somalia on the south

control them and you shut off the Gulf of Aden - sea lane superhighway through which all the trade from Europe to China goes, including all the oil....

pinch it shut - it's only a few hundred kms or so wide in parts - very narrow.

Mordor controlling both shores of a vital trade route....

meanwhile the UN continues to ignore the efforts of Dr Farole in Puntland to lock up pirates and keep the evil eye at bay
