#2 I thought KSA had this really rockin' military with all these neato American weapons.

Why don't they call Iraq and get a hunting license?

#3 WWPS?

It's because there's this strip of land on the Arabian Penninsular, about 15 KM wide. It contains a wealth of both oil and Shia Rat. The noble kingdom is living in a state of (LOL, think Paco here) cognitatve dissident.

#4 Other than Jordan and Egypt, maybe Morocco, and maybe now Iraq, legitimately, and Hizbollah and IS, illegitimately, do Arab governments have ability to actually fight? Saud has equipment, but ability to use it effectively in an actual fight, not so. Sauds are pussies outside their domestic police. Others have constabularies, not armies, or chaos. As JohnQC says, Yada Yada Yada. Talk.

#5 Maybe, just maybe the UAE AF and associated hired ground forces.

But I dunno. Others around here might.
