Disclaimer & comment rulesI always thought USA and Europe should dump Saudi Arabia as an ally, an ally that does all the contrary to what the former ones pretend to stand for.

Though the Saudis may have a point regarding Obama's pathetic handling of the Syrian crisis and about the hypocrisy of the international community, they will have to soon wake up to the fact that the US will be needing them ever less in the future http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2013/10/16/the_end_of_opec_america_energy_oil?page=0,2
Oct 19th, 2013 - 04:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think Saudi Arabia has also suffered from spying yankees.

The Saudi “royal family” (spit) have for years and continue to finance the most radical Jihadist morons on the planet. You name the conflict with “insults” to the Prophet (urine and faeces be upon him) and they have financed the “retribution”.

Biggest glass table in the world if they don't rein in the mad fuckers, and soon.
I do not know what to say.

We thinks the days of the all powerful oil rich nations of the middle east is fast coming to an end,
Oct 19th, 2013 - 06:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If they don’t change their ways and attitudes they will fall back to their old tribal ways and end up in the same basket as Syria and Libya and a few others.
The outer world is finding their own resources now, and need Arabia less and less.
.
I can't see why the Arab Leaugue can't sort out Syria.
Oct 19th, 2013 - 07:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think Saudi Arabia misunderstands the UN. The UN is just an international forum, a talking shop. It has neither the means nor the authority to impose a “solution” to the crisis in Syria. It can only facilitate an agreement between the various Syrian factions if the factions themselves are willing to accept a ceasefire and negotiate in good faith.
Oct 19th, 2013 - 09:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Peace in Northern Ireland was not achieved by the UK Government imposing a solution on the two sides. It was achieved because the elected representatives of both the catholic and protestant communities (especially Sinn Fein and the DUP) were willing to negotiate and make hard compromises. They were also prepared to accept a ceasefire during the negotiations and to reach out and persuade their respective communities and supporters to accept the final peace proposals. I see no evidence that either side in Syria, particularly the Assad regime, is serious about a negotiated solution.
If China and Russia (Syria’s ally) simply vetoes any proposal than what is the USA supposed to do?
Since the Arab league itself is divided on this issue how can the Saudis then criticise the UN.
I agree. I think more an invasion or war will not solve. We have to continue the story. She always taught us that it is good to have peace.

Oct 20th, 2013 - 07:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0You're wrong, war is sometimes necessary when it is fought for the right reasons and when you fight a war you fight to win.
There is no winnable war to be fought in Syria, you either have a murderous dictatorship or jihadist loonatics running the place. The is why the UK parliament said no thanks, not this time.
Saudi Arabia another client for my coloured mirrors made in Germany.
Oct 20th, 2013 - 08:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0I have to take this business very serious because is plenty of money to be made in this world.
Offer!!
British I have especial offer for coloured mirrors made in Germany with the legend “god save the Queen” and “We love kebabs”
You will probably make more money with the following legend: “God save Queen Cristina” and “We love eating s--t”.
Oct 20th, 2013 - 10:43 am - Link - Report abuse 0Just a suggestion.
p.s. For the House of Saud might I proffer the following “Allah save King Abdullah” and “We love MacDonalds!”.
