I doubt our support for the Shia government of Iraq is anything substantial. I could be wrong though.Kevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01837094891432327670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949151804634268229.post-60442960434115759752014-06-14T13:16:08.148-04:002014-06-14T13:16:08.148-04:00Not a bad theory regarding Saudis .....

Here's one theory,,<br />Iran and Iraq's increased oil production would lower prices and Sauds don't want that because it would cut into the monies they are spending in house so they don't have a "Saudi Spring", knocking them out of power. So the invade Iraq with sunni "rebels" by Saudi could be a self "save our bacon" move on their part to retain power and $$$.<br /><br />http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/ambroseevans_pritchard/10471548/Iran-sanctions-deal-to-unleash-oil-supply-but-Saudi-wild-card-looms.html<br /><br />http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/06/11/366471/iran-to-up-crude-output-if-bans-lifted/<br /><br />Saudi Arabia, although a top oil producer , could become a net oil importer within 16 years due to declining fields and increased consumption. If they let women drive, their consumption would go up even faster and decrease their amount of years until they become a net oil importer.<br /> Egypt became a net oil importer in 2011 and was a major cause for their Arab Spring revolt..The money they used to make from oil bought food, now they must buy oil and food.<br /> It happens to the best of us, eh ?<br /> NW<br />NW guesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081018190180606009noreply@blogger.com
