1. Yesterday, the NYT dropped a bombshell: Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has been aggressively lobbying Trump not to end the fighting and pushing him to launch a ground operation. Why would Trump listen? Follow the money.

... U.S. President Donald Trump publicly confirmed on Tuesday that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been urging him to maintain an aggressive military posture against Iran, validating a New York Times report ...

Yet, MBS seems to be sitting on the sidelines ...

Might this be what MBS has gotten for the billions funneled into Mr Kushner's investments?

Nothing like being in the middle of someone else's holy war.
What could go wrong?
And, mind you, we're coming in on the side of the nation that supplied 95% of the 9/11 bombers.

3 Indeed.

None of the Taliban wanted anything to do with al-Qaida's external operations-- especially Mullah Omar.

At the mujahadeen camp in Afghanistan, posters were put up looking for volunteers for a "special operation."

None of the Pashtuns or other Afghans volunteered for it.

Now Dummkopf Trumpf has put the US on the side of the Wahabbis in this fitna.

MBS used the same language as Benjamin Netanyahu-- "a rare opportunity to re-shape the Middle East."

With the morbidly obese geriatric draft-dodging golf cheating pedophile in the White House, China will also have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to re-shape Asia, like Vladimir Putin is now attempting to re-shape Europe.

American boots on the ground in Iran, being placed there by a dupe and shill for the Israelis and Saudis--swell. I'm sure that MBS and Bibi will show up for all the funerals, and they will help negotiate the release of American POWs, to a person tortured while in captivity. Not. Well, maybe the Saudis will send two goats to the families of the fallen, and those in Israel will send them dreidels for the kids to play with in the up-coming holiday season. And Der Dotard: well, those funerals will interfere with his golf game...
