ALL I AM SAYING IS GIVE SAUDI ARABIA A CHANCE

Saudi Arabia has persuaded France to give the events in Egypt "a chance". This currently involves a crackdown on The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
Saudi Arabia and France have agreed on giving Egypt’s roadmap a “chance,” Al Arabiya reported the kingdom’s Foreign Minister Saudi al-Faisal as saying Sunday.

“We have agreed on giving the roadmap in Egypt a chance to fulfill security and early elections,” al-Faisal said after meeting with France’s President Francois Hollande.

I am deeply sceptical of this.

Assad is on the verge of victory in Syria, with the brave, competent and intelligent Syrian Arab Army wiping out den after den of Saudi-backed cutthroat terrorists.

But it has been reported that:
1. before Morsi was arrested the Saudis offered Egypt multi billions of dollars
2. the Saudis have been trying to persuade the Muslim Brotherhood to fight in Syria against Assad, but without too much apparent success
3. the Saudis have decided to unleash hell on earth in Syria, and also in Lebanon, in a desperate bid to persuade Putin to dump Assad after Putin rejected a bribe of a multi billion dollar weapons deal.
4. the king of Saudi Arabia had the balls to decry terrorism and destabilisation

It is, of course, possible that the Saudi hierarchy has had a 'road to Damascus' conversion, seen the light and has renounced its previous terrorist activities, including 9/11.

It is also possible that Sisi and the Egyptian military are sincere in their desire to create an autonomous Egypt, free from interference by anyone, as Webster Tarpley suggests is the case.

But in both cases, The Muslim Brotherhood must be stopped from going to Syria. If they are not then the bloodbath in Syria will continue.

However, I cannot see the Saudis having had a 'road to Damascus' conversion. Not yet. The fact that it took a personal visit from Foreign Minister Saudi al-Faisal to Hollande to change his mind after Hollande opposed the crackdown supports the thesis that, although Sisi may be sincere in wanting to become a new Nasser, the crackdown on the MB may, repeat may, be the result of the Saudis promising Egypt multi billions of dollars BEFORE Morsi was arrested, the aim of which is to drive the MB into Syria to fight against Assad, or into Lebanon.

I truly do hope that Tarpley is correct in his analysis, and he usually is. But on this one I remain sceptical due to the presence of the Saudis and their money in the background.
