"The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, its people and government stood and stands by today with its brothers in Egypt against terrorism," he said.
"I call on the honest men of Egypt and the Arab and Muslim nations ... to stand as one man and with one heart in the face of attempts to destabilize a country that is at the forefront of Arab and Muslim history," he added.

Is this the same Saudi Arabia that did 9/11?
Is this the same Saudi Arabia that financed and armed the cutthroat Jihadis in Syria?
It was reported by William Engdahl that Saudi Arabia had promised Egypt $4 billion before the arrest of Morsi. This was about the same time that Webster Tarpley reported that Morsi was planning to embroil the Egyptian military in Syria, and possibly in Ethiopia. So at first it looked like the arrest of Morsi indicated that Egypt was going for it alone.
But if the 8th August article by Scarlett Haddad in L'Orient le Jour is to be believed then Bandar is about to unleash hell on earth in Syria in a desperate bid to shame Putin into dumping Assad after Bandar's attempt at bribing Putin with a multi billion dollar purchase of Russian weapons was rebuffed. The same article also stated that Bandar was also going to war on Hezbollah. Two days ago al Nusra Front attacked the HQ of Hezbollah in Beirut, killing over 20 people. This indicates Bandar's sincerity and supports Haddad's report.
So if Bandar really is going to unleash hell on earth in Syria, how can this be accomplished?
How about driving the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egypt and into Syria?
The sources said the Muslim Brotherhood was receiving funds from Saudi Arabia to bolster the embattled rebel movement amid the offensive by the Assad regime. "There are literally tens of thousands of trained Brotherhood fighters who might prefer to receive handsome salaries to fight Assad in Syria rather than the military in Egypt," a source said.

At the very least, the oppression of The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt serves the hierarchy of Saudi Arabia who fear the MB and see them as a threat to their power in the region.
Hours after the Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt, Mohammed Morsi, was deposed, the Saudi regime hurried to congratulate newly appointed interim president Adly Mansour. The Saudis must have felt comfortable with the quick downfall of a political Islamist party that found itself in power after several decades in the opposition.
It is ironic that a regime that prides itself on ruling according to divine law fears most the rise of Islamism to power. It must be said that like most Western governments, Saudi Arabia was more than confortable coexisting with the Egyptian military dictatorship under deposed President Hosni Mubarak. But when a democratically elected Muslim Brotherhood president was sworn into office in 2012, Riyadh was alarmed. Saudi Arabia had always had a troubled relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood version of Islamism, its organizational capacity and its increasingly accepted message that combined Islam with an eagerness to engage with the democratic process.

Tricking the MB into going into Syria serves two purposes, (1) they attack Assad and Hezbollah, and (2) they get killed in large numbers thereby reducing their threat to the Saudi hierarchy.
We have to consider:
1. how can the King of Saudi Arabia have the balls to decry terrorism and destabilisation?
2. why would Saudi Arabia provide Egypt with $4 billion (some say it was double that!)?
3. how will Bandar unleash hell on earth in Syria?
