        Ummm....I really don't think ISIS is much of a friend to the House of Saud or vice-versa.

        They are all Sunnis and this is a tribal war. Saudi royal family members were (and maybe still are) bank rolled ISIShttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/stanley-weiss/its-time-to-talk-about-sa_b_8363936.html …

        It's hard to believe they were actually lost when there is an incentive to "lose" them.

        I wonder if that is an official measurement, "a shit ton"? Is that larger than a shit load?

        I think a shit ton is equal to 2000 shit loads....

        Yeah. They conveniently 'loose' weapons that later turn up with militias that fuel the sectarian divisions. People killing each other
