“The Saudi delegation withdrew from the “Friends of the Syrian People” meeting in Tunis over what it saw as the gathering’s “inactivity”, Al Arabiya reported. Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal left the meeting after saying in a speech that focusing on humanitarian aid to Syria was “not enough.” “There is no other means but transferring power either voluntarily or by force. Is it justice to offer aid and leave the Syrians to the killing machine? ” he said. Faisal said that the Syrian regime has lost legitimacy and turned into an occupation-like authority. “My country will not take part in an action that will not lead to the quick protection of the Syrians,” he said………”

The Saudi prince also added that if the Assad regime does not fall soon, his king will order the National Guard, commanded by his son Met’eb, to cross the border with heavy armor in support of the Syrian people. Just like they helped the Bahraini people last year, he added. King Abdullah of Jordan, on hearing of this, immediately texted the prince “Which border are you talking about? Last time you guys crossed our border, you never left the Hijaz, annexed Mecca and Madina and then your king stole our custodial job.”
On an almost more serious note: I can’t wait to see Prince Khaled bin Sultan, the losing hero of the battle for Yemen, defeated by the ‘primitive’ Huthis, lead a blitzkrieg across the Syrian border. Only which border would he cross? The Jordanian or the Iraqi or the Israeli? Either one it should be fun, especially without American forces to back him up (the French and British don’t count without support from American forces, if you remember history).
