Bolton Replaces McMaster as National Security Advisor

[Gman]

Saddam funding terrorism against Israel was stabilizing the Middle East?

Practically everyone believed Saddam had chemical weapons because he did. As Gman said, he used them on his own people and with all the fiddle-fuckin' around had plenty of time to move them or hide them. Bolton (and everyone else who believed Saddam had WMDs) believed the way he did because just about every US and foreign intelligence source out there was saying he did. He didn't just come up with that on his own.

he had very small caches of chem. munitions scattered about Iraq but not large stockpiles as we thought.

There are people who believe he was a Sunni barrier against Shia Iran.

It has been interesting to see the flow of weapons to ISIS. They seem to have benefited from US support during Obama's secret wars while "FSA" and Iran. I'm not sure ISIS could have been a thing if Saddam still controlled western Iraq.

We give far more money to Palestine than Saddam ever gave. Do you honestly believe with the grift in the Middle East, especially amongst Arabs, that money actually goes to non-terrorists, so-called?

In 2016 the US gave $368,429,712 to UNRWA, which all goes to the Palestinians.

If we want to talk about funding Palestinian terrorism against Israel, perhaps we should look in a mirror.

What do you guys think of the Saudi Prince that is reaching out to Israel in the face of further conflict with Iran?

I don't know how related this is, and Middle East stuff is pretty low on my knowledge scale, but thought I'd ask and see what people in here thought about that recent development.

More likely a move against Hezbollah, which is an Iranian proxy, than Iran per se. If a 2 state solution were to be worked, Iran would be marginalized because it takes away a lot of their anti-Israel clout in the region. The Shia and Sunni issue gets obfuscated on national lines, but it's not a national issue. The very idea of nation states in the region, at least in a modern sense, is a post-British colonial accretion. All those countries' modern borders are fabricated. Previously, they cordoned off based on tribal and cultural affinity. The so-called royal house of Saud is a sham. Ibn Saud was nothing more than a local warlord who played nice with the Brits.
