Don't know about ObL but Israel is sure about to score a big one there. The Sauds are in a big fix bec they're afraid of setting up their own army - which would just be a coup waiting to happen - and their traditional kludge of buying western protection is unworkable now that the US has stirred up so much popular hatred against the West. The destabilisation of Pakistan and Arab regimes is unfolding as predicted. The Sauds aren't just talking about shutting bases, they're also saying they want to switch to the Euro. Now that would be a real debacle for the US.
