A leaked internal memo shows how Saudi officials commuted 1,200 death row inmates under the condition they go and fight against Assad in Syria, according to the Assyrian International News Agency.
From the memo:
We have reached an agreement with them that they will be exempted from the death sentence and given a monthly salary to their families and loved ones, who will be prevented from traveling outside Saudi Arabia in return for rehabilitation of the accused and their training in order to send them to Jihad in Syria.

Saudi Arabia is an ally with the US if i remember correctly.
Yes, an ally with 17 of the 19 World Trade Centers terrorists were Saudi (and we can suspect funded by outfits in that country).
Anyway, the reason for him to speak out is clear. The terrorists have stated that the royal family is one of their targets and a Hell of a lot more accessible than the US mainland. He wants us to save his butt again as we have continually done over the decades. I suspect that his army would fight much as did the French army in WWII.

I agree, these arab nations are quick to cry out that there is a problem, but they are quick to duck behind the skirts of the American and other western forces who they expect to get them out of the mess they are in.

...And what are they doing about it? ISIS is in their neighborhood. Maybe the Arab League should stop whining and stop expecting the U.S. and Britain to fight their battles. We don't need to sacrifice our young men and women because of Islamic and barbaric radicals. I say take care of your own house. If Muslims don't want to be taken over by ISIS, they need to stop sitting on their duff, and take up arms.
This will go just like the Gulf War. American and British men and women fought Iraq while Kuwait men danced in night clubs.

Wait, what???....what are the Saudi's doing about it.??
Sorry, but why should the west come to Saudi, Iranian, Jordanians rescue just because it looks bad when a Muslim state takes on Muslim Jihadist's.... Grow a pair for christ's sake and sort out your own mess.

It makes total sense with how the Obama/Holder team has made every effort short of just buying all ISIS members a 1-way first class plane ticket to the USA, and how they are doing everything in their power to makes sure the Border won't slow them down in the slightest, so entering from Mexico will be a sure thing. Perhaps they have another super duper false flag planned and are trying to "make it happen captain" before the elections?
Sounds about their speed.. Seriously, they have proven umpteen times that they will do anything without remorse or care, for votes, for agendas for tyranny, for authoritarian principles defined by Marxism, Maoism and socio-communism.
