U.S. Officials Fear Saudi Collapse If New Prince Fails

The Saudi prince who seems to have won a family power struggle is meeting with U.S. officials this week -- some of them the same officials who are concerned his reign could be ruinous and hurt the regional security U.S. officials crave.

Officials in the national security establishment believe Saudi Arabia is at a crossroads, and that if the prince doesn't succeed, now and later as king, there could be chaos in the Kingdom.

"It's him or it's ISIS," said one Saudi expert who asked that his name not be used.

Iran collapsed during the Carter Presidency; it stands to reason that another ally could fail during the ObamaTards administration.

If hillary is president she will rush to defend saudi arabia.
What they are really worried about is that the old leadership paid alot of money to terrorists to leave them alone. The new kid on the block might show they hey we dont have to take handouts we can take it all.

The new kid on that block is ISIS. A very radical element would love the chaos that would ensue should the Kingdom collapse. Sometimes you have to extract your head from the sand.

It is one of the ONLY things I can agree with Hillary on.

I don't support them in any way. However what they do offer is stability.

I'm all for regime change, but not through chaos.
