President Obama Explains How Well The Meeting With Persian Gulf "Allies" Went - Live Feed
This should be good... as we explained earlier, analysts have pointed to a growing rift between the Obama administration and the Gulf’s Sunni states over the emerging nuclear deal with Iran as a chief reason for the snub, though the Saudi king, as well as his Bahraini counterpart, have denied such assertions.

Can't stand to listen to him talk so I refuse to push PLAY. Can someone add some bullet points? (Not too many words either).
Is he rounding the grassy knoll?
...Iran, despite the ambiguity of its attitude toward Azerbaijan, similarly provides stabilizing support for the new political diversity of Central Asia. It dominates the eastern shoreline of the Persian Gulf, while its independence, irrespective of current Iranian hostility toward the United States, acts as a barrier to any long-term Russian threat to American interests in the Persian Gulf region...Iran's aspirations are vaguer still, but in the long run no less threatening to Russia's ambitions...Iran's role is likely to be even more problematic. A return to a pro-Western posture would certainly facilitate the stabilization and consolidation of the region, and it is therefore strategically desirable for America to encourage such a turn in Iran's conduct...In addition, it is not in America's interest to perpetuate American-Iranian hostility. Any eventual reconciliation should be based on the recognition of a mutual strategic interest in stabilizing what currently is a very volatile regional environment for Iran. Admittedly, any such reconciliation must be pursued by both sides and is not a favor granted by one to the other. A strong, even religiously motivated but not fanatically anti-Western Iran is in the U.S. interest, and ultimately even the Iranian political elite may recognize that reality...
The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperative
Zbigniew Brzezinski
The Islamic Republic of Iran committed an egregious strategic blunder by trying to renegotiate its nuclear program with the west. As a result of this shift in foreign policy, Israel and the Arabs (specifically Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, UAE and Qatar) have envisioned a military alliance focused on destroying Iran's nuclear and military infrastructure (and place this country in a constant state of internal chaos). The upcoming war against Iran will be short and extremely intense for the type of non-conventional ordnance to be used by the IDF and the Arab militaries (mainly DU ammo), nevertheless it will not degenerate into a regional conflict.
Too bad that ordinary Iranians are not prepared for these events since their own government hasn't taken the precautionary measures of training the civilian population for massive air raids and the needed evacuation from areas highly contaminated by radioactive materials.
You're drinking the Kool-Aid.
Iran will come out on top.
No doubt about it.
The Russian Federation (and not the United States) has already given the green light to this military alliance to act in the event current negotiations pertaining to Irans' nuclear program are adverse to Moscow's agenda.
Perhaps you should read some Sun-Tzu?
Art of War?
Don't count on Russia NOT stepping in to fight with Iran.
It will happen.
And it won't just be Russia allied with Iran.
Iran and it's allies will emerge the victors of WWIII.
Yeah & if people where following the news, they would realize very quickly that China is forming Alliances like E V E R Y W H E R E... And they just enlisted India too, doh! BRICS ~ BRIICS
why do we still pay them for oil? Saudi Arabia & Iraq should be our colonies.
The inevitable consequence of Rumsfeld's formulation "you're either with us or you're against us". Eventually every nation's interests do not align 100% with America's, I mean d'oh. So now the Shi'a hate us AND the Sunni hate us. The Palestinians AND the Israelis. The Chinese AND the Russians. The Indians AND the Pakistanis. The French AND the Germans. The Greeks AND the Turks. ALL of Latin America.
You don't have to be a genius to figure out what comes next.
Not only that, but WWIII will be a disaster for the US and its allies.
Air superiority will never be achieved due to advances in Anti-AirCraft weaponry. (see S-300; s-400; s-500)
Naval superiority will never be achieved due to advances in torpedo technology. (http://www.superkavitation.de/e64shkval.htm)
Which means that WWIII will be fought by boots on the ground.
The US and its allies don't stand a chance.
Foreign Policy is like Chess, Obama is playing Checkers, and Dubya was playing "Go Fish"
Obama has been a terrible president, nearly everyone agrees here, but by the blind squirrel and nut principle it's possible he has done something right at some point. If these Arab princes don't like Obama, it would count as one of the things he has done right. If they liked him, it would be without doubt for the wrong reasons. They like their bought-off Republican errand boys in DC for the wrong reasons. If Obama does anything to please Arab princes, it would almost certainly be against the values and interests of the American people. So let them snub the president and go sniff their camels instead.
That's precisely why they put him in office, to pin the tail on the donkey, LITERALLY...
Those war hawks are going to fooking end us all damn it... =(

The Saudis and Israelis still love Obozo.
All little spiders spining webs to deceive.
They deceive themselves ony.
I have not heard from Barack the magic negro in 4 years and will not listen ever nor will I comply. fuck him and his masters
So I'm confused. Is it Tyler's position that we should NOT be engaging with Iran in order to prevent some sort of conflict and thus curry favor with Saudi Arabia et al? Or that we should be engaging with Iran and thus Obama is "snubbed" by the king of SA?
Or is Tyler just a hyporcritical douchbag?
Tyler is a Bolshevik.
No just a clever pseudonym
You retarded...aint you.
RIPS
The tip is Bolshevik.
The shaft is Nazi.
A true Jeb Bush supporter.
How very autist of you.
Jebolshivek Bushnazi?
Tyler gets off on clicks.

what a shit show... let's waterboard these fucks and see what they know about 9/11
including Obozo
Excellent avatar name.

Na we all got it, puns are shit.
LOOK - lots of people here (and elsewhere) seem to thrive by showering Pres. Obama with tomatoes. I don't defend every policy he's got. I'm marginal on the deal with Iran ... I don't trust Tehran at all.
BUT why should America always be the world's Cop? WHY?? If the Saudi's throw a Big Stink ... just because we are NOT bombing Iran for them ... is this really a problem? The Saudi's spend huge bucks on weapons acquisitions. Fine, let them use them. Why does it always have to be American blood on the line?
SO IN THAT CASE ... why the muckraking on Obama? He's calling their bluff.
America isn't the world's cop, it is the earth's bully.
Kinda like your cops.
More anti-american bullshit on zerohedge. Must be hard for these trolls to distinguish themselves just blah blah blah, I don't know any history yada yada.
Enjoy the freedom the american military has won for you.
I am a-political, but he nailed it in the Q&A, after reading the speech writen for him, just as you said. He is not Eisenhower parting speech level yet, but on the right track.
I am guessing he will be 23 minutes late.
Drinking game rules?
(sips)
dupe post. And I have not been, or plan to ;)
Why is ZERO extending his left hand? He must have sharted his Underoos ™?
Just more CIA-Obama theater for the benefit of the neo-con and evangelical Christian sheeple out in the heartland.
CIA-Obama's homosexual scandal is coming up: "I did not have sex with that man."
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
For those that still have not awaken to the fact that CIA-Obama is really a neo-con, Zionist controlled, manchurian candidate: Sleep tight.
<-- I did not have sex with that man (Michelle)
<-- I did not have sex with that woman (Michelle)
With those guys, if the meeting ended without anyone having a knife in his back, I guess you could call it a modest success.
C'mon, it's NOT a summit if the top guys from the key countries were no shows. The snubs sent the subs.
They shot some skeet.
someone looks out of costume, or is that out of place, hmmm.
fucking joke...
If ever there was a case for a drone strike that shower of shit in the photo should be the beneficiaries.
If you think the US cannot get any worst relationship with the Saudi, wait until the next female president. The Saudis won't like a woman saying No to their faces.
It will be cool to see Killary wear a Burhka when meeting Saudi king and having to kiss his ring.
in the breifing earlier today you should have seen the tap dancing around that issue. 50+ minutes of discusing (in code words) what weapons are going to be deployed/sold where,when, how.
Reporter asks if there was any effort to incorporate incentives for improved treatment of women and other civil liberties for the people nations involved in this plan. Best tap dancing i've seen in years. Straight answer at the end. No. That is not what any of this is about.
Obomber congratuled Saudis on 80 beheadings this month but told him that his ISIS was beating them with more beheadings.
Obomber told Saudis ''I can understand why you don't allow women to drive. Those black Burkas would get tangled up in the brake and accelerator.

As a gesture of good will, the Saudis gave the Mulatto Monkey 2 large Camel Turds petrified
Why would turds be scared of obumma, don't all coloureds get along?
Nice klan meeting. Obama feeding the( off~screen) camel was special.
I remember when Ghaddaffi was still alive and he called the Saudi King a ''Monkey'' to his face at one of those Arab summits.
So what did Ghaddaffi have against monkies?
Is this the same Saudi Arabia that helped plan 9-11 ?
911 was planned in Tel Aviv and Langley
The Mossad made sure most of the Patsies were Saudis. Those suckers probably shit their pants when they found out THEY weren't flying those aircraft.
Actually there is NO proof whatsover of 19 Arabs with boxcutters. Unless you believe the govt bullshit.
But they left their passports.
You couldn't pay me to be photographed with a bunch of rapists wearing dresses that are planning the next attack on the US.
