Wall street Journal Prince Alwaleed bin Talal: An Ally Frets About American Retreat Influential Saudi royal Prince Alwaleed bin Talal talks about the U.S. debacle in Syria, the Iranian threat, and this perception that America is going down. He endorses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus line to describe Mr. Rouhani: a wolf in sheeps clothing. He notes this startling alliance of Wahhabist Saudi Arabia, custodian of Islams holiest sites, and the Jewish state. For the first time, Saudi Arabian interests and Israel are almost parallel, he says, his voice rising. Its incredible. The prince stops short of endorsing an Israeli military strike on Iran, but in the same breath says he thinks a military option to neutralize Irans nuclear potential is preferable to a bad diplomatic deal.
