This is all at the rumor stage for now. But since the U.S. has backed the Saudi's and sold them billions in advanced weapons and planes, and also has supported Qatar, it doesn't make sense.
However, there may be rumblings from within the Saudi military that they will not back the Royal Family if the uprisings get out of hand. |

Good for a laugh this morning anyway... a quick comparison of the size of the Qatari military versus the Saudi should simplify this question. 
From the headlines on this website, it appears to like reporting conspiracy theories.

I beg to disagree, VS. Anybody other than Saudi apologists like you truly see that the House of Saud is clearly in its last gasps of life, hasn't the support of the vital Qatif region and that the military would eagarly follow the commands of the Qatari royals.
It's an IRONY ALERT !!! |

| Since the source is the Iranian state mouthpiece, it's a joke. |

Qatar to Overthrow Saudi Regime
Sun Dec 25, 2011
http://www.presstv.com/detail/217634.html
The Saudi Arabian monarchy will be overthrown by Qatar very soon, a leaked confidential conversation by Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem Al Thani has revealed.
According to an audio file which has gone viral on the Internet, the premier said Qatari troops would occupy Qatif in Eastern Province and the Al Saud regime will disintegrate.
"The regime of King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud is exhausted and powerless to control the country and the army cannot confront the future changes," he asserted.
The remarks were made as people in Qatif have been staging protest rallies to demand freedom and equality over the past months.
The Qatari premier also revealed that the United States and Britain wanted him to report back to them on the situation in Saudi Arabia.
"They want to get rid of the Saudi regime while they are afraid of any new Islamic regime in the region," Sheikh Hamad said.
"Therefore, Qatar has taken advantage to transfer US military bases to its country," he added.
Sheikh Hamad said Qatar also has been able to gradually reduce the dominance of Saudi Arabia in the region and impose itself on Arab countries.
Qatari state-run news channel Aljazeera has refused to comment on the audio clip.
Qatari officials did not confirm the report when Press TV contacted the Qatari Embassy in Tehran.
This is while several Arabic-language new agencies have covered the story. |

| The KSA army's a joke, but the interior ministry police seem efficient. |

Dear epik_teacher,
Well, my guess is that another "epik" is coming to an end. Being gratuitously nasty to other posters is a great way to get banned.
By the way, if you plan to work in Saudi for any length of time, you probably need to work on your patience level. A short temper with the locals there will almost certainly result in your being fired - or worse.
Regards,
John |
