Pepe Escobar: "All (war) roads lead to Mecca''

From Asia Times

Why not have it both ways?
''So the "Custodian" seems to have sold the notion that Iran and the GCC are talking - even if practically at each other's throats. But the House of Saud agenda remains extremely tricky; it may not dream of a smashed Iran, but certainly a very weakened Iran, either by years of Western sanctions or by a potential Israeli attack. It's no secret the GCC badly wants Israel to attack Iran; it then could reap the benefits of inwardly delighting over a weakened regional Shi'ite power while publicly condemning Israel's unilateral aggression.
