    No, only with umpteen US financial support, and what would be the gain for the individual States?

    As far as Syria, do you think a nation run by Shiites and supported by Shiites is going to view a Sunni army in their nation as anything but hostile?

    Wasn't KSA making noises awhile back about fielding a 'Sunni coalition' to go after ISIS?

    This would be a logical extension..no it will never happen -KSA won't even send land troops to Yemen
    and they are at war there

    They've already shot down several missiles launched from Iran at them and they have US made war planes at in their arsenal....
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    ... better watch what you wish for ...
    "It should be obvious to anyone why conservatives and libertarians should be against Trump. He has no grounding in belief. No core philosophy. No morals. No loyalty. No curiosity. No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18

    Iran has shot missiles at Saudi Arabia, and what the hell does it have to do with starting an "Arab army?"

    Iran could escalate their attacks on them at any time.....
    If they organize an army it'll just another arm of their already established missile and air defenses, one that will be needed if Iran actually invades their country with troops.
    Methods of defending a country requires all forms of defenses....

    The US administration has asked Arab countries including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar to contribute billions of dollars and a large number of troops to help reestablish stability in the war-torn country, and in particular in northern regions.

    Expressing his growing concern surrounding the cost and duration of the military intervention in Syria, President Trump said: “We have asked our partners to take greater responsibility for securing their home region, including contributing larger amounts of money.”

    A US administration official confirmed this statement, saying: “Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the U.A.E. have all been approached with respect to financial support and more broadly to contribute.”

    Trump’s new National Security Adviser, John Bolton, also reportedly contacted Egypt’s intelligence chief Abbas Kamel to determine whether the North African nation would contribute to the effort.

    This isn't a good idea. The Sunnis don't need to carry on a ground war in Syria. There's no upside for anyone. The Sunnis aren't going to fight Russia and Iran ... and they aren't going to take over governance of Syria from Assad. Damn Trump is an idiot.

    Hard to believe, but the mere suggestion shows a lack of understanding of the social, geopolitical, historical, and religious divisions that split and plague the Middle East. The last time this shortcoming plagued the White House we would up with the Iraq War
