Now we be a good time for the Saudi Foreign Minister to put up or shut up. It is the Iraqi Shi'ites and the Kurds that are providing the boots on the ground in the battle against ISIS. All the Saudis have done is mount a few token air strikes. A good start for the Saudi government would be to stop their nationals from funding ISIS.
