Drone WarsInterview with a U.S. Air Force drone pilot: It is, oddly, war at a very intimate level
"Inevitably, RPAs will change war. What we will have ten years from now is going to make things that we are doing today seem almost primitive. What we call pilots today will change. The skillsets necessary to be a pilot will be vastly different ten years from now. Maybe we won't event continue to call them pilots. And what's going to happen twenty years from now? It's going to be dramatically different.

GCC and Oil MarketsUAE and Qatar least vulnerable to falling oil price while Bahrain and Oman are most exposed says S&P
‘The lower oil price could slow economic growth for the GCC and weaken the operating environment for the corporate and infrastructure sectors. A prolonged period of lower government revenue given GCC governments’ high infrastructure spending plans may push up sovereign and government-related entity capital market issuance and place a greater onus on the private sector to fund investments.

Global Oil MarketsAn Oil Price ‘Cold War’ With Saudi Arabia? Experts Disagree
It’s an oil-wrestling match – but it might only be as real as the WWE. Last week, Saudi Arabia slashed its crude oil prices for the second month in a row – and unlike the last discount, this was exclusively for the U.S. market. Saudi oil minister Ali Al-Naimi, the country's top energy official, attends a meeting Sept. 11 in Kuwait. Some experts declared it the start of a “cold war” with Saudi Arabia, as described by two University of Texas professors in an op-ed in the Dallas Morning News. Other analysts, however, contend that the Saudis are merely trying to defend against other exporters to the U.S.

GCC and RegionGulf Cooperation Council’s Role in Regional Dynamics – AUSPC2014
Now, United States is our major trading partner. Why in the name of God couldn’t we sign a free trade area between the United States and GCC? Both markets are very active. And we notice in 2007, 2008, and 2009 that American businesspeople were just running away to airport. We used to have a joke in 1990 when Saddam invaded Kuwait that the fastest train in the world was a Japanese going to the airport in GCC. Now we saw the Americans are even faster. So I think it is about time that we both put our houses in order and sign a free trade area between GCC and the United States.

ISIS StrategyWar, Interrupted, Part II: From Prisoners to Rulers
The life of a jihadist usually means serving extended periods of time in the various prisons of the “apostate” regimes, interspersed with well-meaning releases or paroles. It is a rite of passage for many jihadist leaders. Abu Musab al Zarqawi spent many years in Jordanian prisons, and Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, the most famous alum of the American detention system, was released in 2004 after a recommendation by a combined board felt he did not pose a threat. Islamic State messaging frequently remembers “brothers” incarcerated by the Iraqi government, and often complains (missing a sense of irony of course) about their mistreatment. They have also proclaimed to both their prisoners and the Iraqi government that their highest priority is to break them out of prison. As part of the Islamic State’s military campaign to return to relevance, introduced in the first part of this series, they constructed a multi-layered plan to free their members in Iraqi prisons.

In his interview with CBS's Face the Nation broadcast, Mr Obama said: "Phase one was getting an Iraqi government that was inclusive and credible - and we now have done that. "Rather than just try to halt IS's momentum, we're now in a position to start going on some offense," he said.
