Christ are the Saudi's really going to stage another American invasion of their neighbour? Its not as though Iraq is a threat to Saudi's borders anymore (not that it ever was) and no spin doctor on earth would be able to justify an invasion under the last UN resolution (promote peace and stability in the region?? Yeah lets have a war!), or the possibility that Iraq may be developing nasty 3rd rate weapons.
How the hell is Bush going to get the Gulf states behind him on this? Maybe I'm underestimating the value of the dollar but without foreign basing its a non starter...

Wish I'd payed more attention during Si Murden's middle eastern politics lectures now....
