Ewan - Are you saying sources within the glourious Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were providing the lion's share of weapons to insurgents in Iraq?
Surely we should have pushed for some sort of mandate via the UN in order to deal with them then.................?

Not sure about weapons, but people, certainly.
Frankly, the double standards that exist in the interests of political and economic expediency are staggering.
I just don't know how politicians do it. While I can in a way understand why they don't really have much flexibility to do things differently, I do have a real problem with our government taking us into yet another conflict when we haven't the money, resources or even the moral high ground from/with which to do it.
