Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal indicated in a weekend interview that Saudi Arabia, the main launchpad in the 1991 Gulf War, would again allow the use of bases on its soil to attack Iraq should such action win full UN backing.

Shouldn't that read "with" full UN backing instead of "win" full UN backing.
I believe this latest news from Saudi Arabia is that they will allow use of the bases no matter what the UN thinks about it.

thanks ... I definitely don't mean to be one of those "why is this breaking news cops" but I wondered why Drudge also thought it was so significant ... by my count we could end up with 7 carriers or so in that region as well ... not to mention Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar ...
