threatened the Saudias

Usama wanted any help he could get knocking over the Saudi regime. He approached Hussein for cooperation in that area.

Yes, Saddam did threaten the Saudis when he invaded Kuwait. Remember "Operation Desert Shield." Need I say anymore.

Usama, wanted to kick Saddam out of Kuwait, but the Saudi government basically told him to go get lost...that's what irritated Usama (because that would place US soldiers in Saudi Arabia.)
