Always remember, Kristol doesn't have the best interests of the Bush administration in mind. He ALWAYS promotes the most belligerent (if emotionally satisfying) option, usually one that would be destructive to the Republican party, even if it damages the nation. I thought his fingerprints were all over that NYT article this morning, and I believe I am right.

Kristol would love for the relationship with the Saudis to collapse. He could then rail about how terible Bush's foreign policy is.

My best advice is to ignore Kristol.

Now you can't possibly think that the Saudis are our friends?

Our eventual goal should be to destabilize the House of Saud.

There are medications to cure this type of delusion.
Is the fact that the NY Times is against Kristol's policies are some kind of cover for the machinations, or were you just wrong?

Is it possible that he Saudi's released teh story to get the American intelligensia to pressure Bush to cave? I think that is more likely than your conspiracy.
