I guess they really want to be a province of Iraq.

Observe how the Saudis behaved since summer 1990, when then Sec.'s Cheney and Baker started negotiating with them over this possible scenario. Some believe the Saudis actually do struggle with this choice - U.S. or Hussein.
People dwell on our not having assassinated Hussein instead of at least one other important outcome of the Gulf War - that the Spitoon Clintoon administration should have led us out of our dependency on Mideast oil.
This on again off again story over the last few days do they want us or don't they - it is no different from the way the Saudis have been in at least the past 10 years. We are nuts for depending on them.
