I'd love to see this happen, but I really doubt it will. Why seize airports in various Arab states? The Saudis have already built airbases for our use, they just don't want us to use them to launch attacks against their buddy Iraqis. It would make more sense to start flying in men, materiel, and aircraft for an Iraqi attack. If the Saudis complain, tell them to jam it. If they want to step up, smack them militarily. As a bonus, we can tell them that we won't seize their oil fields as long as they stay the hell out of the way.

To my way of thinking, it was Saudis that seized American civilian planes on 9/11 and drove them into the WTF. Turn anout is fair play, we use their airfields to send our ordinance down on Iraq.

Truth be told, this article sounds like so much B. Streisand to me. Drudge should check his sources a little, he's been burned in the past.

I think Drudge is shooting for a good grade in creative writing. He must figure, "If DEBKA can do it, so can I."
