I noticed you conveniently failed to highlight the following:

But until a new Iraqi government is established, ''the occupying forces must restore law and security,'' Prince Saud said. The statement called on the coalition to ''maintain security and stability'' in Iraq, and protect the rights of the Iraqi people ''and their cultural heritage.

The fact is they DON'T WANT US OUT until we get it stablized. Obviously. They know we need to be there to get the new government started (also left out of the AP-tainted article you posted:

"We call on the occupying power, which we hope will withdraw from Iraq as soon as possible, to quickly put in place an interim government with a view to setting up a constitutional government," said the Saudi Foreign Minister, Saud Al Faisal, on Friday. All the three countries derive benefits from the downfall of Mr. Hussein's regime. Iran, which fought a bitter eight-year war with Iraq has reasons to feel satisfied to see the end of Mr. Hussein's regime. Saudi Arabia which was subjected to missile attacks by Mr. Hussein's Government would also be relieved to see its back.

As I've said before, you have to be careful where you get your news...
