Levin just put a lots of chips in the pot.

Could it have anything to do with this?

Last fall, according to news reports, the Saudi government denied the United States
permission to use Prince Sultan Air Base to command the air war in Afghanistan.

The Pentagon denied that was the case and said it was satisfied with the cooperation
from that government. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has adopted an unwavering
policy of not describing other countries' support for the U.S. war on terrorism because of
the political difficulty it can cause for the governments.


In the end, Saudis need US more than US needs them.
