Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "Hmm... I thought it was because US forces were located in Saudi Arabia because the region wanted us to contain Saddam (Why else would the Saudi royal family have endured their presence?)?"

(1) Osama complained both about our support for Israel and our having troops in Saudi Arabia.

(2) I was not in favor of our having troops in Saudi Arabia. Ask anyone who served there. They were spat upon and hated by a substantial number of the locals.
