I think the Saudis are probably smart enough to come up with a better conspiracy. Generally, a conspiracy at least has some plausible motive. Exactly why would Saudi Arabia want to sell more oil for less money? To be more popular with their customers? A more likely conspiracy would be the Iraqis accusing the Saudis of such a dumb plot in an attempt to make them look even more lame than Saddam Hussein or the members of his family he has posing as geologists.
Actually, the ones most likely to hatch a deceptively unfathomable conspiracy like this would be Pentagon or CIA-types. They might have the requisite blend of abundant paranoia and budgetary unaccountability to be able to dream up a conspiracy that could make enormous sums of money mysteriously disappear for no apparent reason.
