Are the Saudis backing off now.... In a potential setback for Bush, however, Saudi Arabia was resisting a U.S. request to use a new command center on one of its bases in any air campaign, The Washington Post reported. SAUDIS NOT COOPERATING Quoting unidentified U.S. defense officials, it said Saudi resistance to use of the Prince Sultan Air Base had forced U.S. military planners to consider moving the operations center to another country, which could delay any air strikes for weeks. Saudi Arabia was Washington's foremost Arab ally in 1991 in the successful air and ground war when a U.S.-led international coalition expelled Iraqi occupying forces from Kuwait. dailynews.yahoo.com
