"Saudi suggests kingdom would let U.S. use bases against Iraq

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The Saudi foreign minister said Sunday the kingdom would be "obliged to follow through" if the United States needed bases in the kingdom to attack Iraq under U.N. authority.

The comments to CNN by Prince Saud al-Faisal would mark a dramatic change in Saudi policy. In an interview last month with The Associated Press, Saud declared that U.S. facilities in the desert kingdom would be off limits for an attack on Iraq.

When asked by CNN specifically if Saudi bases would be available to Washington, Saud said: "Everybody is obliged to follow through."

The remote Prince Sultan Air Base south of Riyadh hosts most of the 5,000 U.S. troops based in Saudi Arabia. "

The "regime change" policy means that nothing Iraq does matters. If they disarm and allow full inspection, it makes no difference. Regime change means nothing will satisfy the US until Saddam is gone, period. Bush has been backing away from this policy because it is just plain stupid to have as a policy and he is trying to restore the only policy that makes any sense: Disarm or else.
