The Saudi's were investors and business associates of Daddy's. (Bin Ladens - Carlyle)

The Saudi's didn't try to kill Daddy.

The Saudi's didn't need punishment for unfinished Gulf War events.

This is all personal, Freudian and flawed.

don't think of it as us, the USA, needing the oil for ourselves so much, more like having Russia and France aware that we are now overseeing those huge reserves that they had very big coontracts against.Call it leverage...

Oh, come now Neo. You're way smarter than you're sounding here. We get to oversee the vast untapped reserves and use Iraq as a counterweight to Saudi oil influence and spread our dependence around a bit more. See? It is an attack on SA, after all.
