#1 A proxi war between Saudis and Iranians in Iraq. Goody, goody.

#2 Will intervene? Fire the Reuters editor who missed that verb tense error. Saudi money, materiel and manpower have been flowing into Iraq -- both officially and unofficially, as soon as the 2003 invasion was complete. As for flooding the oil market, I thought Saudi Arabia has been pumping at near maximum capacity, and with less foreign technical support since the local Al Qaeda cadres wne on a murder spree at the compounds housing high level resident aliens a few years ago. I keep waiting to hear that Saudi equipment has been irreparably damaged due to sand in the gears or something...

Perhaps this threat has already been secretly conveyed to Bush, and this may explain the weird US policy in Iraq at the moment.
