| Saudis now say U.S. could use bases |
| 2002-09-16 |
| The Saudi foreign minister said yesterday 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 mark a significant shift in Saudi policy. You might say that... In an interview last month, Prince Saud declared that U.S. facilities in the desert kingdom would be off limits for an attack on Iraq. That was the other side of his mouth talking... Prince Saud said, however, that he remained opposed in principle to the use of military force against Saddam Hussein or a unilateral American attack. I can't take all this enthusiasm. I think I'll sit down and rest. Until he says something that contradicts both statements. |
