The Saudis certainly were not opposed to taking him out, that's why they allowed us to base forces in Saudi during OIF.It wasn't behind a paywall for me. I'm so sorry. We didn't take Gaddafi out. Israel wanted Saddam Hussein over thrown.. everyone in the ME was against that... Oilmen, diplomats, historians , American expats... Anyone who knows anything about the ME. Syria couldn't be helped. They were in free fall by 2005. Once Assad arrested and tortured the schoolboys the country exploded. Dubya is pretty dumb. Not his father. The Saudis have a track record going back 80 years. They don't get much wrong. Ibn Saud's sons with the exception of King Saud are remarkable.
