U.S. Withdrawing Virtually All Forces From Saudi Arabia PRINCE SULTAN AIRBASE, Saudi Arabia, April 29 --The United States said on Tuesday it was ending military operations in Saudi Arabia and removing virtually all of its forces from the kingdom by mutual agreement after the Iraq war. What does this mean? One of the more entertaining conspiracy theories regarding the Iraq war was that we thought the Saudis were getting tired of us being there, and we needed a new military base in the region. Not that I'm saying I agree with that, but Iraq does seem to be more convenient for us, especially since we get to pick the government there.
And another thought - wasn't this what Bin Ladin wanted? Does that mean Al Qaeda will call off any planned terrorist attacks now? Too bad they don't have a press secretary to ask.
