Right at the end of a Washington Post article about how the US administration is no longer talking about weapons of mass destruction (possibly because they haven't found any of them):
[Walter Russell Mead, member of the Council on Foreign Relations] and other analysts noted that the U.S. military presence in Saudi Arabia is a core grievance of Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda terrorist organization. Hussein's overthrow has enabled the United States to close down its operations at the Prince Sultan Air Base south of Riyadh, the Saudi capital.
Is this the new US policy on terrorists - to take the wind out of their sails by giving them what they want?
