- FAHD TO BUSH: READY WHEN YOU ARE

- <p> President Bush has won Saudi approval for a possible new
- U.S.-led military strike against Saddam Hussein. Prince Bandar
- bin Sultan, Saudi ambassador to the U.S., has passed the word
- to senior American officials from King Fahd. Intelligence
- studies have found that Iraq remains a regional threat, with
- larger stores of biological and chemical weapons than was
- thought at the end of the war. If Bush decides to act, he will
- want to finish the job in time to reap election rewards. The
- Saudis will support air strikes or naval operations, but not
- another massive gathering of troops on their soil. Since
- coalition members Egypt and Syria have withheld support for
- renewed operations, Fahd's approval provides an all-important
- local sponsor and staging area.
