This one (just click through the ad & get over it) suggests that the Saudis brokered a deal to get Saddam & co. out of Iraq. Since I feel like playing along today, I'll suggest something the article left out. By sneaking Saddam into Mecca, not only does he get out of the way, but by disappearing him Dubya & the gang can scream bloody murder at Syria without having to worry about them actually producing anyone, and Saudi Arabia keeps the heat off a little longer.
Do I believe this? Not really. But it does make for a fun theory.
