Had Saddam Hussein attacked Saudi Arabia in the Gulf War, could he have successfully invaded Saudi?

Question

Because Saudi Arabia is a massive country and Iraq is much smaller. I know there was a chance after Kuwait invasion that Hussein was going to attack Saudi Arabia.

he did get a few nicks in here and there, like they said above..
I can remember seeing some spent military miscles shells around town even here in Khobar.. The kids (before realizing the toxicity of them) would play with them and collect as souveniers.. Even my father in law has a piece in his garage he kept all these years..
I know thats why Saudi allowed USA soldiers to come in those years. I can remember seeing the all the controversy when the military had female drivers for some of their tanks, cars, etc. and some of the Mutawwas got all upset, so they had to make a ruling that only the men could drive about in town..
I remember being at Tamimi safeway in KHobar when a female soldier drove up in a jeep.. hahahaha! everyone was staring at her, poor thing
Now Saudi supposedly drove out the US military and they are now semi permenant stationed in Qatar.. (but there is rumor there is a hidden military base somewhere south of Riyadh where US soldiers are still stationed)

There is a US military base here - near Dammam - complete with their own radio channel which we sometimes catch (we are in a compound on the outskirts of riyadh). They are here to protect the Al Sauds from fanatics both inside the country and outside.



Hellsbells: your answer is a little jumbled up - are you saying jews will have another holocaust?? God forbid - we are still bearing the brunt of the first one, god alone knows for how long will we hear about a second one!!
Meanwhile everyone has conveniently forgotten Bosnia and Chechenya!!!

Answer 4

He wanted the 'yanks' out of kuwait - their influence is 'bad news'. Still, others are waking up to the fact - better late than never - and the Israelis are 'squatters' in Palestine. A History Book tells it properly - but we have to ignore the truth.
Their 'holocaust' was a prophecy. - they want another - it's their choice.

Answer 5

Yes, Saudis are cowardly so they would surrender fast. But in fairness, Iraq surrendered fast when the US invaded, so Iraqis are cowards too, just not as cowardly as Saudis.
