FORGET Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The real reason the United States invaded Iraq was Saudi Arabia, according to a US intelligence analyst. Dr George Friedman, chairman of the United States private sector intelligence company Stratfor, said the US had settled on WMD as a simple justification for the war and one which it expected the public would readily accept. Dr Friedman, in Australia on a business trip, said the US administration never wanted to explain the complex reasons for invading Iraq, keeping them from both the public and their closest supporters. "That, primarily, was the fact that Saudi Arabia was facilitating the transfer of funds to al-Qaeda, was refusing to cooperate with the US and believed in its heart of hearts that the US would never take any action against them," he said. Dr Friedman said the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the US prompted the strategy to hunt down al-Qaeda wherever it was to be found. But that proved exceedingly difficult. "The US was desperate. There were no good policy choices," he said. "Then the US turned to the question - we can't find al-Qaeda so how can we stop the enablers of al-Qaeda." He said those enablers, the financiers and recruiters, existed in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. But the Saudi government variously took the view that this wasn't true or that they lacked the ability and strength to act, he said. Dr Friedman said in March last year, the Saudis responded to US pressure by asking the US to remove all its forces and bases from their territory. To their immense surprise, the US did just that, relocating to Qatar. He said Saudi Arabia and al-Qaeda shared a number of beliefs including that the US could not fight and win a war in the region and was casualty averse. There was a need to change that perception. But close by was Iraq, the most strategically located nation in the Middle East, bordering Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, Turkey and Iran. "If we held Iraq we felt first there would be dramatic changes of behaviour from the Saudis," he said. "We could also manipulate the Iranians into a change of policy and finally also lean on the Syrians. "It wasn't a great policy. It happened to be the only policy available." Dr Friedman said US President George W Bush faced the difficulty of explaining this policy, particularly to the Saudis. Moves to link Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda failed completely. "They then fell on WMD for two reasons," he said. "Nobody could object to WMD and it was the one thing that every intelligence agency knew was true. "We knew we were going to find them. And we would never have to reveal the real reasons. "The massive intelligence failure was that everybody including Saddam thought he had WMD. He behaved as if he had WMD. He was conned by his own people."

They betta. My bracket's ridin on it.

A TEENAGE girl who wore a T-shirt that said Barbie was a lesbian has won a lawsuit against New York City and the right for public school students to wear clothes with political slogans. The city will also pay $US30,000 ($39,208) to Natalie Young, 15, a lesbian who was sent to the principal's office for wearing the shirt. She refused to change, was suspended and threatened with further suspension if she wore it again. Her mother sued the city over her right to express her views. New York public school staff must complete sensitivity training to improve relations with gay students. Pupils can "wear political or other types of buttons, badges or armbands, except where such material is libellous, obscene". They can wear a shirt that says the Iraq war is wrong but schools can ban shirts praising Osama Bin Laden.

Not lookin good for UConn, down 31-24 but Okafor hasn't been on much at all since he's got 2 fouls.

Best: Colorado and Pittsburgh Worst: Cubs and Royals

A lot of eyes will be on this team early while Sweeney and Anderson are starting in the outfield.
