This is floated in the NYTimes immediately after Baker's ISG report, bought and paid for by the Sauds, is roundly rejected.

If the Saudis paid for the Baker-Hamilton report, they got gypped.

The report calls for talks with IRAN. This story says the Saudis are flatly against U.S. talks with Iran. In part this is because Iran is a looming Shia threat. And in part it's because Iran is going for the nuclear bomb and the means to deliver it, and the Saudis are afraid talks with Iran about Iraq would end up derailing world-wide opposition to THAT, thus enabling Iran to become a nuclear power, unopposed by the U.S. and Europe.

Thinking the Saudis bought the Baker report, in the face of how unhappy the Saudis are with it, so unhappy they're threatening to become involved on the ground in Iraq to protect the Sunnis if push comes to shove, and are demanding that we not enter talks with Iran (as Baker urges), just MIGHT put YOU in the Silvestre Reyes school of international security knowledge...
