Saudi Arabia would not allow Israeli bombers to pass through its airspace en route to a possible strike of Iran's nuclear facilities, a member of the Saudi royal family said Saturday, denying an earlier Times of London report.

Are they having a family squabble?
dammit ! Who let that information out ??
FR is all over our A$$ now. No more plausible deniability.
No, more likely they’ve just surrendered to living under Sharia law. Kinda like Dearborn, MI.
Probably leaked by “O’s Glorious Regime” to forestall the coming attack. The House of Saud is close to being overthrown and letting the information leak out puts enormous pressure on the royal family if a strike were to occur. The Saudis probably did have the corridor open, until now.
Oh, I thought maybe they were packing to leave the country.
Of course they will.
Just like Jordan doesn’t want to be seen to closely allied to Israel and the US either.... or supporting the war in Iraq.......
Saudi Arabia knows who their threats are, and it “ain’t” Israel.
They will, if need be. These types of things should be kept quiet, the entire world doesn’t need to know.
I am surprised this became public. Israel does not operate this way. Unless there is a dissenter within the ruling family in Saudi Arabia, trying to warn Iran and warn off Israel?
Since when do military plans make the London Times? (Unless the plans come from the US.)
The House of Saud CAN’T openly ADMIT letting the “Zionists” overfly their territory! NEVER! But they’ll let it happen. They have no choice — they know their butt’s are in a sling just like everyone elses if Iran EVER get’s nukes. Their oil fields will be among the first targets to go boom.
of course they are going to deny... if there is an attack on Iran, Saudi Arabia isn’t going to announce “We let the Israeli Air Force through”.. it will be more like “The Saudi Air Force was engaged in war game exercises on the other side of the Gulf and could not get back in time to engage the Zionist aggressors.”
I’m not quite sure what to make of this situation. The House of Saud is hanging on by a thread. Has been for years. If war breaks out in the Middle East there is a very good chance they will be overthrown. People think I’m crazy when I say eventually, we’re gonna have to go into Saudi Arabia. And it won’t be just to protect the oil.
The obvious purpose of the US press leak is to stop the attack by embarrassing the Saudis.
The Obama administration will do anything it can to stop Israel from attacking Iran.
The Israelis will, when pressed, only seek permission from one entity.
It will be granted and they will be successful.
Obama wants to botch this,and of course , the Saudis having been caught aiding Israel is very similar to an Arab wife catching her husband chucking a camel.
Alot of spitting, hissing and gess what? The Israelis will still pass.
Agree on the press “leak”. Since obiwan does not condone any leaks about him or his actions.. this has to be a plant. All the same, though, the Saudis do not want to be seen on the “Arab Street” as helping the Israelis, even though much of the same street wishes the mullahcracy in Iran would just go away, and they don’t want them with nukes. Its very old-— Persians (Iranians) are not Sunni and they are the ancient kingdom of Persia, much hated. The Saudis don’t trust the russians either and know they are protecting russian interests in a future Iran.
Flying Jooooos!??!!!!
More of the “I voted for it, before I voted against it”?
Hum..... smells like plausible deniability.
