"Saudis consider sending troops to Iraq"

2. I'm for it.
Send Syrian, Saudi, and Iranian troops into Iraq. We pull out. Let the dogs then kill each other fighting over the corpse of Iraq, then we bomb the hell out of the survivor. Then we wave our magic pixie wands and subdue the general populaces of all those countries, and we win!

Then we get the bonus round!
