Volume 78, No. 112B ©SS 2019 CONTINGENCY EDITION SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2019 stripes.com Free to Deployed Areas ANALYSIS Saudi Arabia’s On the defensive ability to fight Iran uncertain Pentagon sending more troops to Middle East BY NABIH BULOS Los Angeles Times BAGHDAD — In the days after in wake of attack on Saudi oil facilities the Sept. 14 attack on Saudi Ara- bia’s oil facilities, the kingdom’s leaders and officials have kept hammering one message: Saudi Arabia is willing and able to re- spond to Iran. But can it? Beyond the strident rhetoric from U.S. officials, and a steady drip of information that falls short of directly blaming Tehran, Riyadh faces a U.S. president re- luctant to go to war on its behalf. Its regional allies, including its top partner in the United Arab Emirates, appear to have little appetite for military adventures, especially after a bruising, four- year-and-counting quagmire against Iran-backed Houthi reb- els in Yemen. That means Saudi Arabia would have to go to war on its own, just as serious questions are being raised about how effective its forces — and their vaunted Amer- ican-made defenses — would be in a fight against Iran. On Sept. 14, 25 drones and cruise missiles, according to Saudi defense officials, traveled hundreds of miles from the north and slammed into critical facili- ties in Khurais and Abqaiq, the world’s largest oil processing plant, some 200 miles northeast of Riyadh.

PHILADELPHIA PA — Police said a Penn- sylvania man captured a home invader with the help of his three pit bulls. Investigators said the 30-year- old homeowner and another resident were inside their North Philadelphia home around 8:45 p.m. when two men entered, an- nouncing a robbery. The homeowner wrestled one of the suspects to the ground while the other shot him in the left thigh before fleeing the scene. As the homeowner continued fighting with the first suspect, the three pit bulls joined in and attacked the intruder.

BY ANN HORNADAY The Washington Post look comes over Brad Pitt when he listens to James Gray masculinity that can only be described in one word: tickled. And a little awed. ARecently, the actor and director visited Washington to premiere “Ad Astra,” a ‘Ad Astra’ star Brad Pitt science-fi ction drama in which Pitt plays an astronaut sent to Neptune to retrieve says it’s time for men his father, who has been presumed dead. Gray conceived his idea in 2011 but it lay to value connection dormant until Pitt agreed to produce it in 2016; the fi lm, both agree, changed pro- foundly in the ensuing years, becoming as instead of acting aloof much a meditation on middle-aged regret as a speculative glimpse into a space-age future. “It’s a wild horse and it gets away from you,” says Gray, not just about “Ad Astra” but about every movie he’s tried to wrangle, including 2016’s “The Lost City of Z.” “It’s your job to make it beautiful as it runs away.” Pitt barks out an admiring laugh at that turn of phrase, which happens frequently in the course of a fast-moving conversa- tion.

BY GREG BEACHAM Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Matt Fink decided to stay at Southern California even after finishing third in the Trojans’ four-man quarterback competition in training camp last month. A few weeks later, Fink found himself passing for 351 yards, leading a victory over No. 10 Utah at the roaring Coliseum, and sitting between Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart for a postgame interview on na- tional television. Fink didn’t give up on his USC dream, and the Trojans are grateful they had such a talented backup to their backup. Michael Pittman Jr. caught 10 passes for a career-high 232 yards and a touchdown from Fink in USC’s 30-23 victory over the Utes on Friday night.

As his Major League Soccer career draws to a close and he prepares to return home to England, D.C. United’s Wayne Rooney would like one more shot at the playoffs. Final shot DARRYL DYCK, THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP Before going home, D.C.’s Rooney wants playoff trip

BY ANNE M. PETERSON Associated Press s his Major League Soccer career draws to a close and he prepares to return home to England, Wayne Rooney would like one more shot at the playoffs. The longtime Manchester United and English national team striker is in the final regular-season stretch with D.C.A United, which is 12-10-9 this season for fifth in the Eastern Con- ference. There are three games to go, including Sunday’s match at home against the Sounders. “I know mathematically it doesn’t put us in a playoff spot just yet, but I think we have to lose every game and the teams outside the playoff spots have to win every game, and if that happens then we don’t deserve to be in it,” Rooney said.
